At the 98th Academy Awards on March 15, 2026, Kelly Ripa turned heads in a dazzling gold gown that had fans gasping. The Live with Kelly and Mark host and her husband, Mark Consuelos, stepped onto the red carpet looking like a picture-perfect couple in black-tie attire — and their appearance had everyone talking.

In a dress that practically shimmered with every step, Kelly looked like a literal Academy Award. The stunning gold gown featured a strapless neckline, a corset bodice, and a floor-length column skirt covered in hundreds of reflective sequins. She paired her show-stopping dress with rose-gold pointed-toe pumps and sparkling diamond rings, proving that her style knows no bounds.

Her husband, Mark Consuelos, 51, looked just as suave, wearing a classic black tuxedo with a white button-down shirt, black velvet jacket, tailored trousers, shiny dress shoes, and a bowtie. His outfit was completed with a gold watch and a perfectly combed back hairstyle.
Together, they were the epitome of glamour, turning heads and sparking admiration from fans both on and off the carpet. This marks the second year in a row the couple has made a dazzling appearance at the Oscars, continuing to show their love and style. Last year, Kelly wore a bold tangerine-orange gown, while Mark kept it classic with a sleek black tux.
