Bella Thorne gave her Instagram followers a behind the scenes glimpse into her Oscars prep on Sunday, March 15, sharing a series of candid snaps ahead of the 98th Annual Academy Awards in Hollywood.
Captioned, “If little Bella could see me today #oscars2026 🖤,” the 28-year-old actress reflected on the milestone moment while showcasing a dramatic, high-fashion look.
In one standout photo, Thorne was seen posing outside against a graphic striped wall before heading to the ceremony, as well as riding in the backseat of an SUV en route to the event while eating a quick meal. For the evening, she chose a sheer black gown that blended sultry detailing with couture-level polish.

The floor-length dress featured a fitted silhouette with a subtle monogram pattern woven throughout, a high neckline with sheer mesh overlay, and statement feathered cuffs at the wrists for added texture and movement. The gown hugged her frame before flaring slightly at the hem, delivering classic red carpet glamour with a modern edge.

Thorne wore her hair pulled back into a sleek half-up style with soft curls that fell down her back. Diamond drop earrings added sparkle, while her makeup centered on sculpted cheekbones, smoky eyes, and a muted rose lip. Long, cobalt-blue nails offered a bold contrast to the all-black ensemble.
On the red carpet, she posed confidently in front of the Oscars backdrop, feathers framing her hands as she smiled for photographers.
