The classic color combo of black and white dominated the red carpet as stars like Billie Eilish wore a white shirtdress fitted underneath a black Thom Browne dress. On the men's side, Steven Yeun wore a pearl-encrusted jacket and tuxedo pants from Pharell's debut men's collection for Louis Vuitton. Best Supporting Actress Winner Da'Vine Joy Rudolph wowed audiences in a custom Jovana Louis gown in a black mermaid shape styled by Wayman + Micah. Classic white was interpreted in interesting silhouettes worn by the likes of The Bear's Ayo Edebiri in a relaxed look from The Row and Keri Russell, who wore a Stéphane Rolland creamy couture creation.
Rosettes made us fall in love with the sweet romance trend as the neckline of Margot Robbie's blood-red Balmain dress, the shoulder of Emily Blunt's sequined Armani Privé look, and the entirety of Dua Lipa's Prada dress were enveloped in pretty petals. A painterly floral motif adorned Ali Wong's green Givenchy gown, while Elizabeth Debicki was all wrapped in a big bow from Oscar De La Renta. Blue hues were a major callout of the night as Lily Gladstone beamed in a custom Christian Siriano while Rosamund Pike and Matt Bomer both donned the color in their sequins and suits.
