Oscars 2021: Red carpet arrivals at the 93rd Academy Awards
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, stars haven't had much of a chance to show off their red carpet fashions.
After a year of casual Zoom award show ensembles and the delay of the 2021 Oscars ceremony by eight weeks, the 93rd Academy Awards show producers wanted celebs to step it up.
Organizers sent a letter to nominees with a dress code suggestion that read:
"We're aiming for a fusion of inspirational and aspirational, which in actual words means formal is totally cool if you want to go there, but casual is really not."
The celebrities delivered.
