The typical arrival vehicle to the Oscar red carpet is a huge black SUV. Boring! We were happy to see flagship sponsor Cadillac roll out new colors and luscious details befitting the red carpet when the new Escalade made its debut.
But what other models are a natural complement to red carpet couture? We’ve paired some of the top Oscar fashions with the cars that flatter their gorgeous looks. In a sea of men in black tuxedoes (with a few exceptions), the women win the style award hands down this year.
Janelle Monae: Genesis GV80
Ms. Monae arrived in one of the first outstanding dresses to grace the red carpet. This stunning Ralph Lauren number worn turned heads right away. Adorned with a draped hood and open back, the gown sparkled with more than 168,000 Swarovski crystals. We think she’s look amazing stepping out of the new Genesis GV80, in silver, of course.

Kaitlyn Dever: Tesla Model S
Ms. Dever, from the movie Booksmart showed that fashion can be sustainable. Her Lous Vuitton dress was made from Tencel, an eco-friendly fiber. Ms. Dever was a well received pop of color. What better car to pair her with than a red Tesla Model S electric sports car.

Billy Porter: Rolls Royce Ghost Zenith
Mr. Porter may not be on a “Best Dressed” list, but you have to respect the royal influence of this look. Said to have been inspired by Kensington Palace, British designer Giles Deacon created the baroque-style skirt and royal bodice. Â We think the Rolls Royce Ghost Zenith is the perfect pairing to this look.
