Each spring, the red carpet is rolled out and celebrities are awarded for their roles throughout the previous year. The red carpet is a tradition dating back to Ancient Greece, and is now an iconic part of any award show. The 2025 Oscars served beyond expectations, with styled looks ranging from Chanel to Versace. There is a select few who went above and beyond in the realm of fashion this year.

“Wicked” stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Ervio were dressed to the nines in Schiaparelli couture and Louis Vuitton. Grande, all decked out in a pink bustier dress, capturing Glinda’s essence. I loved how elegant her dress was, and how she incorporated Glinda’s style so well in her look.

Erivo, styled in a bow-shaped velvet dress, as a wicked choice for this year’s red carpet. I loved how her dark-colored velvet dress contrasted Grande’s to fully embody Elphaba. 

Best Actress Award Winner Mikey Madison mastered Hollywood glamour with a custom Dior Haute Couture. The dress featured a long satin pink skirt tied into a bow, connected to a strapless black top. I think the pink and black combined was a classy look that fit so well with her aesthetic.

Following the Old Glamour theme, Artist Selena Gomez arrived dripped in a custom 16,000 glass droplet dress designed by Ralph Lauren. The pink ombre dress featured Rosemount crystals and fell off the shoulders. I thought that the glass droplets brought a whole new level of fashion to the red carpet.

Arriving in a dark feminine style, Actress Lily-Rose Depp wore Chanel. The dress plunged in black lace, with a faint floral pattern. I loved how her look was simple, yet so flattering. I think the dress was perfectly made for her, and was a unique choice for the red carpet.

Despite a Hollywood glamour and dark feminine trend, “Spiderman” star Andrew Garfield arrived in Gucci. I thought that his dark chocolate brown suit and pants were an effortless and timeless look. This look featured a monochromatic color scheme, and he accessorized with dark tinted sunglasses.
