Among the most notable looks? Ariana Grande in a custom Schiaparelli gown that resembles a sparkly pink waterfall (or maybe an umbrella), Elle Fanning in a retro gown that drew comparisons to Grace Kelly, and Demi Moore in custom Armani Privé.

Arrivals are underway for the 97th Academy Awards, and The Times' photo team is out in force on the red carpet, capturing all the best looks as stars make their way into the Dolby Theatre for the ceremony.

Mikey Madison, Demi Moore, Timothée Chalamet, Danielle Deadwyler, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are among A-listers with red carpet wow momentum heading into the Oscars. The 97th Oscars come less than two months after the devastating Los Angeles fires subdued carpet dressing for a time.
