How French Brands Took Over the Oscars 2026 When French Elegance Rules Hollywood
Jessie Buckley Crowned Best Actress in Chanel
After a stunning performance in Hamnet by Chloé Zhao alongside Paul Mescal, Jessie Buckley walked away with the top prize for an actress. Her male counterpart? Michael B. Jordan, noted for his role in Sinners. For her look, Jessie opted for a winning color combination: red and pink, with bare shoulders and a subtle drape that highlights her silhouette. She showcased her natural hair color, a luminous blonde that contrasted beautifully with her outfit. A flawless choice for one of the evening’s queens. On the designer side, Matthieu Blazy continues to amaze. Since taking over Chanel at the end of 2024, the designer has delivered one success after another. Jessie Buckley perfectly embodies this aesthetic-elegant and utterly irresistible.
The Fashion Queen in Dior by Jonathan Anderson
The Oscars are not just an awards ceremony; they are a full-scale runway where every crease is scrutinized, every seam dissected, and every accessory examined. Last night, Anna Wintour, true to her legendary glasses, reminded everyone why she remains the queen of fashion. For the occasion, she wore a Dior look by Jonathan Anderson, featuring a long dress and a lace blazer. After the famous photocall, the former US Vogue editor joined Anne Hathaway on stage for a hilarious sequence directly referencing The Devil Wears Prada (the second installment releases in France at the end of April).
Timothée Chalamet, Empty-Handed but Chic
The long-awaited triumph of Marty Supreme did not happen. Timothée Chalamet will have to wait: Ryan Coogler’s Sinners (4 awards) and Paul Thomas Anderson’s Bataille After Another (6 awards, including Best Director) swept most of the trophies. On the red carpet, he shared playful moments with his “companion”-as he calls her-Kylie Jenner. For the occasion, Timothée chose a head-to-toe white look from Givenchy by Sarah Burton. His co-star in Little Women, Elle Fanning, did not miss the chance to shine as well, wearing an airy yet sculptural meringue-inspired Givenchy gown.
Kirsten Dunst Bets on Céline’s Impeccable Simplicity
As Sofia Coppola’s exhibition on Marie Antoinette at the Château de Versailles opens in September to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the film, Kirsten Dunst made a splash on the red carpet. Coppola’s muse and a Hollywood chic icon, she opted for a tiered black strapless gown by Celine. Square bustier, subtle body-hugging ruffles: a geometric and sculptural look that plays on simplicity and sophistication.
Jeremy Pope of The Beauty in Ami Paris
Ryan Murphy continues to dominate Hollywood with The Beauty and Love Story. Jeremy Pope, a rising star, confirms his status as a style icon. On the red carpet, he chose Ami Paris. The actor, a true cover boy, has impeccable style, playing with the classic codes of French elegance. Once again, the Oscars prove that style isn’t reserved for actresses: men know how to leave a lasting impression too.
