How Chase Infiniti Is Preparing for Oscars 2026
The countdown to the 2026 Oscars is officially on.
After all, celebs have been making their way to a myriad of pre-award show festivities in the days leading up to the March 15 ceremony. And it’s safe to say they’re not afraid to bust out their best looks before film’s biggest night.
Case in point: Teyana Taylor slipped into a sculptural Schiaparelli number for the TIME Women of the Year Gala in Los Angeles Mar. 10. On top, the figure-hugging dress featured a chocolate brown bustier while the bottom spotlighted a black fit-and-flare skirt with a can’t-miss bedazzled element.
Previously, Teyana—who is nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the 2026 Oscars—shared how she knows she scored a winning look.
“I mean, Harlem is a whole runway now, you know what I’m saying, especially in my era coming up,” she explained in a 2023 TikTok video during Paris Fashion week. “Harlem has always been a runway for me.”
And as for what pieces tend to catch her eye? Well, that’s a process only Teyana will understand. As she put it, “I think fashion is an expression, you know? I see it, I like it, I put it on.”
Inside the event, the Straw actress—mom to Junie, 10, and Rue, 5, with ex Iman Shumpert—could be seen snapping selfies with Sheryl Lee Ralph, who donned a sculpted number of her own in a bright red dress by Gaurav Gupta.
Meanwhile, reality TV stars Ariana Madix and Chrishell Strause were angelic as could be inside the event, as they both donned drapey gowns in different shades of white. Posing for a photo in their complimentary get-up, Ariana sported a see-through gown that featured a dangerously high slit while Chrishell wore a figure-hugging off-the-shoulder dress.

But the festivities didn’t stop there. After all, Hollywood’s freshest faces stepped out for the ultimate night out at Vanities: A Night For Young Hollywood.
One of the event’s co-host Odessa A’Zion was supremely fashionable in a sparkling black jumpsuit she styled with a belt and leather jacket at the Mar. 11 event. Though the I Love LA star is the ultimate cool girl at every event she attends, she recently admitted that even she gets nervous before debuting a new look on the red carpet.

“I’m definitely s--ting my pants at every second,” the Marty Supreme actress told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published Jan. 29. But I feel like I’ve learned a lot. And I feel like I’m getting better at just being like, ‘OK, now is the time. Just ignore the judgement of people around you, and just do it.’”
While the 25-year-old revealed that some of her biggest style inspiration comes from rock and roll, she also shared her best advice for anyone looking to dress to impress.
“Just go and look around, which is exactly what a stylist does anyways,” she said. "Just take away the middleman and do it yourself.”
