Demi Moore (63) and Teyana Taylor (35) Make a Statement in Feather Dresses at 2026 Oscars
Awards season is famously synonymous with high-stakes glamour, but this year’s 98th Academy Awards brought a particularly whimsical trend to the red carpet: an abundance of feathers.
The ceremony saw several stars embracing this avian-inspired aesthetic, transforming the arrival at the Dolby Theatre into a literal migration of style. Among the standout participants were Demi Moore and Teyana Taylor, both of whom utilized plumage to elevate their already striking looks.

Demi Moore, a red-carpet favorite who continues to captivate audiences with her fearless fashion choices, made a formidable entrance in a custom emerald-and-black gradient gown by Gucci.
The dramatic piece featured intricate scale-like detailing throughout the form-fitting skirt, which transitioned into an array of feathers that appeared to shoot upward at the bodice before cascading downward into a sweeping train.
The 63-year-old actress kept her hair sleek and parted down the middle, pairing the high-octane ensemble with elegant Boucheron jewelry and a soft, romantic makeup palette that grounded the intensity of the outfit.

Teyana Taylor, meanwhile, brought a different kind of drama to the evening, arriving in a figure-hugging Chanel creation that showcased her signature bold style. Her black-and-white gown utilized a sheer bodice embellished with pearls and crystals to highlight her toned physique, while layers of monochromatic feathers cascaded down a mermaid-style skirt.
The singer-actress, who was a contender for Best Supporting Actress this year, accessorized the look with more than 18 carats of Tiffany & Co. diamonds, ensuring she sparkled from every angle.

Demi Moore has remained a central figure in Hollywood following the massive success of her 2024 body-horror film The Substance, which earned her significant critical acclaim, including a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination.
Moore is currently preparing for the May theatrical release of her next project, I Love Boosters, a highly anticipated sci-fi film directed by Boots Riley. The upcoming movie, which also stars Naomi Ackie, Taylour Paige, and Keke Palmer, follows a crew of shoplifters who target a luxury fashion CEO, promising the same surreal, social-commentary-heavy style that defined Riley’s debut, Sorry to Bother You.
