Beautiful Bridal Inspiration from the Oscars Red Carpet

There was double the reason to celebrate after the Academy Awards 2026. Not only did our very own Jessie Buckley make history as the first Irish woman to win the Best Actress award but so many breathtaking bridal looks graced the red carpet. 2026 and 2027 brides take notes, the stars served up inspiration for all kinds of wedding-related events.

Pared-back glamour was one of the biggest trends with Love Story star Sarah Pidgeon offering a sparkling tribute to Carolyn Bessette Kennedy while Bella Hadid turned heads for all the right reasons with her Prada co-ord complete with an uber-trendy neck scarf. Elsewhere celebs offered a fresh take on historical dressing, from Mckenna Grace’s basque waist ballgown to Emma Stone’s empire line dress with a Studio 54 update. Embellished dresses reigned supreme giving brides ample after-party style inspiration, think glimmering pearls, subtle sequins, fabulous feathers, and high-shine glitter.

Whether you’re a boho bride or you’re dreaming of an enchanting ethereal vibe, or maybe you want to embrace colour or rock something super sleek, there is something for everyone to swoon over below!
