The 94th Academy Awards are almost upon us and after a scaled-back event last year, they are back to their pre-pandemic glory.

To get us in the mood for what is undoubtedly one of the most fashionable red carpets, this year's nominees came together for the annual Oscars Nominees Luncheon and teased us with some stunning looks ahead of the ceremony on Sunday, March 27.

Held at the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles on Monday, March 7, nominees including Jessica Chastain and Kristen Stewart enjoyed a chance to catch up with one another and get their official nomination certificate – although sadly this year there is no class photo.

So in lieu of a group shot, let's take a look at some of the Oscar nominees – and their impeccable style – below…
