Oscars 2024: Jamie Lee Curtis puts on an elegant display in slinky black gown and unique diamond-encrusted cuff bracelet

Jamie Lee Curtis looked incredible in a figure-hugging black gown at the 2024 Academy Awards on Sunday.

The 65-year-old actress put on an elegant display in a quarter-sleeved dress with a floor-sweeping train as she posed on the carpet at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

She rocked her usual short silver pixie cut in a voluminous, slicked back hairstyle.

She also showcased her radiant beauty in a glamorous makeup look featuring full lashes, peachy pink blush and a rosy nude lip.

Before she made her early arrival alongside Eva Longoria and hit the red carpet four hours before the Oscars began, Curtis had also shared a photo to herself getting ready.

She then headed to the Oscars in a classic and chic look paired with dazzling statement earrings and a gold cuff bracelet with a stunning diamond design.

The Halloween alum explained in an Instagram post that the bracelet was designed to be a replica of the Winged Victory of Samothrace.

'I am wearing a gold cuff with a diamond encrusted replica of the Winged Victory of Samothrace,' she wrote in the a caption of a post of herself on the red carpet. 

'The statue was worshiped in a temple built for her,' she continued. 'Cathy Waterman first saw her at the top of the stairs at the Louvre when she was a teenager, and it did something remarkable for her in that moment.

'It showed her that there was a huge unknown world out there, and led her to a study of ancient history. What an inspiration she's been for Cathy and it's my great honor to wear her to the Oscars on my wrist!'

Before heading to the star-studded event, Curtis took to her Instagram Stories on Sunday before the big award ceremony to post a snap of herself getting ready.

In a mirror selfie, she wore a black button-down blouse and posed in her bathroom.

She also sported a pair of her black-frame glasses over a green face mask covering her face. The Knives Out star wrote in her caption: 'Prepper @theacademy'.

Curtis will be a presenter this year after she won her first Oscars award for the first time last year.

In 2023, she took home the trophy for Best Supporting Actress after starring in the night's best picture winner Everything Everywhere All at Once.

Reflecting on her win last year, Curtis told Variety on the red carpet that it changed her career 'in really incalculable ways'.

'I'm making a movie with James L. Brooks right now,' she said about newly presented opportunities and how her world has 'changed'. 'I've been asked to work with people that I never thought I'd get asked to work with.

'James L. Brooks being one of them,' she continued. 'It's hard to put into words, but the good feeling that I've had from all over the world has changed me.'

Before starring in the sci-fi action movie, she already had a celebrated, decades-spanning career in acting.

'I've been around a long time,' Curtis said before adding that Everything Everywhere All at Once was special because 'that movie changed people'.

'That movie had an impact,' she said. 'That's what movies do. That's the beauty of movies. They have an impact and they change the way we think and the way we feel and shift us. I've had that shift. The unexpected moment last year has just kept growing and rolling and it's been beautiful.' 

The 96th Academy Awards honors the best films of 2023 - with the glittering ceremony held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. 

The most hotly anticipated movies of the past year - Barbie and Oppenheimer - lead the nominations. 

Oppenheimer has bagged 13 nods, including best picture and best actor for Cillian Murphy - who is favorite to win the major category after scooping a BAFTA, a Golden Globe and SAG award for his role as physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer.

The impressive total - which also includes best supporting actor and actress for Robert Downey Jr. and Emily Blunt, as well as best director for Christopher Nolan - is just one nomination short of the all-time record set by Titanic in 1998.

Last year's other smash hit movie - Barbie - was nominated for eight awards, but also fell victim to notable snubs from the Academy.

Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer was nominated for best director and a host of other awards

What Was I Made For and I'm Just Ken from Barbie received their expected nominations for best original song

Its star Margot Robbie was not nominated for best actress, while Greta Gerwig was not nominated for best director.

Another surprise saw America Ferrera nominated for best supporting actress over her role in Barbie, with pundits saying her character's impassioned speech on feminism had sealed the deal. 

Barbie's other nominations include best picture, best supporting actor for Ryan Gosling and two nods for best song - including Gosling's famed 'I'm Just Ken.' 

The second most-nominated movie was Poor Things, a graphic art house movie starring Emma Stone that has wowed critics but so-far failed to set the box office alight.

Stone plays a sex-crazed young woman, with her performance wowing critics. She previously won best actress in 2017 for her performance in La La Land. 

For best actor in leading role Bradley Cooper and Cillian Murphy are set to duke it out for the award. Colman Domingo, Paul Giamatti and Jeffrey Wright received nominations as well.

Leonardo DiCaprio was not recognized for his acting on Killers Of The Flower Moon.

Lily Gladstone is the first Native American nominated for best actress, for her performance in Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon

Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things took home 11 Oscar nominations and Killers of the Flower Moon landed 10.

Annette Bening, Lily Gladstone, Sandra Huller, Carey Mulligan and Emma Stone have been nominated for best actress in a leading role.

Gladstone is the first Native American nominated for best actress, for her performance in Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon - and is the favorite in the category thanks to her wins at the Golden Globes and SAG Awards,

What Was I Made For by Billie Eilish and I'm Just Ken performed by Ryan Gosling from Barbie received their expected nominations for best original song. 

Sterling K. Brown, Robert De Niro, Robert Downey Jr., Ryan Gosling and Mark Ruffalo received nominations for best actor in a supporting role.

Emily Blunt, Danielle Brooks, America Ferrera, Jodie Foster and Da'Vine Joy Randolph received nominations for best actress in a supporting role.

Joy already has  Golden Globe, Bafta, Critics Choice and Screen Actors Guild awards and is favorite for an Oscar for her performance as a bereaved cook in The Holdovers.

Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon and Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer were nominated for best directing, snubbing Greta Gerwig's Barbie. 

Da'Vine Joy Randolph was nominated for best actress in a supporting role for her part in The Holdovers

Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo were both nominated for their roles in Poor Things

Bradley Cooper was nominated for best actor, but was snubbed of a directing nod for Maestro

Gerwig was nominated for best director in 2018 for her solo directorial debut, Lady Bird. Only three women have won Oscars for best director - Kathryn Bigelow, Chloe Zhao and Jane Campion.

Though Nolan is regarded as the big-budget auteur of his era, he's never won an Academy Award, nor have any of his films won best picture. 

Bradley Cooper was not nominated for directing Maestro but he was recognized for his acting in that bio movie.

American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, Barbie, The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, Oppenheimer, Past Lives, Poor Things and The Zone of Interest landed best picture nominations.  

The 96th Academy Awards will be held on March 10 at 7 pm ET/4pm PT live on ABC, hosted for a fourth time by Jimmy Kimmel.
