From virtual red carpets to the return of in-person ceremonies at the Oscars, take a look at all the must-see fashion and beauty moments from the 2021 awards season.

The Academy may give the award to the best&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/famous-actors-never-won-oscars-biggest-snubs" rel="noopener" target="_blank">actor</a>, director, and picture of the year&mdash;but we&#39;re about to give out the best dressed, of the whole awards season. Since its inception nearly a century ago, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/inside-2021-oscars-gift-bag-cost" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Oscars</a>&nbsp;have been&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/where-do-oscar-winners-keep-awards" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Hollywood&#39;s</a>&nbsp;most celebrated night out. Unlike many ceremonies over the past year, which accepted the reality of virtual life in 2020, this year&#39;s Academy Awards featured&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/every-look-2021-oscars-red-carpet-academy-awards" rel="noopener" target="_blank">a real life red carpet</a>, and celebrities that took the opportunity to pull out all the stops. But that doesn&#39;t mean that celebrities didn&#39;t serve looks at the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/best-dressed-celebs-at-the-2021-golden-globe-awards" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Golden Globes</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/2021-critics-choice-awards-best-fashion-moments" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Critics Choice Awards</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/outrageous-fashion-grammys-red-carpet" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Grammys</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/best-looks-sag-awards-2021-red-carpet" rel="noopener" target="_blank">SAG Awards</a>,&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/best-dressed-celebrities-bafta-2021-winners" rel="noopener" target="_blank">BAFTAs</a>, too. From show stopping jewels to gowns that look like they belong in a museum, the 2021 nominees, presenters, and attendees at this year&#39;s awards shows brought all of the glitz and glamour we tune in for.&nbsp;

These celebrities not only set the stage for the ceremonies, but also reflected and anticipated many upcoming fashion trends, including a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/gold-jewelry-trend-louis-vuitton-cartier" rel="noopener" target="_blank">gold rush</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/round-cutouts-trend-sexy-fashion" rel="noopener" target="_blank">cutout</a>&nbsp;designs, and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/maximalism-fashion-trend-covid-19-gucci-valentino" rel="noopener" target="_blank">maximalist</a>&nbsp;dressing (after a year of nothing but sweatpants, a turn to the glamorous is to be expected).&nbsp;

As each of the awards shows separate stellar honors are put into their own categories, so let&#39;s break down our own sartorial standouts by group.
