But before the awards are announced, here are a few looks that caught our eyes as the attendees walked the iconic red carpet. For good or bad reasons — that’s up to you to decide. But in our books, these are the best-dressed celebrities of tonight!
#21 Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus left her eyebrows behind as she showed up in a custom glittering black Alexander McQueen halter gown and lace gloves.
The singer, who bleached her eyebrows, was joined by her boyfriend Maxx Morando on the red carpet.

#22 Zoe Saldaña

This dress probably wouldn’t have looked good on everyone… but it did on Zoe Saldana.
The extra ruffles of dark wine red and the glittering transparent top just do it for her. Topping it all off with a chain around her neck and see-through black gloves, Saldana’s outfit gives off an elegant, calm vibe to her person.
“OH MAMA THAT OSCAR IS YOURS,” exclaimed one person.

#24 Hannah Stocking

This dress could’ve gone disastrously wrong. But it didn’t.
The tight fit to Stocking’s upper body and gorgeous flow down to the red carpet was eye-popping, to say the least.

#25 Timothée Chalamet

As so many news outlets and social media users described it, Timothée Chalamet’s outfit looks like melted butter.
And as undesirable as that description may sound, it works so well for him. The look is simple but the color is eye-catching. Pair that off with casual black shoes and a great hairstylist, and you’ve got a solid fit.

#27 Kristy Sarah

Two words here: The flowers!
The gorgeous purple and cream-colored roses dotting the lower half of Kristy Sarah’s dress definitely make the look for her.

#29 Doja Cat

Absolutely yes.
This entire outfit just screams Doja Cat. What’s even better is that the singer somehow managed to make her hair match perfectly with the leopard-like print of the gown. The small train trailing behind her, along with the accessories on her neck just blend so seamlessly with the entire look.

#31 Emily Kassie

There isn’t much to say about this, other than: Red is Emily Kassie’s color. In this dress, her presence can be felt through the screen.

#33 Georgina Chapman

Georgina Chapman’s black Oscars dress is a whole geometrical shape of its own, but that doesn’t mean it’s a ‘bad’ look, by any means.
It’s complicated, but not too complicated, especially since most of its ruffles and excessive designs lay by her feet.

#34 Keleigh Sperry Teller

The flowy, casual dresses are all the craze right now, and the actress’s look is a perfect example of why.
It’s simple enough not to have people doing a double take, but her presence is undeniable on the red carpet with those gorgeous designs by her left shoulder and hip.

#35 Fernanda Torres

The little glimmers of shimmer along Fernanda Torres’s dress and the feather ruffles around her waist add a great touch of personality to the look.
The Brazilian actress is nominated in the Best Actress category for I’m Still Here, and couldn’t contain her excitement about becoming the second mother-daughter duo to be nominated at the ceremony.
“It’s unbelievable to have nominated DNA,” she exclusively told Live From E!: The Oscars’ Zuri Hall. “It’s incredible.”

#39 Charlotte Lawrence

If there were a person to embody the feeling of running through a field of flowers on a warm, sunny, spring day with a sort of child-like joy in the air… Charlotte Lawrence’s Oscars 2025 red carpet outfit would be exactly that.

#40 Raffey Cassidy

Two words: The bow.
It would’ve been a great dress without the additional little twist on the shoulder. But the bow added so much style and volume to an already beautiful outfit.
