Florence Pugh shared the less-than-glamorous side of getting ready for the Oscars as she led the stars posting on social media ahead of the ceremony.

The British star, who is nominated for the best supporting actress award for her role in Little Women, shared a video of herself in a full beauty face mask on her Instagram Stories.

The actress was first of all seen looking away from the camera before turning sharply and saying jokingly: “Today is the day!”

Avengers actor Mark Ruffalo took a step down memory lane as he shared a throwback picture of himself and his wife Sunrise Coigney.

“9 years ago at the #Oscars with my beautiful Sunrise…and still going strong.

“Looking forward to presenting at tonight’s show. Good luck to everyone nominated!” he tweeted.

America Ferrera paid tribute to her How To Train Your Dragon character in her post before attending the ceremony.

The former Ugly Betty actress, who is pregnant with her second child, showed off her beautiful red dress which she teamed with a gold headpiece, reminiscent of those worn by the Lenca tribe.

She wrote: “#Oscars for the final farewell to 12 years of How to Train Your Dragon & my Berkian Warrior Queen Astrid.

“Tonight, I bring my own warrior ancestors with me, the indigenous Lenca tribe of Honduras.”
