Leonardo DiCaprio arrived at the 98th Academy Awards in Los Angeles this Sunday with a brand new mustache.
The 51-year-old actor and producer is nominated for Best Actor for One Battle After Another. Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, the 2025 drama and action thriller follows Bob Furguson (DiCaprio), a washed-up revolutionary who lives in a state of stoned paranoia, surviving off the grid with his spirited and independent daughter, Willa (Chase Infiniti). When his evil nemesis resurfaces and Willa goes missing, the former radical scrambles to find her as both father and daughter battle the consequences of their pasts. One Battle After Another received 13 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director and multiple acting nods.

Many fans online immediately noticed DiCaprio’s new look and posted their thoughts on social media.
“Leo looks stylish with that mustache,” a user commented on X. “Gives him a classic, distinguished red carpet vibe tonight.”
“Leo rocks a mustache Pedro Pascal cuts his😂,” a fan pointed out. Pedro Pascal, who is also in attendance at Sunday’s award show, arrived on the red carpet with a clean face, which shocked many as well.
One user quote-tweeted, “Marty’s power,” referring to Timothee Chalamet’s character in the film Marty Supreme, who also rocks a mustache. The 30-year-old actor is also nominated for Best Actor.
Another quote-tweeted, “I dig the moustache look on him!!! #Oscars.”
“Leonardo DiCaprio owns the red carpet—classic black tux, bow tie, and that bold mustache giving major leading-man swagger. Timeless yet fresh; he’s ready to take home the gold. 🔥,” a user wrote.
