Rose Byrne leads glamorous early arrivals to the Oscars

Rose Byrne leads glamorous early arrivals to the Oscars

Rose Byrne was one of the first celebrities to walk the red carpet at the 98th Academy Awards.

Australian actress Byrne, who is nominated for best leading actress for her role in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, attended the Oscars in a strapless black fishtail gown by Dior, with floral embroidery across the bodice and hem.

Byrne paired the look with slicked back hair, a statement necklace and a bright red lip.

Up-and-comer Chase Infiniti, who appeared in Paul Thomas Anderson’s film One Battle After Another, chose springtime hues for her pale purple gown by French fashion house Louis Vuitton.

The form-fitting bodice was accentuated by a billowing ruffled skirt, and Infiniti kept her look relaxed with her micro braids left loose.

Also opting for colour on the carpet was Norwegian actress Renate Reinsve, nominated for the best actress award for her role in Sentimental Value.

Reinsve also wore a Louis Vuitton creation: a vivid red strapless dress with an asymmetric hem. She leaned into the minimalism of the look with simple, slicked back hair, no necklace and strappy sandals.

The Brutalist star Felicity Jones donned a pale lemon gown to walk the red carpet, with a tulle caped skirt overlaid and delicate sequin detailing.

Opting for a monochromatic look was Clueless actress Alicia Silverstone, who wore a custom Christian Siriano look. The outfit included a black velvet strapless bodice, matching gloves and a sequinned white skirt.

Bridgerton star Charithra Chandran wore a rich emerald gown by Miss Sohee on the red carpet. The satin strapless look included a bow detailing on the rear and a voluminous skirt.

Lola Kirke, who appears in the record-breaking film Sinners, which has clocked up a total of 16 nominations at this year’s Oscars, wore a whimsical black midi-length dress with bow detailing, lace and sheer panels.

Hamnet author Maggie O’Farrell, whose award-winning novel has been given the big-screen treatment, wore a bright fuchsia gown for the Oscars. She accessorised her look with black accents in the form of a belt, necklace, lace gloves and fascinator.
