CNN — The stars are arriving at Dolby Theatre for Hollywood’s biggest night: the Oscars. As well as celebrating the year in movies, the annual extravaganza has long been the red carpet event of the year.

Sunday evening also marks the culmination of a months-long awards season that has seen plenty of florals, cut-outs, sequins and sheer gowns. (And it’s not just Margot Robbie who’s contributed pops of “Barbie”-worthy pink.) But attendees — or perhaps the designers and stylists who dress them — may have been saving their best for last.

The 96th Academy Awards’ categories are filled with stars who have produced moments of red carpet magic in recent months, from Colman Domingo and America Ferrera to Best Song nominee Billie Eilish. So too is the list of presenters and performers, which include Bad Bunny and Zendaya, among many others.

Scroll down to see the best looks so far. This gallery will be updated throughout the evening.
