As one of the most significant elections draws to a close, another electrifying campaign has begun overnight on the West Coast at the starry 2024 Governors Awards—the bid to the 2025 Oscars. Hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Board of Governors, Hollywood’s emerging and established names have gathered at the Ray Dolby Ballroom at Ovation Hollywood to begin vying for the industry’s premier accolade. Unlike other prestigious ceremonies that invite an array of A-Listers, the Governors Awards are unique in reserving the guest list for those who have appeared in notable releases this year, meaning that the press tours we saw commence at illustrious international film festivals shift into overdrive.
From the Venice set, Best Actress winner Nicole Kidman in a draped Celine gown and her signature tousled blonde mane. Of those who debuted films in Cannes, Demi Moore in a high-low Givenchy gown and striking Sartoro Genève. Like all red carpet appearances for The Substance, Margaret Qualley proved Moore’s antithesis in a perfectly contrasting white Chanel bridal dress from the French Maison’s Spring/Summer 2022 Haute Couture show. Fellow Chanel muse, Lily-Rose Depp dipped further into the archives with a haunting off-the-shoulder gown from SS18 that channels the gothic essence of Robert Eggers’ upcoming Nosferatu remake.
Elsewhere, Jennifer Lawrence stunned in a delicious custom chocolate brown Bottega Veneta gown that featured a body-conscious fit and gently cradled her growing bump. Bespoke maternity wear? That’s that me Espresso, indeed. Also of note was Angelina Jolie, who arrived at the event arm in arm with her youngest son, Knox. The 16-year-old made his sophomore red carpet appearance after debuting at the 2021 red carpet for Marvel’s Eternals.
The Oscars buzz is palpable tonight! Without further adieu, see the best dressed from the 2024 Governors Awards, below.
