LOS ANGELES—It is decidedly casual inside the Dolby Theatre the day before the Oscars.

Most people, celebrities included, are wearing jeans and sneakers, and in Brie Larson’s case, a backpack, to practice presenting awards Saturday. Walking out with Javier Bardem, Angela Bassett looked comfortable in a matching blue Adidas tracksuit and baseball hat to top it off. But look down at her feet and you might be a little surprised to see glittery silver high heels.
