It’s almost time for the 2026 Oscars ceremony to come to a close.
The event, hosted by Conan O’Brien on March 15, is sure to celebrate the best that cinema has to offer, but if past red carpet looks are any indication, it will also herald some equally noteworthy fashion moments.
Take, for example, Ariana Grande’s Glinda-inspired blush pink Schiaparelli dress at the 2025 awards ceremony. She was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for Wicked. The attention-grabbing number featured a fitted bodice and exaggerated peplum skirt, but its most striking feature was the 190,000 crystals embedded in the dress.
And the Grammy winner continued to treat fashion lovers around the world with not just one, but two dazzling looks. After all, Ariana, 32, made short-notice changes for her performances of “Over the Rainbow” and “Defying Gravity” with co-star Cynthia Erivo. The “We Can’t Be Friends” hitmaker Schiaparelli also paid further homage to the Jon M. Chu movie with a ruby red dress featuring 150,000 beads, sequins and Swarovski crystals.
At the time, Ariana sent flowers to designer Daniel Rosebery.
