NEW YORK — Celebrities such as Mikey Madison, Timothée Chalamet, Danielle Deadwyler, Ariana Grande, and Cynthia Erivo are poised to impress on the red carpet at the Oscars, adding a touch of glamour to Hollywood’s most anticipated event.
Julianne Hough set the tone with a stunning light beige ethereal gown, straight off the Christian Dior spring 2025 runway, as she graced the 97th Oscars on Sunday. These awards come in the wake of the destructive Los Angeles fires, which had put a damper on extravagant fashion for a while. As the city’s recovery progresses, celebrities are turning up their sartorial efforts for the most prestigious night in the awards calendar.
Some stars prefer to keep it elegant yet classic. Margot Robbie, known for her Barbie pink style, has recently adopted a softer look, echoing her character Glinda in “Wicked” alongside her co-star and fashion risk-taker Erivo. Erivo, who often pushes fashion boundaries, swapped her traditional dark Elphaba attire for a silver Givenchy piece with a dramatic collar fitting her bad witch persona at last week’s Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Meanwhile, Chalamet has experimented with a variety of outfits, acknowledging the buzz around his portrayal of Bob Dylan in “A Complete Unknown.” At the SAG Awards, he paired a vivid brat green Chrome Hearts button-up with a sleek black leather suit and bolo tie, reflecting Dylan’s iconic style. Likewise, Deadwyler stands out as a risk-taker with her daring choices, wearing a striking bright red strapless tiered Louis Vuitton gown at the same event.
Jeremy Strong, another fashion enthusiast, caught attention for diverse reasons among nominees and presenters. He sported a mint green velvet Loro Piana suit with a matching bucket hat at the Golden Globes, completed by a white turtleneck. Currently an Oscar supporting actor nominee, Strong’s fashion evolution continued at the SAGs in a custom Haans Nicholas Mott dusty green suit with satin shawl lapels and a bowtie.
Madison, a rising star in the fashion scene, chose a vintage route during a recent Oscar nominees’ dinner, adorning a dark blue velvet Bill Blass gown from 1987. Following her BAFTA win in a custom ivory Prada with a coordinating stole and a vintage Tiffany & Co. diamond necklace, she adopted a Hollywood starlet look at the SAGs with a strapless silver Louis Vuitton ensemble highlighted by a pleated bow at the waist. Her stylist, Jamie Mizrahi, renowned for dressing high-profile names like Adele and Jennifer Lawrence, has been instrumental in shaping her red carpet wardrobe.
As anticipation builds for the Oscars, many viewers are eager to see the stars on the red carpet. Several platforms, including E! with its “Live From E!: The Oscars” beginning at 4 p.m. Eastern and ABC’s pre-show at 6:30 p.m. Eastern, live on air and streaming on Hulu, will cover this much-awaited moment.
