16 Ways to Dress like the Oscars’ Best Dressed Stars

The red carpet is the perfect place to gain a little style inspiration, and the Academy Awards are like the Super Bowl of fashion. While we care about more than just who’s wearing what, (yes, we want to #AskHerMore too) we get our style stalker on HARD this time of year. Whether you’re trying to channel old Hollywood glamour or you’re going for a more unconventional look, we found 16 ways to steal star steez for your next glam party or event… paparazzi not included.

1. Halter Cutout Pencil ($83): Reese Witherspoon kept it classy with a simple black and white gown. There’s no going wrong with black and white, and a couple sexy cutouts only seals the deal. (Photo via Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

2. Savan Jacquard Gown ($378): This dress combines two fun and feminine touches: florals and a full skirt. The only thing missing are those pockets that Chloe Grace Moretz was obviously obsessed with. We would be too. (Photo via Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)

3. Slate Gray High Neck Dress ($160): The two elements that we loved about Felicity Jones’ red-carpet stunner were the unexpected high neck and the amazing embellishment. We found a dress that captured both of these and is a little more practical than a ball gown. (Photo via Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

4. Sweetheart to Heart Peach Lace Maxi Dress ($61): Does anyone wear pink like Gwyneth Paltrow? It doesn’t hurt to try, and this body-skimming maxi number will do just fine. A flower corsage on one strap would complete the look. (Photo via Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)

5. Maternity One Shoulder Maxi Dress ($30): This maternity dress is perfect for the coming warm weather. The bright red and one shoulder silhouette worn by Fifty Shades of Grey‘s Dakota Johnson inspired us to find something bold. (Photo via Christopher Polk/Getty Images)

6. Sleeveless Party Dress With Popover Top ($650): We loved Rita Ora’s look when she took the stage to perform. We had to find a way to copy her black and white, full-skirt look, and the fact that this party dress is two pieces makes it even better. (Photo via Christopher Polk/Getty Images)

7. Long Sleeve Sequin Mini Dress ($50): In our eyes, Lupita Nyong’o can do no wrong, and her breathtaking pearl dress was no exception. We loved the amount of embellishment in an always chic shade of white. (Photo via Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

8. River Island Peplum Bandeau Pencil Dress ($111): Don’t worry, peplum isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Which is totally fine by us, since the silhouette it creates is the most flattering. Many of the stars, including Kerry Washington, kept their colors neutral at the Academy Awards. (Photo via Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

9. Carissima Sheath ($258): You can never go wrong with a black dress. And when you add a little touch of lace, it’s even better for a night out on the town. With Kelly Osbourne’s purple hair, sticking with black was an excellent choice. (Photo via Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

10. V-Neck Maxi Dress ($50): Margot Robbie surprised us with her sheer black number and plunging neckline. The sooner we can copy this look, the better. A sheer black dress is superb for transitioning into spring. (Photo via Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)

11. Eyelet-Lace Drop Waist Dress ($845): The fabric of Marion Cotillard’s dress was like an oversized eyelet, which created amazing texture and had us wondering where we could find something like that. This drop waist dress (though a definite splurge) has just the kind of texture we were in the market for. (Photo via Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

12. Heavy Metallic Jacquard Dress ($78): Zoe Saldana rocked a blush-colored gown with luxurious draping, which accented her post-baby curves just the right amount. The color and seaming of this arty dress from Nasty Gal would accent your feminine curves in the same way. (Photo via Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

13. Eyelash Lace Strapless Dress ($28): Rosamund Pike kept the old Hollywood glam going with a vivacious red strapless gown. Pretty much anything in this lipstick shade of red channels instant glamour. (Photo via Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

14. Constance Dress ($588): Zendaya reminded us of a Grecian goddess on the red carpet, and we couldn’t get enough of her off-the-shoulder, draped sleeves. This gown from Reformation not only has the same romantic sleeve, but would make an elegant wedding gown. (Photo via Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)

15. Coast Harven Dress With Pleated Skirt ($358): We don’t think anyone had as much fun as Jennifer Lopez did at the Oscars, and we think it had a lot to do with her amazingly full skirt. How can you not have the time of your life when you’re surrounding by flowing tulle? It’s a look we’d mimic any day. (Photo via Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

16. Structured Peplum Dress ($78): Yellow is just the right color as we get closer to spring, and we loved Jennifer Hudson’s unique color choice. The structured style of her dress really caught our eye, especially with the illusion of two pieces. Peplum is a great way to get that same structured look.

