Fan Bingbing

Fan Bingbing made a regal entrance in sparkling silver and emerald green on the champagnec­olored carpet Sunday at the 95th Academy Awards. Hong Chau wore a highneck pink Prada column gown with a feathery black train and Malala Yousafzai worked the hood of her silver sparkler from Ralph Lauren like a pro.

Bingbing, the “X-men” star, wore Tony Ward Couture with her hair sculpted into an Old Hollywood bob, as some of the men among the early walkers brought the sparkle. We’re looking at you Lorenzo Zurzolo. Others, like Brendan Fraser, went for traditiona­l black tuxedos.

While Fan looked like a queen, Sofia Carson was a princess in white custom Giambattis­ta Valli haute couture, a stunning statement diamond and emerald necklace accenting her ball gown with its offshoulde­r, form-fitting bodice, a delicate diamondsha­ped cutout at the center. Her jewels were by Chopard, including 122.49 carats of emeralds and 92.57 carats of diamonds.

Also looking royal was Angela Bassett in Moschino. The look by Jeremy Scott included draping that looked like a huge bow up top as the fabric swirled around her body. She was perfectly accented with a serpent necklace.

“It’s light, it’s royal purple, our color for royalty,” she told E!. “Just bringing that to the carpet. And, also spring.”

Yousafzai, 25, was a producer on “Stranger at the Gate.” She said her dress represente­d “peace, love, harmony.”

“I feel so much myself in it,” she told The Associated Press. Monica Barbaro practiced her carpet walk in a two-tone Elie Saab ballgown of deep plumb and delicate blue chiffon with a long full train.

“They were the first couture house to loan to me when nobody knew who I was,” she told E!

Cara Delevingne repped young Hollywood well in a gorgeous red silk taffeta ballgown with a thigh-high slit and one shoulder with a billowing bow. She paired the look with a Bulgari serpent choker in white gold with emeralds for the eyes of the snake.
