Straight-Off-the-Runway Dresses I Want to See at the Oscars

published 8 March 2024

It's been a busy award season here at Who What Wear, but we've finally reached the end-all, be-all—the Oscars. The 96th annual Academy Awards will be held on Sunday, March 10, and I can't wait to see what everyone will wear. In addition to the stellar nominees, there's an excellent list of presenters that includes Zendaya, Anya Taylor-Joy, America Ferrera, Emily Blunt, Jennifer Lawrence, Issa Rae, and Michelle Yeoh, just to name a few.

The end of fashion month coincides perfectly with the Oscars. Over the last four weeks, we've witnessed look after look come down the runway, each one deserving of its own red carpet moment. Scroll down to see my top seven predictions for fresh-off-the-runway dresses I hope to see at this year's Oscars.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern in 2011—back when the site only published a single story per day. (We have since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports. She frequently contributes to WWW's social accounts and has a sizable following on her personal TikTok.
