The post Odessa A’zion Is Hollywood’s Most Compelling New It-Girl appeared first on marie claire.

]]>

With a growing list of screen credits and a rapidly rising profile, Odessa A’zion is fast establishing herself as one of Hollywood’s most compelling young talents. At just 25, the actor has already delivered notable performances in Marty Supreme and I Love LA, earning attention for her grounded, contemporary presence on screen.

A’zion’s career has been steadily building for several years, with earlier roles in series including Fam and Ghosts, as well as film appearances such as Am I Okay? opposite Dakota Johnson.

Raised in a creative household as the daughter of actor Pamela Adlon and producer Felix O. Adlon, she has been immersed in the industry from a young age, developing a clear sense of confidence and presence. A brief cameo in the Jaden Smith dating canon in 2017 also introduced her to public curiosity, well before her career gained momentum.

Alongside her growing body of work, A’zion is also gaining recognition for her considered approach to fashion. Rather than relying solely on established designers, she has shown a willingness to take an active role in shaping her red-carpet image. A penchant for black and oversized tailoring, paired with her now-famous curls (which have their own discourse), has quickly become her signature.

At the New York premiere of Marty Supreme in December, A’zion wore a custom 1920s-inspired black gown that she co-designed with L’Atelier 7474 and Maison Privée in Los Angeles. The look was one of the most talked-about of the evening, reinforcing her view of fashion as an extension of personal expression.

As her career continues to gain momentum, A’zion is proving to be a talent worth watching, both for her performances and her growing presence on the red carpet circuit.

Below, we take a closer look at Odessa A’zion’s most memorable looks to date.

The awards season calendar officially opens tonight with the 2026 Critics Choice Awards at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica. Now in its 31st year, the ceremony once again sees Chelsea Handler return as host, marking her fourth turn at the helm.

On the film front, Sinners leads the nominations, followed closely by One Battle After Another, Hamnet, Frankenstein and Marty Supreme, bringing stars like Timothée Chalamet, Jacob Elordi and Leonardo DiCaprio firmly into focus.

The acting categories are equally stacked. Amanda Seyfried and Jessie Buckley face off in Best Actress contention for The Testament of Ann Lee and Bugonia, while Elle Fanning and Ariana Grande compete in the supporting category for Sentimental Value and Wicked: For Good.

Before the critics weigh in, however, the red carpet sets the tone. Hollywood’s A-list arrive dressed to impress, offering an early glimpse at the silhouettes and moods poised to define awards season style.

The Gotham Awards, which kicked off the 2025-2026 awards season on Monday, set the stage for what is sure to be a captivating year of cinematic celebrations. With a lineup that celebrated both indie darlings and A-list heavyweights, the event was brimming with dazzling fashion, notable wins, and, of course, red carpet moments that left us all in awe.

For the evening, marie claire’s December cover star Rose Byrne turned heads in a custom Louis Vuitton gown.

The fitted bodice, meticulously hand-embroidered with vertical black sequins, sculpted an effortlessly sleek and structured silhouette that contrasted beautifully with the ethereal fluidity of the skirt.

The A-line shape of the gown was formed by gathered layers of silk tulle, with the inner layer in a softer hue to add sculptural depth. Raw-edge finishes on the frills lent an airy quality, enhancing the gown’s breathtaking movement.

The embroidery itself was a labor of love: 50,000 black “cuvette” sequins, each a mere 5mm in diameter, were hand-crocheted by five artisans over the course of 180 hours.

The sequins, arranged in a “rivière” style, allowed for a seamless flow that was both eye-catching and fluid. A total of 25 meters of silk tulle were used to create the gown’s delicate layers, with the overall design taking 300 hours of painstaking work.

At the awards, Guillermo del Toro was honored with the Vanguard Tribute for Frankenstein, a film that celebrates the human-driven artistry of cinema. It Was Just an Accident by Jafar Panahi emerged as the evening’s big winner, sweeping the awards.

Akinola Davies Jr. took home the coveted Breakthrough Director award for My Father’s Shadow, while Tessa Thompson was recognised with the Spotlight Tribute.

Kate Hudson and Hugh Jackman were honoured with the inaugural Musical Tribute, and One Battle After Another won Best Feature, with Paul Thomas Anderson accepting the award and dedicating it to his wife, Maya Rudolph, on their anniversary.

