The Oscars red carpet never fails to disappoint fans looking to indulge in this season's most coveted — and expensive — designs in fashion.

As as the most important awards ceremony and red carpet in the world, the Academy Awards is always filled with decadent couture designs and glamorous high fashion looks. From Chanel to Gucci and Valentino to Versace, many celebrities hit the carpet this year ready to fight for the title of best dressed, while others fell short.

The "Mank" actress and first-time Oscar nominee channelled old-Hollywood glamour in a cherry-coloured gown with plunging neckline.

WORST: Halle Berry in Dolce & Gabbana

The 2002 Best Actress Oscar winner made a rare fashion misstep in her strapless orchid-coloured gown and unkempt hairdo.

BEST: Regina King in Louis Vuitton

Regina King proved why she's a red carpet favourite with this art-deco inspired gown with bold shoulder detail.

WORST: Laura Dern in Oscar de la Renta

Dern may have been an Oscar-winner in 2020 for her role in "A Marriage Story" but her feather duster gown was a red carpet loser.

BEST: Carey Mulligan in Valentino

Mulligan was manifesting a potential Oscar win with her stunning gold Valentino two-piece.

WORST: Viola Davis in Alexander McQueen

Despite hitting all the fashion high notes during this year's award's season, we're sad to say this McQueen gown was a low moment for Davis.

BEST: Angela Bassett in Alberta Ferretti

Bassett looked like a gift from the fashion gods in her bold Alberta Ferretti gown.

WORST: Glenn Close in Armani Privé

Although Close's gloves are practical during COVID-times, this tunic and pantsuit look should have been left in lockdown.

BEST: Maria Bakalova in Louis Vuitton

The "Borat" star and Best Supporting Actress nominee looked picture-perfect in a custom gown by Louis Vuitton.

WORST: Vanessa Kirby in Gucci

A pale pink column gown has been done time and time again on the Oscar red carpet - making Kirby's iteration a disappointing moment on a long-awaited red carpet.
