This Sunday, April 25, is the 2021 Oscars. And, while the past year has been full of live-streamed and virtual awards shows, this is the first major one that is going to happen fully in-person. That means the fashion is back in full effect with people bringing their sartorial A-game for the biggest awards show of the year. But if you’re not entirely sure what time the Oscars 2021 red carpet starts, scroll down for all the details.

This year, the dress code is strict and decidedly formal. That means, no sweatpants and pajamas for this particular show. In fact, producers Steven Soderbergh, Stacey Sher, and Jesse Collins wrote a letter on March 18, stating: “For those of you unable to attend because of scheduling or continued uneasiness about traveling, we want you to know there will not be an option to Zoom in for the show.”

With nominees like Olivia Coleman and Glenn Close, and announcers like Zendaya, it’s sure to be a red carpet worth watching. After all, as the first major in-person awards show to be staged since the beginning of the pandemic more than a year ago, it’s a beacon of hope and hopefully a view of the normalcy that is to come.
