The 97th annual Academy Awards ceremony is finally here!

Taking place at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood in Los Angeles, the highly anticipated 2025 Oscars has commenced, and it’s no surprise that this year’s lineup of nominees is star-studded, to say the least.

But before the awards are announced, here are a few looks that caught our eyes as the attendees walked the iconic red carpet. For good or bad reasons — that’s up to you to decide. But in our books, these are the best-dressed celebrities of tonight!

#1

Anok Yai

Elegant celebrity in a gold gown with black feather details on the Oscars red carpet.

Anok Yai’s stylist knows exactly what they’re doing.

The bright, sheer texture and color of the model’s dress brings out her dark skin tone in a stunning way, and the black feathers don’t steal the gown’s spotlight, but accentuates it.

    Selena Gomez

    Selena Gomez

    There’s really nothing to say — the picture speaks for itself.

    Everything about Selena Gomez in this image screams Hollywood, and the rose gold color of her dress is something that has countless people fawning over.
    “Just pure star power,” one person labeled her.

    This is the blueprint for how celebrities should dress up during events.

    Michelle Yeoh

    Michelle Yeoh

    It seems Michelle Yeoh is just incapable of wearing a bad — or mediocre — outfit, ever.

    With blue as vibrant as a sapphire gem, the actress’s dress nicely hugged her body, with a separate portion trailing behind her. Yeoh’s bun and silver jewelry were also perfect choices for the look.

    Practically every single one of Marissa Bode’s outfits have stunned audiences.

    I would love this if it went over her knees. I don't like that shape of dress.

    Demi Moore

    Demi Moore

    It’s a fit that radiates class, style, and confidence. Demi Moore dazzled in all silver with her floor-length gowned, that pooled favourably in a perfect half circle. Her matching accessories and flowy locks did well to finish off the look.

    “I’m loving everything about this look!” said someone on X.

    The Wizard of Oz himself certainly brought out his inner magic!

    Jeff Goldblum sported a medley of purple, teal, white, and black in an outfit that just works perfectly. His stylist knew exactly what they were doing.

    Janet Yang

    Star on Oscars red carpet in an elegant, floral gown with a flowing cape, smiling at Hollywood event.

    It’s no surprise the first Asian American President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences would absolutely stun on the red carpet.

    Wearing a somewhat tight-fitted white gown with hues of pink and green fine-line flowers, the 68-year-old topped it all off with an unforgettable dark magenta-red shawl that trailed to the floor, she certainly set the bar for those who would come after her.

    Lupita Nyong'o

    Elegant star posing on Oscars red carpet in a flowing white gown.

    Classy, elegant, beautiful. Three words that just perfectly describe Lupita Nyong’o — and the dress she wore.

    It’s the added silver on her top, the embedded jewels, and the subtle bow that just do so much for her without being too attention-grabbing.

    Ana De Armas

    Sometimes a little texture is all you need to transform a simple black dress into something stunning — and that’s exactly what Ana de Armas did. 

    The Cuban-Spanish actress has an upcoming movie set to release later this year: Ballerina.

    Cynthia Erivo

    "Celebrity in elegant green gown on Oscars red carpet."

    Cynthia Erivo looked wickedly captivating as she stepped out to the red carpet in a dark green Louis Vuitton dress that screamed Elphaba Thropp.

    According to the actress herself, she made sure her outfit gave a dedicated nod to Oz.

    “Fairyyyy godmother,” one person called her while multiple labeled her as, “MOTHER!”

    She is a lovely woman, but many people stopped their judgment on the "movie poster controversy" and the fact that she and Ariana cried a lot during the Wicked press tour (in my opinion the 2 controversies were unjustified)

    Horrible dress, on a horrible person. Downvote me if you like but this woman straight up showed her true colours when she went after a small artist for a one off edit of the movie poster making it more closely resemble the stage show posters.

    Not everyone would have been able to rock this look, but Lisa certainly did. It’s a blend of femininity and masculinity, and it works perfectly with the singer’s simple hair. 

    The Blackpink member teamed up with Doja Cat and Raye for a James Bond medley during the ceremony.

    Celebrity poses on Oscars red carpet in black glittering suit, exuding Hollywood glamor and style.

    Simple is the way to go! An elegant all-black outfit with matching shoes and a little bedazzle on the suit? It’s a perfect look that does everything it needs to command people’s attention.

    Annabelle Wallis

    Annabelle Wallis

    Annabelle Wallis’s stunning blue dress pooled perfectly to the ground as she posed for the cameras, her golden hair a great contrast with the rest of her outfit. 

    And, of course, silver jewelry was the way to go. 

    She was there to support her boyfriend, Sebastian Stan, who had received his first Oscars nomination for his role in the biopic The Apprentice.

    That’s our Glinda right there!

    Ariana Grande has always paid tribute to Glinda the Good with her stunning outfits, but this one has to take the cake.

    It quite literally looks as if she’s floating off the ground, with her signature pink top and the shining, champagne-colored ruffles of her skirt.

    Andrew Garfield

    Andrew Garfield

    Seems like Andrew Garfield used his Spidey senses to put together the perfect outfit for tonight!

    In a matching chocolate set and a pair of shades, the actor stunning on the red carpet, while also bringing many audience members to tears while paying tribute to his fellow presenter Goldie Hawn.

    Before presenting the award for Best Animated Film, Garfield turned towards Hawn and thanked her for giving “my mother the most joy, the most comfort” during her life. His mother had died of pancreatic cancer in 2019.

    “I feel very lucky because I get to thank that person from the bottom of my heart. That person is Goldie Hawn,” he said while he held her hand. “You’ve given us movies full of joy. You’ve lifted our spirits and you’ve made us feel it all was right with the world, over and over again.”

    Mindy Kaling

    Celebrity on the Oscars red carpet in a silver gown, showcasing Hollywood's glamorous fashion night.

    The intricate design, the attention to detail in the texture of it all… it would be an insult not to put Mindy Kaling in best-dressed. 

    Although the actress isn’t wearing much jewelry, it works well, since her dress counts as both the outfit and the additional glam. The bun adds to the simplicity, and makes sure the audience never strays away from the main event: the gown.

    Zoe Saldaña

    A star in a burgundy gown poses on the Oscars red carpet, showcasing Hollywood fashion.

    This dress probably wouldn’t have looked good on everyone… but it did on Zoe Saldana. 

    The extra ruffles of dark wine red and the glittering transparent top just do it for her. Topping it all off with a chain around her neck and see-through black gloves, Saldana’s outfit gives off an elegant, calm vibe to her person.

    “OH MAMA THAT OSCAR IS YOURS,” exclaimed one person.

    And as undesirable as that description may sound, it works so well for him. The look is simple but the color is eye-catching. Pair that off with casual black shoes and a great hairstylist, and you’ve got a solid fit.
