At the 2026 Oscars, the tuxedo remains central—but it sheds its rigidity. Silhouettes are softer and more relaxed: wider trousers, less structured jackets, and styling that often skips the tie altogether. Prada, Celine and Dior both point toward a more effortless kind of elegance, where comfort becomes part of luxury.

At the same time, formalwear turns more sensorial. Velvet, satin, and silk—along with sheer layers and jewelry—introduce a new visual intensity. Saint Laurent pushes this direction further, embracing a sharper, more fashion-forward attitude. The result is a new balance: fluid tailoring paired with a richer, more expressive surface.
