Today in reasons to be obsessed with Jessie Buckley, she just showed up at the 2026 Oscars in an outfit that will truly go down in my personal red carpet history as one of THE greats. The Best Actress nominee arrived on the red carpet wearing a gorgeous pink and red off-the-shoulder gown.

Jessie is nominate for Best Actress thanks to her incredible performance in Hamnet, and told The Hollywood Reporter “I’m so proud and honored to be beside all those extraordinary women and to be there with Hamnet. I’m delighted.”
“Being on the trail as a family has been what it felt like when we were making it,” she said of the film’s pre-Oscars press tour. “We were a little village. Any time we make these films to share, this is the next leg, to put it out into the world and share with an audience and feel their response. I love those guys so much. It was an absolute privilege of my life to tell this story with them and I’m so proud and honored that it’s been responded to the way it has in the cinema because that’s who we make it for.”
Jessie also had some things to say about her costar Paul Mescal not being nominated for his performance as William Shakespeare, saying “I think he’s extraordinary in this film. I know I’ve met a partner for life in doing this with him. I don’t know what to say apart from he is, to me, my absolute. His artistry is something that will continue to grow and be a theme in so many different ways. I know what we created together is something that’s so special to us, and I hold that so dearly in my heart, and there’s no part of Agnes that exists without Paul. There’s no part of what I created or what we created in this story which exists without Paul and what he poured into this story. So what is recognized belongs to him as much as him being recognized in his own category would.”
Genuinely thought I’d run out of tears when actually watching Hamnet, but I’m welling up.
