Sparkles have long been a hallmark of awards season, nothing says elevated formalwear like a dash of sequins.

This year’s Oscars is no different, with celebrities clamouring to wear sequins in all colours of the rainbow.

From the exuberant to the understated, this is how sparkles made their way onto the Academy Awards red carpet.

This is swiftly becoming a favourite silhouette of Zendaya’s: a high-waisted skirt and a super crop top, to show off an ample amount of abs.
