All Irish eyes may have been on best actress winner Jessie Buckley at the 98th Academy Awards, but actors Kerry Condon and Paul Mescal were there to keep her company.

Mescal attended the carpet alongside girlfriend Gracie Abrams, daughter of film-maker JJ Abrams and CEO Katie McGrath.

As well as that, Maggie O’Farrell stunned in a vibrant fuschia gúna and Nick Jonas joined wife Priyanka Chopra fresh off his trip to Dublin a few weeks ago.

Pink seemed to be the colour of this season, with many celebs sporting different shades, alongside the typical cream choice.

Marty Supreme star Timothée Chalamet was seated front and centre during the ceremony with girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, but the pair didn’t appear to walk the red carpet together.

Here are some of the red carpet highlights from the 2026 Oscars.

Buckley wore a bespoke Chanel blood red satin backed leather and rose pink chiffon off-shoulder gown.

Mescal wore a Celine black cashmere cardigan instead of a tuxedo and a soft knotted neck ribbon instead of a tie: a mellow, poetic, Bard-adjacent version of black tie.