Meanwhile, Rose Byrne’s performance as Linda in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You was a standout of the evening, earning her recognition in the Leading Performance category. In this unflinchingly raw role, Byrne portrays a mother desperate to maintain control as she cares for a child with a mysterious illness.

Add a dysfunctional marriage, a sinkhole in their New York apartment, and a tense feeding schedule at a Montauk hotel, and you have a narrative that is both absurd and heartbreaking.

Byrne, at 46, delivers a performance that is both harrowing and beautifully controlled—an elastic band stretched to its breaking point before finally snapping. It is a career-defining moment, an immense feat of emotional restraint, and one of her most compelling performances to date.

If I Had Legs I’d Kick You earned four nominations at the Gothams in total, including Best Film, Best Director (Mary Bronstein), and Best Screenplay, making it one of the night’s most talked-about films.

Though it didn’t win any awards, its nominations were a testament to the film’s profound impact and a clear indication of Byrne’s raw talent and range.

While much of the world eases toward year’s end, fashion enters one of its most commanding moments. December does not signal retreat, but crescendo. On December 1, the 2025 Fashion Awards reclaimed London’s Royal Albert Hall, drawing designers, models and the industry’s highest echelon of power players into one glittering convergence.

Arriving just weeks after New York’s CFDA Awards, the quick turnaround did nothing to dull the appetite for spectacle.

Presented by the British Fashion Council in partnership with Pandora, the ceremony functioned as both celebration and cultural reckoning.

The awards honour those reshaping fashion in real time, from emerging provocateurs to the titans whose influence continues to set the global agenda. Beyond the red carpet, the evening also delivered tangible impact, raising critical funds for the BFC Foundation and its grant and education programs that nurture the next generation of talent.

Actor and style icon Colman Domingo presided over the night in custom Burberry that nodded with precision to British craftsmanship. Anok Yai arrived already anointed Model of the Year after another season of dominance on the world’s most influential runways. Sienna Miller also revealed she is pregnant with her third child, arriving with partner Oli Green in a sheer Givenchy gown.

Attention soon shifted to the most hotly contested category of the evening. The Designer of the Year race saw Glenn Martens, Jonathan Anderson, Miuccia Prada, Willy Chavarria and Martine Rose go head to head for the industry’s top honour.

Ultimately, Jonathan Anderson claimed the prize for the third year running, while Delphine Arnault received a Special Recognition award for her exceptional contribution to the global fashion industry and longstanding commitment to championing emerging talent.

The programme was elevated by live performances from Tems and Raye, who delivered her hit Where Is My Husband! alongside a rendition of Cry Me a River, as well as a stirring appearance by the English National Ballet. Together, the moments underscored the night’s celebration of artistry across disciplines.

Ahead, the looks that set the tone for the night.

The 2025 marie claire Women of the Year Awards set the stage for one of the most powerful and stylish evenings of the year.

Held at Bell Shakespeare and presented by Georg Jensen with support from Volvo, Olay, F5 Collective and Constellation Brands, the event gathered more than 150 of Australia’s most influential women for a night that honoured extraordinary achievement and equally extraordinary fashion.

The guest list read like a pantheon of cultural influence. TV icons Janice Petersen, Melissa Doyle, Lisa Wilkinson and Samantha Armytage mingled alongside advocates Grace Tame, Brittany Higgins and Vanessa Turnbull-Roberts, while Olay ambassador Pia Whitesell brought a quiet sense of sophistication.

Wherever you looked, the room was populated by women who have shaped the past decade – and those who are boldly architecting the next.

As guests settled in, marie claire editor Georgie McCourt opened the night with a line that captured its spirit:

“Our nominees tonight are women whose work is changing the world in big, loud ways and in quiet, essential ways. Their stories will stay with you long after this event, and they’re guaranteed to shift your perspective.”

As the global awards circuit continues its annual whirlwind, from the LACMA Gala earlier this month to this week’s Governors Awards and with the Golden Globes and Grammys now only weeks away, attention often shifts to Hollywood’s biggest stages.

Today, however, the spotlight tilts decisively homeward. The ARIA Music Awards unfurl their red carpet at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion, inviting a celebration that feels unmistakably and triumphantly Australian.

Long recognised as the country’s foremost celebration of musical excellence, the ARIAs bring together the full spectrum of Australia’s sound. Across 29 award categories and a vast cross-section of genres, the ceremony recognises chart-dominating powerhouses, bold new voices and the creative architects behind the scenes who have shaped the past year with ingenuity, edge and ambition.