Whose Oscar look do you want to steal? Let us know in the comments!

The internet loves pitting celebrities against each other because people were convinced Gwyneth Paltrow and Meghan Markle had a growing rivalry. For a while, we wondered if something was wrong since the growing "evidence" about it seemed to confirm suspicions. But no one could've predicted how quickly the CEO of Goop and With Love, Meghan host would shut down rumors.

Although we didn't see this coming, we're glad Gwyneth decided to poke holes in the "theories" about her alleged feud with Meghan.

Scroll to revisit the rumors that led to Gwyneth Paltrow & Meghan Markle's epic collab

Wait, why did people think Gwyneth Paltrow & Meghan Markle were feuding?

Adam Rose/Netflix

People have been finding ways to rip With Love, Meghan to shreds and have accused Meghan of copying Pamela Anderson's Pamela's Cooking with Love show (via Page Six). PEOPLEalso alludes to a growing call out that Meghan's show imitates Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop. However, the source of Gwyneth and Meghan's rumored feud stems from a reel Paltrow posted a few days ago.

Giving us a peek at what feels like a "soft girl" morning, Gwyneth made "gluten-free buttermilk biscuits, not-so-perfectly cooked over-easy eggs, and crispy bacon #boyfriendbreakfast," per her caption and gave her dog sweet kisses. While some of the comments appreciated a glimpse into her life, some people couldn't help but bring up Meghan Markle.

Here's a few of the standout comments:

  • "I was not a Paltrow fan, until today. This is what authenticity looks like. ♥️ the background song (super trolling Meghan Markle) was a nice touch. Gwyneth’s own home (not a rented mansion) actually cooking like we all do and broke a yolk 🤦🏻♀️ Love it. I’m here for it."
  • "Meghan has become the laughing stock of the world. It doesn’t take much to shade her these days😂"
  • "It's bad enough that women are pitted against each other but it's unforgivable when women do it themselves. I thought Gwyneth had more class but I guess she was just acting."

How did Gwyneth shut down the rumors? 

According to PEOPLE's recent article, Gwyneth sat down to chat with her fans via Instagram Stories yesterday to answer a series of questions from fans. One person asked, "Are you comprehending the Meghan Markle beef that social media says you two have?" Gwyneth didn't waste time by saying, "I genuinely do not understand this at all, whatsoever," before asking someone, "Do you understand this?"

As she moved the camera over, Meghan could be seen eating with a smile on her face. Her responses indicated she didn't know what people were talking about either.

Has Gwyneth addressed the similarities between Goop and 'With Love, Meghan?'

In her Vanity Fair interview, Gwyneth didn't hesitate to share how she really feels about Meghan. She said, "[if] there’s noise about certain women in the culture, I do have, always, a strong instinct to stand up for them."

But, what stands out is what the actress and entrepreneur said next. "I was raised to see other women as friends, not foes. I think there’s always more than enough to go around. Everybody deserves an attempt at everything that they want to try."

Specifically, her mother, actress Blythe Danner, imparted valuable wisdom to her during her younger days that Gwyneth remembers well. During a moment of jealousy, she made a comment about another young woman to which Blythe said, "Another woman is never your competition" because she knows "what is right for you will find you."

Thank God for moms who raise their daughters to be girls girl!

Austin Butler as Elvis truly changed Hollywood, because now, not only are we getting Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan and Selena Gomez as Linda Rondstat, but Paul Mescal is also one of the actors leading the upcoming biopics about The Beatles. Each movie, from director Sam Mendes, will focus on a different member of the band — and their unique points of view — but will intersect to “tell the astonishing story of the greatest band in history,” per Variety. And it'll be “the first binge-able theatrical experience,” according to Sony's Tom Rothman. But the best news is that we finally just got the full cast.

Here's everything you need to know about Sam Mendes' Beatles movies, starring Paul Mescal, Harris Dickinson, Barry Keoghan, and Joseph Quinn.

Who is playing John Lennon in The Beatles movie?

