I’ve never been nominated for an Oscar (or an Emmy, Grammy, or Tony, for that matter), but I can hazard a guess that getting ready for an awards show red carpet is a production. The marathon of ceremonies between the December 2025 Gotham Awards and March 2026 Oscars calls for a steady stream of ballgowns and tuxedos—but a few events along the way are, blessedly, pretty chill. Today’s Oscar Nominees Luncheon at the Beverly Hilton, a get-together for the lucky few in the running for Hollywood’s highest honor, was one example.
Rose Byrne was the poster child for cool this afternoon, wearing a look from Louise Trotter’s spring 2026 Bottega Veneta debut: a brown tank with one strap sliding off the shoulder, a pair of tapered black high-waisted trousers, and off-white mules. Matching her sensibility? The Secret Agent’s Wagner Moura, who ditched traditional suiting for a plum shirt and trousers with a matching overcoat.
Though many of the attendees opted for suiting, the looks strayed a bit from standard red carpet fare. Sentimental Value’s Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas—one of the breakout fashion stars of the season—also opted for Bottega, wearing a draped cream silk blouse and an oversized navy suit. Her costar Elle Fanning also reached for suiting, though she opted for a feminine Givenchy by Sarah Burton interpretation. Emma Stone, meanwhile, riffed on a tux in a minidress with lapels and a plunging neckline.
Elsewhere, Jacob Elordi flouted the fashion rules, pairing a black jacket with gray trousers and brown shoes, and Timothée Chalamet abandoned neutrals altogether for an electric blue double-breasted suit.
