Irina Shayk

The top model, boyfriend Bradley Cooper, and his mom Gloria Campano may have shut down the Oscars red carpet (Shayk donned a custom Burberry look), but by the looks of Irina's Insta, the real runway was at her hotel suite. Before leaving for the ceremony, she showed off her short sleek bob and the open back of her black dramatic gown. Also, we think we spy Cooper in the left corner of the video. The couples that get glam together, stay together.

The Can You Ever Forgive Me? actress began Oscars morning with a good start: breakfast from Richard E. Grant.

The Game of Thrones star revealed that she ditched her Khaleesi-blonde hair for her natural brunette locks with a sweet selfie in the car en route to the Academy Awards.

"Blondes have more fun eh?! Well I will see about that this fine #oscar2019 evening..... let the good times roll," she wrote in the caption. Clarke also shared a post with her glam squad for the night.

Spike Lee

Is Spike Lee the flyest Oscar winner on this Instagram roundup? Without a shadow of a doubt, yes. The Oscar-nominated BlacKkKlansman director paid tribute to Prince with an all-violet look. He Instagrammed a photo of the late musician's iconic emblem and wrote, "I Know In My Hearts Of 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜’s My Brother Prince Is Watching Tonight,Singin’ “IT’S GONNA BE A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT.’"

Carter before the ceremony about bringing Wakanda to life on the big screen.

Melissa McCarthy and Brian Tyree Henry

When the duo hit the stage to present the award for Best Costume, they hilariously parodied the iconic looks from all of the nominated movies–Black Panther, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, The Favourite, Mary Poppins Returns, and Mary Queen of Scots.

Allison Janney

The floor-to-ceiling windows in Janney’s Loews Hotel suite added the perfect amount of natural light to show off her custom Pamela Roland dress and jewels by Chopard. She previously won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 2018.

Jennifer Lopez

One-half of J.Lo’s styling duo Rob and Mariel shared a ‘gram of the superstar posted up in a sparkling strapless dress by Zuhair Murad.

Constance Wu

The Crazy Rich Asians star looked stunning in a sunshine yellow custom Versace gown.

The Black Panther actress looked like a queen in a gold strapless gown from CFDA Fashion Fund winners Brock Collection and earrings from Leighton Jewels.

Beyond sharing two selfies with Jason Momoa, she also took pics with Gary Oldman, and her style twin Sarah Paulson, who wore a killer Brandon Maxwell gown from his recent runway collection.

Angela Bassett

Angela Bassett and her Black Panther family showed plenty of love to civil rights leader and U.S. Representative John Lewis. Lewis' appearance at the show received a standing ovation from the crowd.

James McAvoy

McAvoy shared a bathroom mirror pic that gave us MySpace flashbacks, except his selfie was way cooler than our middle school snaps because a few celebrities autographed his white button-up shirt with a red sharpie. Weird flex, but we'll allow it.
