The 2025 Oscars attracted Hollywood’s elite to the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, where celebrities showcased a dazzling array of outfits, ranging from breathtaking to utterly surprising.
Hosted by Conan O’Brien, the event celebrated the year’s most notable cinematic achievements, featuring films such as “Anora,” “Wicked,” “Emilia Perez,” and “The Brutalist.”
While many attendees aimed to make a statement, some fashion choices were notable for garnering negative attention.
Ariana Grande’s striking appearance topped the list of the most controversial looks, as she donned a voluminous gown that resembled a gothic interpretation of her character from “Wicked.” Fashion critics and fans debated its resemblance to a modern Dracula, making her ensemble one of the evening’s hot topics.
Alongside Grande, other stars such as Demi Moore, Cynthia Erivo, and Kieran Culkin made bold style choices that sparked conversations on the red carpet.
The night also featured much-anticipated performances from Grande and Erivo, as well as Doja Cat and Queen Latifah, solidifying the 2025 Oscars as an unforgettable event—celebrating both cinematic brilliance and unexpected fashion statements.
