All the vintage looks from the Oscars 2024

At the 2024 Oscars, Emma Stone took home the most coveted statuette for Best Actress for her portrayal of Bella Baxter in Poor Things, donning a peplum dress by Louis Vuitton. Meanwhile, Cillian Murphy received the Best Actor award for Oppenheimer in a custom Versace tuxedo. Talented, beautiful, elegant, and very emotional, the two were not the only ones shining for their style. The 96th edition of the Academy Awards took us back in time. For one night, we relived the glam of Old Hollywood with sparkles, pleats, mermaid silhouettes, nude makeup, pink lipstick, and natural hair, confirming celebrities' love for classic models and colors. From Margot Robbie in Versace to Kirsten Dunst in Gucci, black and white dominated the red carpet, while Carey Mulligan stole the spotlight as the chicest diva of the evening.

The actress showcased a custom dress by Cristóbal Balenciaga, recreated from the winter 1951 collection, the year Felicia Montealegre, nominated for Best Actress for her role in Maestro, married Leonard Bernstein. "I believe it's my favorite dress among those I've ever worn. It's an incredible silhouette, so classic yet modern at the same time," said Mulligan, speaking of the strapless, cinched-waist gown with a dramatic white tulle train. On the advice of her stylist, Andrew Mukamal, she paired the refined creation with black opera gloves, a simple blonde bob, and subtly pink-toned makeup.

Vintage inspiration also for Anya Taylor-Joy. The star turned to Maria Grazia Chiuri, who drew inspiration from Christian Dior's Haute Couture Fall-Winter 1949 collection. Specifically, the actress wore a model with a snug bustier and gray petals embroidered on the voluminous skirt, reminiscent of the Venus Dress, previously chosen by Natalie at the Cannes Film Festival in 2023. As for the beauty look, Anya opted for a watermelon-colored lipstick, matching blush, long lashes, and long blonde hair left loose with a center part tucked behind the ears.

The vintage vibes also captivated Sandra Hüller and Laverne Cox. The Zone of Interest actress, on the advice of stylist Jordan Johnson Chung, wore an hourglass-shaped black velvet dress with an off-the-shoulder neckline designed by Daniel Roseberry for Schiaparelli. The design paid homage to the one created in 1947 by Hollywood costume designer Gilbert Adrian for Millicent Rogers. Laverne Cox, on the other hand, chose a Thierry Mugler from the Fall-Winter 1986 collection.

The vintage trend triumphed even at the after-party organized by Vanity Fair. Margot Robbie swapped her Versace for a bustier dress with a golden embroidered corset by Les Colonnes, from the Spring-Summer 1996 Mugler collection. Jennifer Lawrence chose a romantic vintage white lace gown from Givenchy Couture Fall-Winter 1996, originally worn by Kate Moss on the runway, over the no-pants look of the Barbie star. Cardi B trusted Maison Versace, wearing a bead creation from the Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2003 collection. Zooey Deschanel went for a Patou model created by the brand's creative director, Guillaume Henry, reminiscent of a Jean Patou archive dress from 1967. Lastly, Sydney Sweeney opted for the same dress Angelina Jolie wore at the 2004 Academy Awards, a Marc Bower creation inspired by Marilyn Monroe's iconic white dress.
