We speak to some of the biggest names behind the red carpet's best looks.

Hollywood&#39;s biggest celebrations found new ways to&nbsp;f&ecirc;te its talented community this year. From the Emmys&#39;&nbsp;hybrid ceremony to the completely&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/Culture/full-list-of-2021-golden-globe-award-nominees">virtual Golden Globes</a><a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/pop-culture/golden-globe-awards-2021-nominees-list">,</a> these major productions found themselves thrust into unchartered territory&mdash;like many other areas of life over the past 12 months. Also thrown into the mix were the dedicated glam teams who ensure that the stars are groomed, manicured, and, most importantly, dressed, to perfection for each event. Thanks to Hollywood&#39;s top stylists, the expected elgance and awe of awards season fashion didn&#39;t miss a beat, even with virtual red carpets and Zoom awards.

From video chatting for fittings to setting up photoshoots in celebrities&#39; backyards, the scope of stylists&#39; work took on new dimensions which they&#39;ve continued adapting and evolving, all leading up to the biggest night in <a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/film-tv/celebrities-wo-never-won-an-oscar-and-why">Hollywood.</a> With the 2021 Academy Awards underway,&nbsp;L&#39;OFFICIEL&nbsp;speaks with the notable stylists responsible for the best awards season fashion thus far about how their perspectives has changed over the past year, the shifts they&#39;ve seen in Hollywood&#39;s attitude towards fashion, and what type of looks we might see on Oscars night.

&quot;Everyone had to accept that we have very little control of the elements&mdash;shipping delays, budget constraints, wardrobe malfunctions&mdash;but we rarely do in a normal year, so we rejiggered something else we&nbsp;really&nbsp;had no control over with lockdowns and quarantine,&quot; styling team Jill Lincoln and Jordan Johnson share. With clients including&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/jennifer-garner-best-roles" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Jennifer Garner</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/best-dressed-celebrities-bafta-2021-winners" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Anna Kendrick</a>, and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/rachel-brosnahan-marvelous-mrs-maisel-costumes" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Rachel Brosnahan</a>, they&#39;ve maneuvered the logistical challenges the pandemic has brought on and mastered virtual fittings. Their first pandemic awards project was outfitting the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/marvelous-mrs-maisel-trailer-2019" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Marvelous Mrs. Maisel</a>&nbsp;actress for the Emmys, where she celebrated her nomination for Best Actress at home in custom pajamas by New York-based designer Christy Rilling. For these virtual moments, the styling duo says that it&#39;s been even more of a team effort, with &quot;everyone doing their part to support the work done around them,&quot; including husbands snapping at-home red carpet photos.

While Jill and Jordan are now back to nearly-normal programming, dressing an undisclosed presenter for this year&#39;s Oscars, the pair have gained a new perspective on their work.&nbsp;

&quot;Our long running inside joke to each other is that we do God&#39;s work, but this year has given new meaning to who actually does God&#39;s work,&quot; the stylists reflect. &quot;It feels pretty universal among our clients as well that we recognize our role, which is to give people some much needed levity, entertainment, and aspiration for good days ahead. We are looking forward to getting our clients dressed to the nines as much as the people at home are looking forward to seeing the final product, but we can only hope the next time a hem is uneven or a shoe isn&#39;t the perfect shade we will be armed with the clarity that none of it really matters in the grand scheme. We all just need to do our best, fix what we can and be very, very grateful.&quot;

Like others in her field, Micaela Erlanger, stylist to Lupita Nyong&#39;o and&nbsp;This is Us&#39;&nbsp;Susan Kelechi Watson,&nbsp;has learned to embrace the change of scenery for red carpets gone digital this year. &quot;What makes awards season special is getting to see the glamour and the fashion, and while this might not be happening on a red carpet and it might be happening on a seamless in someone&#39;s backyard or in their living room, it has been creatively fulfilling to allow these looks to come to life in a different environment,&quot; Erlanger says. Without the stream of celebrities meandering through media outlets on the carpet and the unavoidable &quot;Who are you wearing?&quot; question on live TV, it&#39;s up to the celebrities and their teams to keep it exciting for fans. As Erlanger points out, this has made social media the main source for these pre-show rituals:&nbsp;&quot;With Instagram, the behind-the-scenes has become something that fans, brands, and the people involved really look forward to. We all enjoy that sneak-peek, fly-on-the-wall access at what goes into the making of a look.&quot;

In anticipation for the Oscars, the stylist says that we can expect wardrobe choices that reflect our current times, whether that means celebrities opting for a high-fashion form of comfort dressing or choosing to let the clothes do the talking altogether. &quot;Looking back to the other awards shows this year, we saw such a range from fancy pajamas to political statements to full-blown couture, so anything is possible.&quot;
