Most likely the stylesheets (.css files) are not available to the
browser for some reason.

Impossible to know what the reason for that might be unless you provide
some details.

Learn how to ask a question that someone has a chance to answer if you
want to get some help.

Kind regards,

Try manage.py collectstatic

Just a general note but collectstatic should not be required for Django development in localdev.

Django will locate static files using STATICFILES_FINDERS when serving static is enabled (which normally is the case for localdev). It uses the same algorithm to do so as collectstatic.

If you're getting 404s for static files, then there can be a number of causes, apart from the usual PEBCAK:

• STATICFILES_FINDERS does not include all of the required finders (filesystem, app_directories) If not set, these are the default anyway.
• One or more directories is missing from STATICFILES_DIRS.

In the case of admin assets, these should always render except in the first case, so after checking on these settings check the traceback in the console to help triage the cause.
