Celebrity stylist Deborah Afshani has been observing the red carpet trends ahead of the Oscars, where "Hamnet" director Chloe Zhao is nominated for best director and best adapted screenplay at the Academy Awards. She noted that prominent embellishments such as sequins and cutouts have been seen on red carpet frocks this year. For men's attire, nominees including Leonardo DiCaprio, Timothee Chalamet and Michael B. Jordan have been wearing tailored suits or tuxedos.
