“Oscars 2025 Red Carpet Fashion: Live Updates on Every Stunning Look”

Gwyneth Paltrow‘s pink Ralph Lauren ball gown, Julia Roberts‘ black-and-white Valentino, Charlize Theron‘s glittering Gucci, basically every dress Zendaya ever put on. Who’s to say if Academy Awards fashion has changed us for the better, but we’ve certainly been changed for good.

Which is why there’s no place like the red carpet March 2 as the stars turn out for the 2025 Oscars.

Among the looks that are sure to be pop-u-lar is the number Ariana Grande first teased to E! News at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival Feb. 9. 

“I’m very excited about it,” said the Wicked star, nominated for best actress in a supporting role alongside A Complete Unknown‘s Monica Barbaro, The Brutalist‘s Felicity Jones, Conclave‘s Isabella Rossellini and Emilia Pérez‘s Zoe Saldaña, “and I’m really looking forward to wearing it.”

And of course she won’t be the only one bringing the magic to Los Angeles’ Dolby Theatre with nominees and presenters like Cynthia Erivo, Mindy Kaling, Selena Gomez, Oprah Winfrey, Halle Berry and Emma Stone aiming to defy expectations on the film industry’s biggest night.
