The Oscars are as much about glitz and glamour as they are about honoring talent—and the 97th Annual Academy Awards didn’t disappoint! The red carpet brought yet another night of iconic fashion moments, proving once again that style shares the spotlight with cinema. From muted hues to scene-stealing red tones, Hollywood’s elite gave us much to talk about. Let’s break down the night’s standout looks, trends, and the designers who made the magic happen.

The overarching theme of the night was muted, understated elegance, with neutral tones ruling the carpet. However, a few daring stars stepped out in bold reds, stealing attention and giving us all a lesson in chic contrast. Beyond the color palette, there was a noticeable split between stars playing it safe and those willing to push the lines of tradition with unconventional designs. Cynthia Erivo, Halle Berry, Ariana Grande, and Colman Domingo emerged as risk-takers, making bold statements that sparked fashion debates across the internet.

Halle Berry’s Soft Elegance in Christian Siriano

Halle Berry exuded elegance and personified style, gracing the red carpet in a custom-designed Christian Siriano gown. The strapless dress featured mirrored metallic detailing hugging her curves, capturing the perfect balance of contemporary fashion and timeless beauty. Once again, Berry reminded us why she’s a red carpet heavyweight.

Cynthia Erivo’s Couture Risk in Louis Vuitton

One of the evening’s riskiest—and most talked-about—looks came courtesy of Cynthia Erivo. She stunned in a custom Louis Vuitton gown that pushed boundaries, featuring dramatic structures and avant-garde style. Erivo didn’t just attend the Oscars; she once again embodied her character Elphaba in Wicked.  Without question, she continues to be one of the most memorable celebs on the red carpet, but that’s how she always does.
