About a month before the 98th Academy Awards, the "2026 Oscar nominees luncheon" drew attention for its gathering of glamorous stars. But not everyone received applause. Some stars' bold choices were instead recorded as "fashion disasters," drawing harsh criticism.
The event was held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles and was an official gathering ahead of the 98th Academy Awards to be held at the Dolby Theatre on March 15. The ceremony will be hosted by comedian Conan O'Brien. The following are the worst dressers selected by Daily Mail in a report on the 10th (local time).
■ timothée chalamet, satin suit that lacked fit
Timothée Chalamet wore a deep navy satin pant suit, but critics pointed to the pants' creases and an ambiguous fit. The match with black boots and a white shirt was safe, but the silhouette drew comments that it looked as if it "had brushed past the tailor."
■ rita wilson, wedding guest look? not appropriate for the tpo
Rita Wilson chose a white Race shirt dress. It had a mood closer to a summer soiree or wedding guest look, and some felt it did not quite suit the weight of an official Oscar luncheon.
■ rose byrne, "did you come from 2016?"
Rose Byrne chose a black off-shoulder romper, but reactions said it evoked past trends more than being trendy. The near omission of accessories also added to a bland impression.
■ lee jae "too oversized"
Lee Jae chose a beige and black pinstripe suit, but overall the excessively large silhouette was disappointing. The pants fell so long they seemed about to trail on the floor, and the blazer, also oversized covering the hips completely, gave the impression of swallowing his frame. The styling that paired a yellow·white dotted silk shirt with a Race green bra as innerwear was highly individualistic, but the overlapping color and pattern at once created a somewhat chaotic impression. There was boldness, but critics said it lacked refined balance.
In addition, Amy Madigan's damask-patterned suit and Couter Ben Hania's pleated skirt look reminiscent of a school uniform also made the worst list.
Oscar season, where the fashion competition is as fierce as the awards themselves. All eyes will be on who succeeds in restoring their reputation on the red carpet a month from now.<
