After a number of delays and changes, the 93rd Academy Awards 2021 have finally kicked off on the evening of Sunday, April 25, 2021. The show is set to begin on ABC at 8 pm and the stars have arrived, dressed to kill. Social distancing measures are in place as all celebrities arriving on the red carpet are all masked up.

They aren't required to sport masks while posing for the paparazzi and while on camera, but their masks would go right back up during the commercial breaks and while they interact with each other off-camera. Despite the new normal and the rules and restrictions that come with it, the stars who have made it to the carpet are stunning in their glamorous looks. Below are the top 10 looks straight from the red carpet that stood out.

Zendaya in her yellow gown

Zendaya's style game has been on after she got Law Roach on board as her stylist. Her Oscar 2021 look was nothing short of a dream. The bright yellow gown looks ethereal on her and the matching mask deserves extra brownie points. Her long flowy hair, which appears to be unkempt, adds to the beauty of the entire look. The torso baring detail deserves a special mention as well, not to forget the little cinch in the middle which also deserves a tiny shoutout. 



 

Margot Robbie and her trendy bangs

Margot Robbie came to the Oscar red carpet looking like a million bucks in her Chanel gown. Her bangs that fell perfectly on her radiant visage have managed a fan following of their own and it started to trend on Twitter as soon as she arrived. "Margot Robbie's Oscar's fringe (or bangs, for our American friends) will clearly cause a lot of ladies to take a post-lockdown salon risk & I just want to wish everyone the very best of luck out there," read a tweet. "MARGOT ROBBIE W BANGS HOLD UP IM HYPERVENTILATING," wrote another fan.



 

Angela Bassett's red hot look

Angela Bassett is the definition of beauty in her red gown with the big bow detail on her back that makes it look like she has wings. The dramatic black smokey eye and her diamond and ruby earrings complete her look very well. "She always understands the assignment," one of the comments read about Bassett's red hot look on the Oscar red or should we say pink carpet. While another fan wrote, "Ate as always beautiful legend."



 

Laverne Cox in all pink glory

Laverne Cox looked twice as beautiful as she arrived at the Oscars dressed in Christian Siriano's fuschia gown that was high on drama. The purple and lilac attire with her flawless makeup and her hairdo helped bring the look together. 



 

Viola Davis in an Alexander McQueen gown

Viola Davis had all eyes on her as she arrived looking as pretty as a picture in a white Alexander McQueen number. She rounded off the look with minimal jewelry and makeup that was as flawless as she is. 



 

Andra Day and her golden gown

Andra Day embodied the saying "dangerous curves ahead" in her golden thigh and torso baring golden gown, reminiscent of the Oscar statue. The Vera Wang gown fit the actor and singer like a glove and the link bracelet on her wrist and her rings stood out and completed the look really well.

Leslie Odom Jr and Nicolette Robinson are a power couple

Odom and Robinson, parents to a 3-year-old daughter and a son born just last month, dressed like a power couple on the Oscar red carpet. Odom Jr wore a golden double-breasted Brioni suit while Robinson went all black with her outfit, which was coupled with her box braids and she was elegance personified.

Amanda Seyfried's dreamy dress

Everyone who was talking about Amanda Seyfriend looking like a dream wasn't exaggerating. She looked angelic with the red tulle dress that she draped beautifully. The Armani Privé dress and the bond girl hairdo coupled with the pop of color on her lip was a very smart choice.
