The 97th Academy Awards lit up the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, bringing an evening of surprises, triumphs, and, of course, unforgettable fashion moments. With Conan O’Brien as the host and a competitive field of nominees—led by Emilia Pérez with 13 nominations—expectations were high for both the awards and the red carpet.

This year’s fashion did not disappoint. Rising star Mikey Madison cemented her status as a style icon, while Demi Moore’s looks paid tribute to her role in The Substance. Wicked stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande delivered breathtaking couture, blending vintage elegance with bold statements. Meanwhile, Colman Domingo and Jeremy Strong continued to redefine menswear on the red carpet.

Traditionally known for its classic and refined aesthetic, the Oscars red carpet took a daring turn this year, reflecting the unpredictability of the awards season itself. From timeless glamour to avant-garde risks, Hollywood’s finest once again proved that fashion is as much a star of the night as the films themselves.
