Oscars 2025: The Best Dressed Celebrities Who Stole The Show

The 97th Annual Academy Awards and its dazzling afterparties weren’t just about the golden statues—they were a masterclass in red carpet glamour. Hollywood’s biggest stars delivered high fashion moments in custom couture, bold tailoring, and plenty of sparkle. From Atelier Versace to Gucci, Christian Louboutin, and Chanel, the evening’s fashion was nothing short of iconic.

Versace’s Reign on the Red Carpet and Beyond

Versace made its presence known in a big way this Oscars season. At the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscars Viewing Party, Donatella Versace herself stunned in a custom Atelier Versace gown featuring signature bustier construction and crystal-lined spiral slashes. At the Vanity Fair Oscars Afterparty, she changed into a striking gold-thread fil coupé gown from the brand’s Fall-Winter 2025 collection, proving yet again why Versace is synonymous with red carpet royalty.

Keke Palmer turned heads in a vintage Atelier Versace Spring-Summer 2004 look, complete with a crystallized mesh top and high-slit skirt, while Victoria Monét embraced effortless glamour in a Pre-Fall 2025 silk cady gown with signature draping. Over in the men’s department, Bowen Yang brought his signature cool in a Men’s Resort 2024 blue single-breasted wool blazer paired with formal trousers and Versace Luciano boots.

On the main Oscars stage, Academy Award nominee Coralie Fargeat shimmered in a Spring-Summer 2002 Atelier Versace gown adorned with gradient paillette embroidery, while Bruna Marquezine channeled early 2000s haute couture in a white halter-neck gown inspired by Versace’s Spring-Summer 2001 collection. And for the night’s electrifying live performance, Raye resurrected a legendary Versace Fall-Winter 1997 sculptural leather and jersey re-edition, making a dramatic statement on stage.

Gucci’s Star Power

Gucci also had a major presence at the Dolby Theatre. Andrew Garfield kept it effortlessly cool in a custom brown wool suit, silk shirt, and burgundy leather boots, while Laura Dern exuded elegance in a black velvet double-breasted jacket and lace bow-collar shirt, complete with a silk cummerbund and tailored trousers. Robert Downey Jr. opted for a sharp black peak lapel tuxedo with intarsia detail, while Susan Downey embraced all-out glamour in a red sequin-embroidered Gucci gown.

Christian Louboutin’s A-List Following

On the footwear front, Christian Louboutin was the go-to for stars like Elle Fanning, Demi Moore, and Yvonne Orji, each pairing their Oscars looks with the brand’s signature red-soled heels.

Chanel & Other A-List Designers

The legendary French house Chanel also had its fair share of VIPs gracing the Academy Awards, with exclusive couture looks spotted throughout the night.

This year’s Oscars red carpet and afterparties proved that Hollywood’s best-dressed continue to push the boundaries of fashion while embracing archival re-editions, custom craftsmanship, and high-voltage glamour. With a mix of vintage revivals, sleek tailoring, and show-stopping embellishments, one thing is clear—2025’s awards season was one for the fashion history books. —Vita Daily
