The 97th Academy Awards ceremony held Sunday night in Los Angeles brought together the best celebrities who came to see and especially to be seen, as well as to win 2025 Oscar awards.
Let's start with the most dazzling point of the night. Singer Doja Cat replaced the Balmain leopard print dress she wore on the red carpet with a garment – if one can call it that – made entirely of Swarovski chains, delivering the most talked-about look of the evening.
Doja Cat wrapped her body in diamond threads that covered all the necessary areas. The jewels hung on a sheer nude-colored dress that included a deep strapless neckline and a trailing train. She paired this brilliant masterpiece with matching strappy heels and a massive diamond ring.
After admiring this unique look, we can go back to slightly more traditional and refined dresses. These are the actresses who stole the show on the red carpet at the Oscars ceremony, starting with our Israeli star, Gal Gadot. Gadot wore a red strapless dress with pleats and pockets, in a look that somewhat references the Queen character in Snow White. There's no doubt she looked amazing.
Demi Moore, who didn't take home the statuette, shined in a custom Giorgio Armani Privé dress embellished with crystals featuring a plunging neckline and pleated embellishments at the waist that led to a dramatic train.
Ariana Grande, who also didn't win an award, stood out in a sculptural Schiaparelli Haute Couture dress in her signature pink color from the brand's Spring 2025 collection.
Zoe Saldaña, who won the Best Supporting Actress award, wore a Saint Laurent dress by Anthony Vaccarello that included a rhinestone-covered top and tiered wine-colored skirt. Sheer opera gloves and Cartier jewelry added even more drama.
Selena Gomez sparkled in a Ralph Lauren Collection dress adorned with hand-sewn crystals and more than 16,000 glass droplets crafted by a team of 12 artists. Bulgari jewelry added even more shine to the look.
Miley Cyrus brought her rock star style in a custom Alexander McQueen embellished dress.
Emma Stone glittered in a hand-knit champagne-colored Louis Vuitton dress.
Cynthia Erivo wore a forest green velvet dress with a royal collar, bow detail, and a puffy skirt. Note the manicure.
Elle Fanning brought a breath of old Hollywood glamour in a white lace dress with a sweet neckline and a black bow.
And there's no doubt that the star of the evening is Mickey Madison, who won the Oscar for Best Actress. Madison appeared in a custom Christian Dior Haute Couture dress.
