Black Hollywood style standouts on the Oscars red carpet
TheGrio...
Hollywood’s biggest night always brings the glamour, and this year’s Oscars red carpet delivered unforgettable fashion moments from some of the industry’s biggest stars.
Awards season has been building toward this moment, and we’ve been especially eager to see what the casts of “Sinners” and “One Battle After Another” would bring to the Oscars red carpet. Black nominees from both films have been shining all season long — delivering standout performances on screen and equally memorable fashion moments along the way. With Hollywood’s biggest night finally here, this is the style showcase we’ve been waiting for since the start of awards season.
Nominated in the Supporting Actress category, a nine-months pregnant Mosaku glowed in an emerald sequinned shoulder-baring Saint Laurent gown. We know this isn’t “Bridgerton,” but if there was a diamond of the season in real life, she’d be her.

Mosaku’s “Sinners” co-star Jayme Lawson was also a standout in a cobalt blue beaded halter gown. And the costume designer who outfitted both actresses for the film didn’t shy away from her moment to shine.
Ruth E. Carter is already the most Oscar-nominated Black woman in Academy Awards history, having earned her fifth nomination this year for her work on “Sinners.” She’s previously won Academy Awards for “Black Panther” and “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”
Autumn Durald Arkapaw and the family suited up for the big show. In case you didn’t already know, Arkapaw is up for the Cinematography award for her work on “Sinners.”
“Sinners” writer/director/producer Ryan Coogler and his co-producer wife Zinzi Evans looked like Black excellence personified in their formalwear. Coogler’s white tie was a nice touch.
What’s cooler than being cool? Delroy Lindo, of course. If there were a guidebook on how to dress for awards night when you’re nominated for a vampire film, this would be the photo illustration. Everyone isn’t going to appreciate the glasses, but the blue silk ascot and blue and white pocket squares certainly add a nice touch.
Best Actor nominee Michael B. Jordan went all-black for the night, wearing a mandarin collared blazer and pocket chain.
Golden Globe winner and Best Supporting Actress Oscars contender Teyana Taylor looked absolutely exquisite in a black and white feathery fringed and beaded Chanel gown.
Teyana’s onscreen daughter Chase Infinity, has also been a standout for her sweet style choices all awards season, and this lavender Louis Vuitton look definitely didn’t disappoint.
Academy Awards presenter Zoe Saldaña kept things simple in black satin and lace.
Damson opted for a long topcoat for the evening. He starred alongside Brad Pitt in the Best Picture-nominated race car drama “F1.”
Marsai went with a chocolate Christian Siriano gown that complemented her natural beauty.
Shaboozey wore a Campillo suit, which was sharp on its own, but the accessories really took it up a notch. The pearl drop earrings and neckpin ooze luxury.
