US Edition‘KPop Demon Hunters,’ ‘Sinners’ and More: Oscars Choreographer Mandy Moore Breaks Down the Show
EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami wore gold-and-black outfits inspired by their Oscar-nominated song "Golden," performing it at the ceremony as the first all-Asian musical act at the Oscars.
- On March 15, 2026, EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami walked the Oscars red carpet at Dolby Theatre in coordinated gold-and-black looks as a homage to their Oscar-nominated song 'Golden'.
- Ahead of the telecast, Audrey Nuna and stylist Danyul Brown said they saved gold for the finale because 'To do gold felt like the sacred thing' and Nuna’s family has ties to Thom Browne.
- EJAE wore a strapless beaded gold Dior gown with a front slit and fringed train, Audrey Nuna paired a high-collared gold-beaded Thom Browne jacket with a voluminous black skirt, and Rei Ami chose a sequined black-and-gold minidress under a dramatic opera coat embroidered with golden birds.
- They performed 'Golden' on the Oscars stage as one of the evening's musical acts, and moments after their rendition, it was announced 'Golden' won Best Original Song, becoming the first K-pop song to win that Oscar.
- Earlier this year, 'Golden' made history at the Grammys as the first K-pop song to win for visual media, with the soundtrack topping charts again at the Oscars.
