Doja Cat brought big cat energy to the Oscars red carpet − literally.

Ahead of Sunday night’s awards ceremony, the rapper and vocalist walked the carpet in a floor-length cheetah print gown with a matching draped neckpiece.

The fabric, seemingly a wink to her stage name, was cinched into a mermaid silhouette and given extra dazzle by a sequined sheen. The look was paired with chunky yellow gold jewelry, with a prominent pendant necklace and large heart-shaped earrings.

Other standout looks included a “Wickede” princess pink getup from Ariana Grande, a shimmering silver look from Demi Moore and a crystal-embedded gown from Selena Gomez.

Doja Cat is set to perform at Sunday’s ceremony, joining Queen Latifah, Cynthia Erivo, Grande, Lisa of Blackpink, and Raye, for the night’s intermittent musical moments.

The show, which has traditionally spotlighted the tunes nominated for best original song, has taken a different approach this year, instead using performances to “(celebrate) the filmmaking community and some of its legends,” according to producers. Latifah will perform a Quincy Jones tribute while Erivo and Grande opened the show with renditions of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and “Home” from “The Wiz,” respectively.

Comedian Conan O’Brien will serve as the master of ceremonies as the year’s most celebrated films vie for the most coveted honor of awards season.
