We may never know what it's like to attend the Oscars as someone who has starred in hit (and definitely-should-have-been-nominated) movies, but thanks to Booksmart and Unbelievable's Kaitlyn Dever, we can sort of imagine it. For the 2020 awards show, the 23-year-old actress helped grant InStyle inside access, snapping a few photos from the event and even grabbing close-ups of her red carpet gown.

As it turns out, the custom red Louis Vuitton number that Dever arrived in was more than just stunning. It was also ethical and eco-responsible, made of silk satin that was certified by the “Red Carpet Green Dress."

"With fashion, you can think a little bit before you buy something brand new," she told Giuliana Rancic on the E! red carpet, prior the the awards show. "That's really important. And also, look into the brands that you're supporting."

Aside from sharing the details on her bold, beaded dress, the actress took us through the night's major moments, whether it was getting her glam done, the sneaky selfie she took during the show, or the snack food she wish she packed in her bag. Dever also captured a sweet moment she shared with another talented pal, who you might just recognize from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
