Though the pandemic rages on, the Oscar 2021 dream-team made the decision to host a small bricks and mortar ceremony, signalling that vaccines are slowly returning us to some sort of normal, perhaps inspiring a bigger return to glam … Fingers crossed! ;)!

To that end, several of the most memorable red carpet moments were literally dipped in gold. For your enjoyment, our top three:  

LESLIE ODOM JR. IN BRIONI

ANDRA DAY IN CUSTOM VERA WANG

CAREY MULLIGAN IN VALENTINO
