I'm convinced that Michael B. Jordan could've shown up to the Oscars in a bin bag and still looked like one of the most handsome men alive. 

The Creed III actor rocked a custom Louis Vuitton black ensemble suit for Sunday's celebration. 

2. Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga slayed both the stage and the 'champagne' coloured carpet at the 2023 Oscars! 

As if being a last-minute performer wasn't impressive enough, Gaga also delivered a major fashion moment in a stunning Donatella Versace gown straight off the runway.

The "Born This Way" singer opted for a black number that featured a sheer, panelled bodice up top and a skirt with a dropped waistline - a look that only Gaga could pull off with such effortless grace. 

But she didn't just bring the fashion - she also brought some kindness to the proceedings. When a photographer took a tumble, Gaga rushed to help him up, proving once again that she's not only a fashion icon, but also a true class act.

3. Florence Pugh

Don't worry darlings, we would not forget Ms. Florence Pugh on this list. 

Accompanied by platform shoes, a striking silver necklace, and a two-tone hair design, the 27-year-old actress opted for a statement gown with ruffles, paired with black shorts.

4. Paul Mescal

Paul Mescal was a chic hit as he strutted his stuff at the 95th Annual Academy Awards in Hollywood.

The Irish actor, who was nominated for Best Actor, looked dashing in a white tuxedo jacket and a red rose on his lapel. 

His wide-leg black trousers were the perfect complement to his sharp and stylish outfit. Completing the look with a crisp white shirt, a big bow tie, and some patent loafers, Paul was the epitome of elegance and sophistication. 

5. Rihanna
