Ashley Graham arrived on the red carpet for the 2023 Academy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, wearing an edgy take on all-black.
The model wore a custom dress by Alberta Ferretti that featured draped chiffon angel sleeves, a cutout bodice and a crystal-embroidered skirt. Graham accessorized with jewelry from Pandora, including diamond drop earrings and a sparkling Row eternity ring.

Last August, the model and Rosario Dawson were named the faces of Pandora’s lab-grown diamond collection, which includes rings, bracelets and earrings made with renewable energy.
To create her look for the evening, Graham worked with stylist Emily Evans, who has dressed her in brands such as Balmain, Etro and Victoria Beckham.

This is the second time this year that Graham has turned to the sheer trend. At New York Fashion Week in February, the model wore a shimmery gray turtleneck sweater.
Graham co-hosted ABC’s “Countdown to the Oscars” with Vanessa Hudgens and Lilly Singh. This is Hudgens’ second time co-hosting the pre-show and the first time for Graham and Singh.
The annual Oscars celebrates the film, the cinematography and the actors who brought the characters to life. Jimmy Kimmel is hosting the show this year. Performances have included Rihanna and Lady Gaga, and presenters have included Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, Janelle Monáe and others. For the 95th annual ceremony, the red carpet was changed to a champagne color due to an aesthetic choice to enhance photography during the arrivals. The champagne carpet is the first to turn red since the 33rd Oscars in 1961.
