I’d like to thank the Academy for the best 2025 Oscars red carpet fashion. Without the 97th Annual Academy Awards’ takeover of Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre on March 2, hosted by Conan O'Brien and attended by style stars like Elle Fanning,

Nobody calls it Tinseltown anymore, but after Sunday night’s Academy Awards opened with a parade of reflective, glittery silver gowns sparkling down the 900-foot red carpet (nominees Felicity Jones and Mikey Madison mugged for photos, as did Mindy Kaling, Halle Berry and Emma Stone) you could be forgiven for reviving the old nickname.

First-time host Conan O'Brien will preside over the 97th Academy Awards; Jimmy Kimmel handled hosting duties for the past two years. The Oscars are always a dazzling evening, but the 2025 iteration is sure to be especially thrilling, with first-time nominees like Demi Moore, Kieran Culkin and Mikey Madison.
