Oscars 2025 Red Carpet Fashion: See Every Look (Live Updates)

Oscars 2025 Best Dressed: Cynthia Erivo, Zoë Saldaña & More Red Carpet Looks

Gwyneth Paltrow's pink Ralph Lauren ball gown, Julia Roberts' black-and-white Valentino, Charlize Theron's glittering Gucci, basically every dress Zendaya ever put on. Who’s to say if Academy Awards fashion has changed us for the better, but we’ve certainly been changed for good.

Which is why there’s no place like the red carpet March 2 as the stars turned out for the 2025 Oscars.

Among the looks that are sure to be pop-u-lar is the number Ariana Grande first teased to E! News at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival Feb. 9. 

“I’m very excited about it," said the Wicked star, nominated for best actress in a supporting role alongside A Complete Unknown's Monica Barbaro, The Brutalist's Felicity Jones, Conclave's Isabella Rossellini and Emilia Pérez's Zoe Saldaña, "and I’m really looking forward to wearing it."

Of course, she knows all about making an entrace, floating down the carpet at Los Angeles' Dolby Theatre in a  Schiaparelli ballgown covered in 190,000 crystal sequins and rhinestones. 

"The fit on this bodice, that is almost impossible to do," designer Christian Siriano declared on Live From E!: The Oscars. "It's stunning, incredible. And I love that it's really not pink. It's kind of icy blush, almost ivory tone."

Over-the-top was also the vibe for Saldaña, who continued to work in tandem with Yves Saint Laurent creative director Anthony Vaccarello and her longtime stylist Petra Flannery. 

"I just have to show up bright and early and clean and just in great spirits so that we can just play and continue being artists," Saldaña raved to E! of her dream team, "because I don’t just do this for fashion. To me, fashion is art, and I love collaborating with designers like Anthony Vaccarello and working with Petra, because they are artists in their own right."

A Complete Unknown's Elle Fanning struck her own collaboration, calling designer Sarah Burton's first creation as Givenchy's creative director "very special."

Because the woman behind Kate Middleton's wedding dress, "is one of my really close friends," Fanning explained to E!. "So it's a very special dress and Cartier necklace from 1958, which they pulled out of a vault."

And, no doubt, host Conan O'Brien will be pulling out all the stops for the finale to an awards season that's celebrated the likes of Timothée Chalamet, who scooped up a SAG Award for his turn as singer-songwriter Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, The Substance’s Demi Moore (already a Golden Globe, Critics Choice and SAG winner for her work in the horror flick) and Emilia Pérez's Saldaña, who has already amassed Golden Globe, BAFTA, Critics Choice and SAG trophies.  

Like Grande, both Moore and Saldaña are first-time nominees, joining a star-studded list of newbies that includes Barbaro, Rossellini, A Real Pain's Kieran Culkin and The Apprentice's Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong.

And while we wait to see who will be thanking the Academy (see the complete list of winners here), we're happy to announce a few winners in the best dressed category. 

A team of stylists have shown them what shoes to wear, how to fix their hair and everything that really counts to be popular on the red carpet. So check out all the celebrities who shone bright at the Oscars.
