The Oscars red carpet has become bigger than the ceremony itself. With jaw-dropping couture and viral fashion moments, did anyone even care who won Best Picture? The night’s true winners might just be the designers, not the directors.

The 97th Academy Awards, which took place on March 2, 2025, at the legendary Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, was not just a night of gold statuettes—it was a complete fashion extravaganza. While history was being made by the winners, the actual stars of the evening were the show-stopping outfits that walked the red carpet. From fairytale romance to bold couture, Hollywood's crème de la crème brought their A-game, and we were living for it.

Let's keep it real: The Oscars red carpet is essentially the Met Gala of Hollywood. It's where stars go all out, designers unveil their most legendary designs, and the internet goes wild with memes, admiration, and hot takes. This year? Total slayage from beginning to end.

Ariana Grande seemed to walk straight out of a whimsical fairytale in a bespoke dusty pink Schiaparelli gown. The peplum satin bodice and tulle explosion of a skirt was pure main character energy. With De Beers diamonds and her signature sleek ponytail, Ari was reminded why she's still a red-carpet queen.

Yasmin Finney made the red carpet her own catwalk in a black Harris Reed showstopper adorned with dramatic feather plumes. With sheer gloves and understated gold jewelry, she delivered gothic glamour with a twist. A complete serve from head to toe.

Elle Fanning tapped into her inner Audrey Hepburn in a bespoke Givenchy gown created by Sarah Burton. The dainty floral French lace, sweetheart neckline with a dramatic plunge, and black bow waist detail rendered this look effortlessly chic. Timeless, but never dull.

Cynthia Erivo arrived in an award-winning show-stopping deep emerald green velvet gown courtesy Louis Vuitton, emanating major Wicked energy (literally). That high-collared drama and sculpted cut made the outfit one of the most dramatic looks of the night. Plus points for signature killer nails.

Demi Moore showed she's still got it in a low-cut silver sequined Armani Privé gown. The streamlined shape and crazy beadwork made her look effortlessly cool, and let's be real—she's aging like a fine wine.

Other celebrities also killed the fashion game. Zendaya slayed vintage Versace like only she could, while Timothée Chalamet served up red carpet rebel in an embellished Haider Ackermann suit.
