The Oscars red carpet is the stage where both film and fashion history is made. For nearly a century, the Academy Awards has given us some of the most unforgettable red carpet moments: Audrey Hepburn’s Givenchy gown in 1954, Cher’s show-stopping Bob Mackie ensemble in 1986, and Lupita Nyong’o’s Cinderella-blue Prada in 2014. It’s an evening for the world’s biggest stars to collaborate with the most revered designers for fresh-off-the-runway looks, custom creations or archival wonders that bring a sense of history to the occasion.
This year, as the 97th Academy Awards unfolds at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, the anticipation is as much about the fashion as it is about the films. Will Wicked co-stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande continue their streak of theatrical method-dressing glamour? Will Mikey Madison, one of this awards season’s favourite new fashion darlings, deliver another standout moment? And will Demi Moore opt for a sartorial nod to her gorey role in The Substance?
While the Oscars traditionally calls for timeless glamour, this year has seen daring style take centre stage, calling upon nominees to step up their game with boundary-pushing looks.
Here, we round up the best red carpet moments from the 2025 Oscars.