John Lennon will be played by Harris Dickinson in the new movies about The Beatles! Director Sam Mendes confirmed the casts for his Beatles biopics at CinemaCon 2025. “We’re not just making one film about the Beatles — we’re making four,” Sam said at the convention. “Perhaps this is a chance to understand them a little more deeply.”

Here's the full cast:

  • Harris Dickinson as John Lennon: The Beatles' founder and one of the lead vocalists.
  • Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney: pianist, and one of the lead songwriters and singers for The Beatles.
  • Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr: The Beatles' drummer.
  • Joseph Quinn as George Harrison: lead guitarist of The Beatles.

Is there a new Beatles movie coming out?

Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images

Yes, director Sam Mendes is developing four movies about The Beatles — one for each member of the band. Each individual movie will tell a story from the perspective of one member (including Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, John Lennon, and George Harrison).

“I’m honored to be telling the story of the greatest rock band of all time, and excited to challenge the notion of what constitutes a trip to the movies,” Sam Mendes told Variety.

How many Beatles films are there?

We're going to be getting four new Beatles films from Sam Mendes and Sony, which are currently slated for April 2028. But you can actually see the real members of The Beatles in a few movies! The band appeared in the following movies:

  • A Hard Day's Night (1964)
    • Help! (1965)
      • Magical Mystery Tour (1967)
        • Yellow Submarine (1968)
          • Let It Be (1970)

          Where can I watch the new Beatles biopics?

          Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images

          Each of the four movies will be released in theaters, thanks to Sony Pictures Entertainment, and they're currently scheduled for April 2028.

          “You have to match the boldness of the idea with a bold release strategy,” Sony Pictures chief Tom Rothman told The Hollywood Reporter. “There hasn’t been an enterprise like this before, and you can’t think about it in traditional releasing terms.”

          Who is playing Paul McCartney in The Beatles biopic?

          Arturo Holmes/Getty Images

          Paul Mescal is playing Paul McCartney in the new Beatles movies, and during Gladiator 2 director Ridley Scott actually revealed the casting last year! When asked if Paul Mescal was starring in his next film The Dog Stars, Ridley told filmmaker Christopher Nolan, “Yes. Maybe. Paul is actually stacked up, doing the Beatles next. So I may have to let him go.”

          While Paul Mescal's involvement in Sony's upcoming Beatle biopic quartet (say that five times fast) has been around the rumor mill, the news is finally confirmed by the movie studio.

          1. Add cottage cheese to scrambled eggs.

          This is one of my favorite things to do if I'm craving a savory breakfast – especially one that’ll fill me up! Adding a heaping scoop of Trader Joe's cottage cheese to your scrambled eggs (just mix it in with the eggs before cookin’ them) not only ups the protein content in each bite, but it makes the eggs super fluffy and never dry.

          2. Use Trader Joe’s high-protein tofu instead of regular tofu.

          Did you know that TJ’s carries a special kind of high-protein tofu? As opposed to the regular variety that has around 9 grams of protein per serving, this pack is loaded with 14 grams of protein per serving! It’s perfect to use for stir fries, tofu scrambles, and tofu fries with an extra boost.

          3. Add Trader Joe’s protein granola to Greek yogurt bowls.

          Trader Joe’s also sells a delicious high-protein granola – and it’s insanely good. I like to top my Greek yogurt bowls with it for breakfast, though you could easily use it as a cereal or just snack on it dry. The Peanut Butter Protein Granola has a whopping 11 grams of protein per serving – the only drawback here is that people with a peanut allergy can’t enjoy it.

          4. Add protein powder to your morning oatmeal.

          Trader Joe’s doesn’t carry a name-brand protein powder, though the Orgain variety is typically always on shelves when I shop there. The tub they have is actually smaller than most other protein powders you can find elsewhere, too, which is highly agreeable with my lifestyle since I live alone – and don’t wish to spend $30 on protein every time.

          Anywho, I love using this protein powder to ramp up the protein content in oatmeal bowls and smoothies alike. Two scoops delivers 21 grams of organic, plant-based protein that tastes oh-so yummy.

          5. Stock up on TJ’s underrated protein snacks for an easy (yet satisfying) bite.

          If you don’t have the time (or simply the energy) to whip up a high-protein snack, Trader Joe’s actually has plenty of bites to offer. Here are some of my favorites to always keep stocked:
