And the stars responded by bringing an ethereal lightness to their frocks, many of them in white, cream or silver.</p><p>Michelle Yeoh, the star of frontrunner &quot;Everything Everywhere All at Once,&quot; wowed in a floating white sleeveless Dior gown, her long hair flowing in loose curls -- a look seen all over the carpet -- and topped with a bejeweled headband.</p><p>&quot;This was the perfect opportunity to show that moms are superheroes,&quot; Yeoh told ABC of her film.</p><p>Jamie Lee Curtis, nominated for best supporting actress for her work alongside Yeoh, rocked a sleek glittering long-sleeved off-white column gown from Dolce &amp; Gabbana, perfectly setting off her cropped white hair.</p><p>Presenter Florence Pugh, who has been shutting down red carpets for months with quirk and swagger, pushed the sartorial envelope in a Valentino gown that was all voluminous creamy taffeta on top -- and then slit extra high to reveal a black miniskirt.</p><p>And Nobel peace laureate Malala Yousafzai, the executive producer of Oscar-nominated documentary short &quot;Stranger at the Gate,&quot; wore a sequined silver hooded Ralph Lauren gown that was ruched at the waist.</p><div><strong>- Candy-colored glam -</strong></div><p>Pink, purple, yellow -- Curtis&#x27; fellow nominees in the best supporting actress category brought a rainbow of hues to the Academy Awards.</p><p>Angela Bassett, whose turn as Queen Ramonda in &quot;Black Panther: Wakanda Forever&quot; could make her the first actor in a Marvel film to win an Oscar, slayed in an amethyst Moschino gown with a bow neckline, a train... and lots of diamonds.</p><p>She paid tribute on the red carpet to nominated costume designer Ruth Carter, saying she felt &quot;that sense of royalty spring up,&quot; telling ABC: &quot;And it really helped to get me there in terms of the performance.&quot;</p><p>Hong Chau, who earned a nod for her work opposite Brendan Fraser in &quot;The Whale,&quot; oozed sophistication in a cotton candy pink sleeveless Prada gown, with a Mandarin collar and an unusual fringed black train.</p><p>&quot;Everything Everywhere All at Once&quot; star Stephanie Hsu floated down the carpet at the Dolby Theatre in a strapless bubble gum pink Valentino number with a full ball skirt, her hair cascading down in soft waves. </p><p>And Irish actress Kerry Condon, who shared the big screen with Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson in &quot;The Banshees of Inisherin,&quot; donned a lemon yellow one-shoulder Versace gown -- and another train, a definite Oscars trend.</p><div><strong>- Let&#x27;s hear it for the boys -</strong></div><p>For years, the men of Hollywood were a bit of an afterthought on red carpets -- tuxedo, rinse, repeat. But no longer.</p><p>&quot;Everything Everywhere&quot; star Harry Shum Jr embraced his Asian heritage with a white dinner jacket with midnight piping and coordinated belted sash. And for his &quot;Glee&quot; fans, he danced a bit on the red carpet. </p><p>And &quot;Elvis&quot; star Austin Butler wore a Saint Laurent tuxedo fit for a king -- though definitely a bit more traditional than his other awards season looks. </p>

The Oscars is the pinnacle of Hollywood's awards season, and thus the A-listers in attendance typically save their best looks for last. On Sunday, the stars did not disappoint.
