Oscars 2025: Shiny gowns, trains and props rule

Wicked star Ariana Grande walked the Oscars’ red carpet on Sunday in a sculptural flared pink top and a tulle skirt by Schiaparelli. She was one of several actors to make bold fashion statements. Whoopi Goldberg wore a shiny blue gown with a flared skirt, while British actress Yasmin Finney sported a black dress featuring feathery attachments that shot over her head.

The Brutalist best supporting actress nominee Felicity Jones wore a silver dress with slits and a tie around the waist. Demi Moore, favoured to win best actress for The Substance, won a sparkling silver gown with a train flowing behind her. Zoe Saldana, who won best supporting actress for her turn in Emilia Perez, wore a multi-tiered maroon dress with a sparkling top and long gloves on her arms.

Halle Berry wore a strapless silver gown with shiny small tiles running down the dress, while Gal Gadot chose a bright red gown with a full skirt.

Donning an off-shoulder rose gold Ralph Lauren gown dripping in crystals, Selena happily posed on the red carpet. Styled by Molly Dickinson, Gomez's look was inspired by Sophia Loren.

Ariana Grande and her stylist Mimi Cuttrell selected a blush pink Schiaparelli Spring/Summer 2025 Haute Couture strapless bustier gown with a bodice that extended into a sculptural peplum waist.
