The 2026 award season red carpet introduced several fashion and beauty trends to inspire our closets and cabinets, including the under-$10 products that stars like Olandria Carthen and Sarah Pidgeon used to get ready, as well as the return of the ’90s slip dress. And Popsugar’s Award Season After Party in partnership with Affinity Nightlife on March 15 at Hollywood’s Mondrian Hotel was no different.
After the Oscars, attendees packed the hotel’s Skybar to bid farewell to the award show circuit (at least until the Emmys), with notable stars taking the opportunity to show off their sartorial best. All-black ensembles were prevalent on the red carpet, with Popsugar editor-in-chief Kelsey Castañon sporting a sculptural, organza bodysuit and high-waisted, wrap pants from Andrea Iyamah. Meanwhile, “Love Island” alum Andreina Santos paired her blush-heavy glam with a black maxi dress with a plunging neckline. Her co-star, Jeremiah Brown, embraced the same color palette but added a dose of edge, choosing easy black separates paired with a faded leather jacket. Other stars like “Love Story” actor Noah Fearnley took the black-and-white trend for a spin in a classic formal tuxedo.
Ahead, see who was best dressed in the room and shop a few pieces to get inspo for your next night out.
