Glitz and glamour ruled the 2019 Oscars red carpet on Sunday, harkening back to the days of Old Hollywood. 

The Academy Awards show, held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, is typically a night for celebrities to forgo major fashion risks and focus on understated elegance ― something Michelle Yeoh and the rest of the “Crazy Rich Asians” cast could teach a master class on. 

Billy Porter kicked off the carpet by reinventing black-tie with his velvet tuxedo dress, designed by Christian Siriano.

Constance Wu looked glamorous in custom Versace, while Awkwafina brought back the pussy bow in a light, pink sparkly suit and matching clutch.
