They're finally here: the Oscars! Even if you're planning to be deep in a wine- and cheese-fueled slumber by the time the awards ceremony starts, the red carpet will provide hours of entertainment, speculation, and most of all, intense scrutiny. It's the most important night in celebrity fashion, and we're here to document it all.
Naturally, there'll be a few expected arrivals: Jennifer Lawrence will show up in Dior, and Kate Winslet will wear custom Ralph Lauren. But so far, there've been a few surprises: Saoirse Ronan showed up in two different earrings, Chrissy Teigen had to be sewn into her dress, and Giuliana Rancic used the opportunity to shill a smartwatch.
Until the very last celebrity arrives, however, brush up on last year's best and worst dressed, take a look back at the red carpet style transformations of Best Actress nominees Jennifer Lawrence, Saoirse Ronan, and Brie Larson, and be sure to follow along with our liveblog!
