With her neat tweed pencil skirt, boxy blazer and buttoned up white shirt, Billie Eilish is leaning heavily into the corpcore trend. Her workwear look is head-to-toe Chanel. Although the socks look a little messy we bet some stylist carefully debated just how many un-neat rolls to give them.
Eilish’s brooch is from Artists4Ceasefire – a collective of musicians and actors who have signed an open letter urging President Biden to call for a cease-fire. Other signatories include Cate Blanchett, Bradley Cooper and America Ferrera. “The pin symbolizes collective support for an immediate and permanent cease-fire, the release of all of the hostages and for the urgent delivery of humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza,” the collective said in a press release.

Andrea Riseborough
Part tartan, part Piet Mondrian Broadway Boogie Woogie, Andrea Riseborough should be applauded for a dress that brings a bit of fashion experimentation to the red carpet glamour. The fact that she is also carrying the kind of handbag that women who don’t spend time on the red carpet would recognise only makes it all the more appealing.

Circular red pin badges have been a recurring sight on the red carpet this evening. Those pins are in support of a ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza war and have been provided by activist group Artists4Ceasefire. Earlier this week 400 people working in the entertainment industry, including Bradley Cooper, Ava DuVernay and Andrew Garfield, signed an open letter by the group calling for an “immediate de-escalation and ceasefire in Gaza and Israel”.

Wim Wenders is a fashion favourite – here he’s wearing a very directional outfit he wore on the catwalk for Yohji Yamamoto’s fashion show in January. On the red carpet with Koji Yakasuko, the star of his film Perfect Days in a chic black suit, the duo show all of the options of what men can wear on the red carpet.

With subtly bootleg trousers and a bow tie with added brooch, Colman Domingo is here to show that menswear on the red carpet does not even need to be remotely boring. His pitch perfect retro chic is classy and worth taking notice of without being even slightly OTT. Top marks.

On ITV, Ross King is interviewing the director of Society of the Snow. “For those who haven’t seen it, it’s set in the snow,” Ross King says by way of introduction. We don’t think Ross King has seen Society of the Snow

Diane Warren, eternal Oscar best song nominee and eternal Oscar best song loser, is here. She’ll be performing her song A Fire Inside from the film Flamin’ Hot, about – and I’m not making this up, honest – the creation of the Flamin’ Hot Cheeto crisp. So naturally she’s come as … a Flamin’ Hot Cheeto crisp

Hi Ken! Simu Lee is wearing a blazer and kicked flare trousers from Fendi. He’s added a bit of pizzazz with a sparkly brooch and block heeled patent shoes. Are we going to see him dance alongside Stereotypical Ken AKA Ryan Gosling as he performs I’m Just Ken on stage later? Watch this space.

The black tux on the red carpet is a classic for men – and Kingsley Ben-Adir shows why. Combined with what look like nice shiny Gucci loafers, and a slightly self-conscious grin, he wears it well.

Over on ABC, the glumly determined red carpet host is finally speaking to Anatomy of a Fall director Justine Triet, after an awkward moment a few minutes earlier where he was brutally shut down by her publicist. He’s wasting no time in asking the big, probing questions, such as “what’s it like to have a dog on set?”

Another LBD … this time it’s Issa Rae, who stars in three Oscar-nominated films including Barbie, American Fiction and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. The major leg-split of her AMI gown is giving some serious Angelina Jolie 2012 vibes.
Another director – this time Celine Song, of Past Lives – who is showing that it’s not always the actor talent that brings the fashion. Her kilt and blazer, with white shirt and sensible shoes, is not the usual red carpet outfit, and that makes it all the better.
