Oscars red carpet fashion: from Alicia Vikander in Louis Vuitton to Jennifer Lawrence in Dior, see this year's best dressed stars

We round up the best looks from the biggest Awards ceremony of the year
Charlie Teather29 February 2016

Not only is The Oscars ceremony host to the most star-studded red carpet of awards season, but it is also the most intensely scrutinised in the style stakes.

With the biggest designers vying to dress attendees, the event never fails to produce a wealth of looks that go down in fashion history.

This year's Oscars saw Jennifer Lawrence take the style crown, dressed in a black lace gown by Dior Couture.

With a sheer-look bodice, the gown's gradual lace tiering was the perfect fusion of gothic drama and delicate elegance.

The Best Actress nominee added to the impact of the look with her grown-out platinum bob which was worn sleek and straight, a stark - and very welcome - contrast to her usual red carpet tousled up-do.

Alicia Vikander was another star who stood out, making an entrance in an eye-catching pastel yellow Louis Vuitton gown.

While the choice of designer was an unsurprising one - Vikander is the spokeswoman and face of the French fashion house - the style was somewhat new to the Best Supporting Actress award winner.

Known for her usual edgier aesthetic - with leather, studs and darker hues a staple of the star's red carpet wardrobe - the pale shade and classic puffball shape were given a more modern feel with the addition of silver sandals and a chunky perspex heel.

Reminiscent of Beauty and the Beast's iconic character Belle, the actress left her long brunette hair pushed back over her shoulders as she allowed the gown to take centre stage.