It is a night devoted to the many dimensions of talent: global trailblazers, innovative disruptors and the producers, writers and collaborators who give Australian music its pulse.

Sydney, the creative capital of the country’s music landscape, provides an atmospheric backdrop worthy of the occasion. The city’s vibrant energy, amplified by a warm summer afternoon, bathes the event in a sense of momentum and anticipation.

The Hordern Pavilion, rich with cultural history, once again becomes the centre of Australia’s musical universe, a venue that has welcomed generations of leading performers from around the world.

Tonight’s crimson carpet welcomes a striking lineup of talent, including Olivia Dean, arriving in the glow of a Grammy nomination and the announcement of her forthcoming sophomore album, The Art of Loving.

She appears alongside a remarkable cohort of artists: Alex Lahey, Anna Ryan, Baker Boy, G Flip, Janet English, Keli Holiday, Kita Alexander, Missy Higgins, Neve Van Boxsel, Thelma Plum, Touch Sensitive, You Am I and Young Franco.

Scroll down for all the looks from the 2025 ARIAs red carpet.

Awards season has crept up once again, ushered in on Sunday evening by the 2025 Governors Awards in Los Angeles, where industry titans Debbie Allen, Tom Cruise, Wynn Thomas and Dolly Parton were honoured for their contributions to cinema.

This year’s red carpet unfolded as a study in understated drama. Dakota Johnson was ethereal in a mint-green strapless Valentino gown, her signature long hair cascading softly over her shoulders.

Elle Fanning swanned in like modern-day royalty, shimmering in blush-pink sequins, while Natalie Portman dazzled in a Dior mini intricately embellished with thousands of minute beads, giving the illusion of a meadow in bloom.

Ariana Grande embraced a touch of soft, knowing method dressing, slipping into Glinda pink via an asymmetrical Fall 2007 Dior gown. At her side, Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo delivered one of the night’s most arresting looks: an impressionistic pistachio Givenchy coat by Sarah Burton, complete with cascading fringe and painterly floral embroidery.

They weren’t the only on-screen duo to turn heads either. One Battle After Another stars Chase Infiniti and Teyana Taylor swept in wearing plumes of tulle and glittering sequins, delivering pure red-carpet spectacle.

Below, discover the standout looks from the 2025 Governors Awards, a refined, quietly daring preview of the season to come.

The glamour of Hollywood collided with the avant-garde of contemporary art at the 14th annual Art+Film Gala hosted by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, November 1.

Set beneath the museum’s iconic Urban Light-installation and bathed in the glow of high fashion and creative energy, the evening saw luminaries from film, fashion and visual art alike gathering to celebrate and fundraise.

What Is LACMA?

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (better known as LACMA) is the largest art museum in the western United States, with a collection spanning more than 6,000 years of creativity. Each November, its Art+Film Gala brings together Hollywood’s biggest names and the art world’s brightest minds.

This year’s 14th annual event saw guests gathered to honour two game-changers: painter Mary Corse, whose work plays with light and perception, and filmmaker Ryan Coogler, the visionary behind Black Panther and Creed. Co-chairs Eva Chow and Leonardo DiCaprio returned to host, with Gucci once again leading the fashion charge as presenting sponsor.

On the red carpet, the stars more than delivered. Think: think Demi Moore in sheer florals, Cindy Crawford and Kaia Gerber twinning in sequins and Troye Sivan giving sleek tailoring a twist.

Beyond the sparkle, the night raised vital funds for LACMA’s mission – supporting exhibitions, film projects, and education programs that keep the dialogue between art and cinema alive.

The Academy Museum Gala returned to Los Angeles for its fifth year, drawing a constellation of actors, musicians and designers in celebration of cinema’s legacy. Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco made a radiant appearance as newlyweds, joined by Demi Moore, Kendall Jenner, and Greta Lee among the evening’s glamorous guests.

This year’s honourees reflected the breadth of artistic influence across the industry. Bruce Springsteen was awarded the inaugural Legacy Award for his genre-defining contributions to music and storytelling, and later took to the stage for a live performance.

Penélope Cruz received the Icon Award, recognising her global cultural impact, while Bowen Yang was presented with the Vantage Award for his fresh, transformative voice in film.

The Luminary Award went to visionary director Walter Salles, celebrated for expanding the possibilities of cinematic craft.

