Elle Fanning took to the red carpet in Sarah Burton’s first-ever custom Haute Couture look for Givenchy. Inspired by Hubert de Givenchy’s first collection in 1952, the white floor-length dress featured a floral lace and a plunging sweetheart neckline cinched at the waist with a black bow – giving us a sneak peek of what’s to come for Burton’s new vision for the heritage house. Fanning accessorised with a Cartier jewellery.

Louis Vuitton loyalist Cynthia Erivo opted for a custom velvet gown in deep Elphaba green (naturally) with a dramatic face-framing collar. The dress is said to be a nod to Hattie McDaniel, the first black actor to win an Oscar. The look was completed with her signature statement nails and jewellery. Erivo, who was nominated for the best actress award, joined her co-star Ariana Grande for an on-stage medley of hits from Wicked to open the evening.

From her intricately embroidered Alexander McQueen dress at the BAFTAs to her sculptural gown at the Golden Globes, Demi Moore continues to reign supreme when it comes to red carpet dressing. For the Oscars, where she was nominated for best actress for her gripping role in The Substance, the actor wore a plunging silver sequin dress by Armani Privé.

The best supporting actress Oscar winner, for her role in Emilia Pérez, arrived on the red carpet in a custom Saint Laurent triple-layered red bubble dress with a beaded bodice and sheer gloves. The crowning glory? A chunky diamond necklace by Cartier.

This awards season, Selena Gomez has been channeling old Hollywood glamour for her red carpet looks. Following on from her standout sequin-emblazoned dress at the BAFTAs, Gomez opted for sparkle once more, enlisting Ralph Lauren to embellish over 16,000 glass droplets and crystals onto her fishtail, figure-hugging dress. The off-the-shoulder gown was inspired by star of the silver screen, Sophia Loren, and was paired with Bvlgari jewellery.

With her perfectly coiffed bob and custom red corseted Vivienne Westwood gown, singer-song-writer Raye was a vision on the red carpet ahead of her performance at the 97th Academy Awards.

It’s no surprise that Nosferatu’s costume design won it an Oscar nomination. Lead actor Lily-Rose Depp took inspiration from the gothic horror, stepping onto the 2025 Oscars red carpet in a custom Chanel Couture dress that took 515 hours to make. The actor who presented at the ceremony arrived wearing a semi-sheer lace dress with a peplum detail.
