For her appearance at the 98th Academy Awards, Isha Ambani wore a vintage Valentino gown which she paired with a diamond choker and diamond earrings from Lorraine Schwartz. The strapless black and cream gown with floral embroidery belongs to the Valentino Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2006-2007 collection.
Although she has attended the Met Gala in New York several times—most recently in 2025—this is Ambani’s first appearance at the Oscars. Ahead of the Oscars, she had visited the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. The meeting aimed to bring together the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) and the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.

About the Oscars 2026
The 98th Academy Awards are underway at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Comedian Conan O’Brien is back for a second year to host the ceremony.
The Oscars double as an evening to honor the best films from the previous year and a glamorous parade of fashion.
The glitzy celebration, Hollywood’s most over-the-top gala of the year, took place as the U.S. wages war on Iran.
Security was tight in and around the ceremony. Organizers said they were working closely with the FBI and Los Angeles police after a federal warning of a possible Iranian threat against California, though authorities have cited no specific or credible danger to the Academy Awards. Attendees had to cross through several traffic checkpoints and go through metal detectors to make their way into the event.
