Nicole Kidman
Looking ethereal in champange-pink feathers, Nicole Kidman is wearing Chanel for the 2026 Oscars.
Prior to the ceremony, the Scarpetta actress confirmed her daughters Sunday and Faith wouldn’t be in attendance.
“They’re on spring break, but we’ll all be sort of just tucking ourselves in, go home, have a bath and go to bed,” she confessed to Variety. “I may go out to a party or two…I should go out.”
Rose Byrne
Rose Byrne has graced the red carpet in a beautiful black mermaid dress, with delicate floral embellishments. By her side on the red carpet was husband and fellow actor, Bobby Cannavale.
