First impressions are always important, especially when it comes to arriving at one of the most prestigious award ceremonies of the year. The 2025 Oscars red carpet was filled with exponential looks worn by some of Hollywood's greatest talents. Here are some highlight looks from the night.
Ariana Grande
Ariana Granda arrives at her first Oscars as a nominee for Best Supporting Actress in custom Schiaparelli. Her gown closely replicated a gown from the Schiaparelli Spring 2025 couture show, but her gown was custom made with sequin tool and blush fabric.
Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez was most notably acknowledged this year for her role in “Emilia Pérez,” which swept nominations with a total of 13. Gomez sparkled on the red carpet wearing a custom Ralph Lauren covered in 16,000 drops of glass.
Demi Moore
Demi Moore, nominated for Best Actress for “The Substance,” arrived in custom Giorgio Armani covered in silver crystals. It replicated an almost scale-like texture and a curtain structured waistline.
Timothée Chalamet
Timothée Chalamet is known for experimenting with menswear on the carpet, especially during this award season when he was nominated for his leading role in “A Complete Unknown.” His head-to-toe butter yellow suit was Givenchy with a matching butter yellow shirt underneath and paired with a golden necklace at his collar.
Cynthia Erivo
Cynthia Erivo was highly regarded for her role as Elphaba in “Wicked,” and her custom Louis Vuitton gown is a tribute to her character's notable green skin with the gown's fabric being a deep velvet green. The sleeves of her dress are in a dramatic bow-like structure, paired with an exaggerated neck collar.
Erivo’s nails are always making a statement as an accessory to her looks. Her nails on the carpet were covered in green and gold details, symbolic to the Wizard of Oz.
Lupita Nyong’o
Lupita Nyong’o graced the carpet wearing a custom Chanel. Her gown had pearls sewn at her neckline and as her straps that led to her sparkling corset tied together with an ivory bow that uniquely brought the whole look together.
Zoe Saldaña
Zoe Saldaña won at this year’s Oscars for her supporting role in “Emilia Pérez.” Saldaña wore a three-tier Saint Laurent dress in a deep red with long mesh gloves that ended at her upper arm. The bodice of her dress was a glittering fish net- like pattern tied in with the gloves and her silver necklace.
Bowen Yang
Bowen Yang is another notable man who experimented with menswear on the Oscars red carpet. His black suit featured a black leather jacket embroidered with flowers by Italian label Etro and a bubble-gum pink shirt with feathers down the buttons, most likely a tribute to Glinda from “Wicked.” He played the role of one of Glinda’s sidekicks, Pfannee.
Lisa
BLACKPINK’s Lisa wore a Markgong gown that was a stunning reimagination of the traditional black suit. Her gown was the traditional jacket and collared shirt extended all the way down to the floor with dramatically folded sleeves at her wrists and a red beret to tie the look together.
Halle Berry
Halle Berry continued the theme of silver sparkle by wearing Christian Siriano. Her gown was a simple, elegant silhouette covered in shattered mirror pieces that reflected beautifully on the carpet with a short train following behind her.
