Alas, the 97th annual Academy Awards are finally here. The Oscars 2025, hosted this year by comedian Conan O’Brien, brought out the film world to the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 2. It’s the final act in what has been a historic (and, at times, very chaotic and unpredictable) awards season. Anora, the comedic drama from director Sean Baker, walked away with a total of four Oscars.
But before those little gold men were handed out inside the Dolby Theatre, stars of the past year’s biggest and boldest films hit the Oscars red carpet to show off their fanciest black tie outfits. Among them were Best Actress winner Mikey Madison (who won a close race that included Demi Moore and Fernanda Torres), A Complete Unknown star Timothée Chalamet, and Wicked leading ladies Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande (who later delighted the crowd with a performance of tunes from the Jon M. Chu blockbuster). The likes of Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus, Emma Stone, and Elle Fanning all presented awards during the evening, which meant that the Oscars red carpet wasn’t short on sheer star power. Here, see all the best dresses, suits, and high jewelry from the Oscars red carpet 2025.
