Last night Hollywood celebrated it’s biggest night at the 97th annual Academy Awards, aka the OSCARS! While there was a lot of diversity in the films nominated, the red carpet leading up to the event was a little less varied. I actually had to wonder, was there a memo sent out with a dress code for colors you could wear? If so, I think Michelle Yeoh’s got lost in the mail. But I am here for it – in a sea of neutrals (yes, gold and silver are considered nuetrals – they can be mixed and matched with almost anything), she stood out in a beautiful, brilliant blue. The Oscars red carpet fashion trends for 2025 were A LOT of neutrals (I’m talking to you black, white, gold, silver), some pops of red, velvet, lace, voluminous silhouttes and mermaid gowns. We even learned some telling things from the fashions – Jon M. Chu, the director of Wicked wore green. Do we have an Elphaba fan on our hands?
Another thing we learned, hair didn’t seem to be a priority for many of the stars for this red carpet. Tossed and tossled with a gown has a place, but in my opinion it’s not the Oscars. So this time around, I thouht it would be fun to share one thing I really love about each look on my Oscars best dressed list, and one thing I would change. Since there was less spice on the red carpet, I figured I would add it here. Without further ado, here are my picks for best dressed at the 2025 Oscars. Who wore your favorite look?
Elle Fanning in custom Givenchy haute couture – I would have removed the necklace and added a large earring with black diamondsLupita Nyong’o in Chanel – love the detailing on the dress, so dainty and girlyAriana Grande in custom Schiaparelli haute couture – stunning silhouette, love how avant garde this look isCharlotte Lawrence in Valentino – although it too is Valentino, I would lose the kitty purse, it distracts from the dressSelena Gomez in custom Ralph Lauren – stunning look, she just wears this silhouette a lot, would like to see something differentRaye in custom Vivienne Westwood – stunning color on her and the draping is flattering and elegantQueen Latifah – the details on the shoulders is really pretty and draws the eye to her lovely face and jewelryMichelle Yeoh in Balenciaga – not the most stunning dress, but a fabulous color that really poppedRyan Michelle Bath – fun hair with the dress, the straigh neckline allows for this nicelyDemi Moore in Giorgio Armani Prive – the hair should be up, the long look is datedHalle Berry in Christian Siriano – sleek and chic from the hair to the gown, love it allMind Kaling in Oscar de la Renta – the hair is perfect for this look, highlights her face and the dressCynthia Erivo in Custom Louis Vuitton – bold and whimsical all at once, a great not to Elphaba, the character she was nominated for playingGeorgina Chapman – unique fit from top to bottom, really stunningDa’Vine Joy Randolph – the detail at the waist is so elegant and very flatteringHannah Stocking – the volume is perfect for the Oscars, a night to have a wow momentMarlee Matlin in Yara Shoemaker and Briony Raymond – sleeves can sometimes be boring and dowdy, but on this look, they are fantasticly doneClockwise from top left: Jon M.
