Celebrities in Armani Privé at the 2026 Oscars

The house of Armani dressed three celebrities in Armani Privé for the 2026 Oscars.

Hudson In Her Armani Privé Era

Kate Hudson and Armani Privé feel like a partnership that should have happened long before now. Why this union did not materialise during her Song Sung Blue press tour remains a mystery, because it would have saved us all a lot of heartache. Following on from her striking Golden Globes moment, Kate dazzled once again in a custom bustier gown with a plunging sweetheart neckline and sculpted peplum waist. The jade green gown, richly embroidered with stones and crystals from the Spring 2026 palette, delivered exactly the kind of glamour that both she and Armani do best.

Minimal With A Surprising Twist

I know some of you are probably nodding off upon seeing Gwyneth Paltrow in this custom Armani Privé ivory silk strapless gown. But there is more going on here than this front-facing image suggests.

The gown features dramatic cut-out sides that reveal flesh-toned tulle trousers, crafted so precisely that from the side it almost appears as though she is wearing nothing beneath the gown. It is a clever illusion and a reminder that what first reads as minimal can still contain a surprising design detail. Does that change your mind about the dress, for better or worse?

Christian Louboutin pumps and Tiffany & Co. jewels completed her look.

Armani Codes Intact

If Kerry Condon were not part of this roundup, you could probably guess she was wearing an Armani Privé gown based on the deep V-neckline and fully embroidered bustier alone. The house has returned to this formula many times because it works.

What the first image does not immediately reveal is how the structure of the bustier extends into tuxedo-style tails at the back, adding an unexpected flourish to what initially appears to be a classic black evening gown. It is a subtle twist that keeps the look aligned with the house’s signature codes while still offering something new.
