At the 2026 Academy Awards, fashion wasn’t just a solo statement; it was also a conversation between partners. On this year’s red carpet, some duos leaned into sharp coordination, while others deliberately clashed textures and tones for contrast.

Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas, Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner and more couples modeled stylish looks at the Oscars red carpet in Los Angeles on Sunday. Here, WWD rounds up some of the best couple moments from the event.

Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams

Paul Mescal, who is nominated for best actor in a leading role for “Hamnet,” posed with his partner Gracie Abrams, both wearing black for the occasion. Mescal went with a Celine suit featuring a collarless jacket with small buttons, perhaps a nod to his Shakespeare-inspired film. Abrams, meanwhile, repped Chanel with a sequined two-piece look, including a column skirt, a fitted top, and a long sheer scarf.

Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner

“Marty Supreme” star Timothée Chalamet, nominated for best actor in a leading role, wore an all-white Givenchy by Sarah Burton double-breasted suit. Proving how white complements a variety of colors, his partner, Kylie Jenner, dressed up in a sparkling red sequined Schiaparelli dress with a deep scoop neck and a keyhole cut out below the bust. The garment had a bodycon fit.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas

Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas were another couple modeling a coordinated color scheme, going with classic black and white. Chopra Jonas opted for a strapless white dress with ruching at the waist and feathery trim at the skirt, which was dotted with black. The flowing skirt trailed on the carpet and featured a high slit, revealing her classic black pumps. Jonas, meanwhile, opted for a black double-breasted tuxedo and black velvet loafers.

Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons

Kirsten Dunst accompanied her husband Jesse Plemons to the Oscars, who is featured in the best picture-nominated film “Bugonia.” Dunst modeled a black strapless dress from Celine with a slight avant-garde flair, achieved through layered fabric. Complementing Dunst, Plemons went with a black velvet suit with a baby blue button-down.

Stellan Skarsgård and Megan Everett-Skarsgård

Stellan Skarsgård, nominated for best actor in a supporting role for “Sentimental Value,” had a red carpet moment with his wife, Megan Everett-Skarsgård. Another couple in coordinated black looks, Everett-Skarsgård wore a simple dress with sheer sleeves, while the nominee kept it classic with a tuxedo, opting for a blazer with satin notch lapels. An Omega watch went with his suit.

Usher and Jennifer Goicoechea

Usher and wife Jennifer Goicoechea made the Oscars into date night as well, with Goicoechea wearing a dramatic black halter neck gown with a deep V-neck and a mermaid skirt flowing into a long train. Usher, meanwhile, showcased a white double-breasted suit jacket with black pants.

The 2026 Academy Awards honor the best films of 2025, from “One Battle After Another” to “Hamnet” and more. Hosted by Conan O’Brien, who returns for a second consecutive year as master of ceremonies, the awards show takes place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. “Sinners” leads the night’s nominations, with a record-setting 16 nods, including Best Picture.
