Stars are ready for their coronation moments.
As the 2026 Actor Awards presented by SAG-AFTRA and 98th Academy Awards approach, Us Weekly expects to see stars going full regal renaissance on the red carpet, with dramatic trains trailing behind gorgeous gowns and opera gloves adding some extra grandeur.
Us predicts there will be silhouettes that elongate, fabrics that flow and accessories that steal the spotlight as the stars gather for some of the most-watched events in Hollywood.
Many of Tinseltown’s most famous celebrities will be in attendance for the Actor Awards, which will be held at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles, to find out who reigns triumphant on March 1. There will be some fierce competition in categories including Outstanding Performance in a Leading Role, Outstanding Performance in a Television Movie or Limited Series, Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture and more.
The Oscars will be held on March 15 at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood and the A-listers will surely be dressed to impress for film’s biggest night honoring excellence in cinematic achievements.
Teyana Taylor, a first-time Best Actress nominee at this year’s Oscars, recently rocked a fierce Burberry trench dress in a deep plum color, which featured a long, cascading train at the 2026 BAFTA Film Awards red carpet held on February 22 in London.
The iconic number came equipped with a cape-like fabric that ruffled around her neck, which she paired with matching Le Silla Eva boots.

“I might not be thinking about a speech, but I am absolutely thinking about a ‘fit. You know what I mean? I will throw a ‘fit on that club,” the One Battle After Another actress, 35, told People ahead of the Academy Awards, vowing, “It’s going to be good, though. It’s going to be good.”
Marty Supreme star Odessa A’zion donned black satin gloves with her outfit at the 2026 Golden Globes, which were held on January 11, adding some sparkle with cocktail rings.
The actress, 25, styled herself for the star-studded event and even finished her makeup in the car, she told Vogue. She opted for a vintage Dolce & Gabbana outfit with a feather off-the-shoulder top and wide-leg trousers. “A big style inspiration always is rock ’n’ roll. Rock stars. Janis Joplin. Jimi Hendrix. Lauryn Hill. Pink Floyd. Weezer. Keith Richards,” A’zion shared with Elle. “I just feel like, wear whatever you feel works on your body that makes you feel good and feel comfortable.”

Fashion expert Melissa Rivers spoke to Us after the 2026 Golden Globes and highlighted a color trend she noticed repeatedly hitting the carpet.
“Black and white and white, black and white,” she quipped. “Black and white, all black, all white, white on top, black on the bottom, white on the bottom, black on top.”
Rivers also told Us she wants one popular fashion fad to end once and for all.
“I need the naked dress to retire,” she said. “We have been seeing a naked dress since the late ‘90s with Zuhair Murad and Roberto Cavalli. And it just keeps going. At least we didn’t have the fear with being able to see people’s underwear, like I never bought into that.”