The blue carpet offered its own masterclass in modern glamour. Kaia Gerber wore ethereal white lace and a cape by Sarah Burton for Givenchy, a subtle homage to Audrey Hepburn’s 1954 Oscars ensemble. Zoë Kravitz chose voluminous Saint Laurent ruffles, while Michelle Monaghan embodied romantic drama in a floral Carolina Herrera gown.

A more avant-garde mood emerged among certain attendees. Jenna Ortega wore a Grace Ling sculptural breastplate and soft skirt, Rebecca Hall appeared in a painted Thom Browne creation, and Kim Kardashian made a dramatic entrance veiled in Maison Margiela couture.

Ahead, the most memorable looks from the 2025 Academy Museum Gala.

AFL’s night of nights, The Brownlow Medal, is here and while many fans of the football code are holding out to see who takes home the coveted gong, our focus is firmly on the red carpet.

Once a low-key affair – think demure cocktail dresses and classic black tie, more “awards night dinner” than “fashion spectacle” – as AFL’s profile has grown, so too has the glamour.

Now, the glitz of the Brownlow’s red carpet is always a sight for fashion-lovers to behold as the wives, girlfriends, mums and friends save their most striking looks to Melbourne’s Crown Palladium. Think sweeping gowns, sky-high heels, and enough sequins to rival a disco ball.

The 2025 red carpet may feature a few familiar faces including Bec Judd, wife of former AFL star, Chris Judd and influencer Mattie Gouman who is dating Carlton’s Harry McKay. Then, there’s the question of whether Brownlow contender Bailey Smith will bring rumoured new flame, Tammy Hembrow.

If last year’s fashion moments were anything to go by, expect a heady mix of Hollywood glamour, homegrown cool, and just enough risk-taking to keep us gasping.

Where To Watch The 2025 Brownlows & Red Carpet

Coverage of the 2025 Brownlow medals, including the red carpet, will be broadcast on Channel Seven and 7Plus from 7.30pm AEST.

Margot Robbie’s Red Carpet Evolution Has Been A Big, Bold, Beautiful Journey https://www.marieclaire.com.au/fashion/red-carpet/margot-robbie-red-carpet-looks/ Wed, 17 Sep 2025 06:06:18 +0000 https://www.marieclaire.com.au/margot-robbie-best-fashion-looks From Barbie and beyond, the looks keep coming!

The post Margot Robbie’s Red Carpet Evolution Has Been A Big, Bold, Beautiful Journey appeared first on marie claire.

]]>
Few stars command a red carpet quite like Margot Robbie does. Her style evolution has played out much like the namesake of her latest film – as a big, bold, beautiful journey.

Never shy of risk, she’s built a fashion gravitas that feels equal parts fearless and self assured, while still maintaining the laid-back Aussie cool, easy-going factor she is known for.

With the help of long-time stylist Andrew Mukamal, the actress has seamlessly shifted from ingénue to industry style force, blending taste with experimentation at every recent red carpet.

Mukamal being the same genius who turned her Barbie-era wardrobe into a cultural moment, the stylist has continued to refine her fashion identity by balancing archival treasures, with contemporary couture.

In the lead up to the success of the 2022 hit film, he spoke of their enduring collaboration, “Margot and I marathoned through 50 or 60 outfits”, he recalled of their Barbie fittings. An effort that paid off in dividends and proved the meticulous work behind her most striking moments during that press tour.

Her ascent began long before her current reign. After being dressed by Calvin Klein for the 2016 Met Gala and later starring in their ad campaign, it wasn’t long before she was being scouted by major international fashion houses.

Chief among them, Chanel. In 2018, the brand appointed Robbie as a brand ambassador for the iconic French fashion house, ensuring that most, if not all red carpet appearances saw the actress arrive in a custom or couture look. 

Since then, her looks have undoubtedly evolved from laidback mini dresses to show-stopping gowns. That being said, while her aesthetic will continue to grow alongside her, we know she’ll always be that down-to-earth, girl-next-door Aussie girl that we know and love. 

Below, Margot Robbie’s best fashion looks to date. 

Margot Robbie Red Carpet Style

Margot’s post-baby comeback began in Los Angeles, where she wore a sculptural Stella McCartney LBD with semi-sheer corsetry, padded hips, and a sheer midriff. Minimal accessories let the silhouette do the talking, bringing strength and refinement in equal measure.

At the London premiere of A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, Robbie stunned in one of Giorgio Armani’s final couture creations: a crystal-encrusted sheer gown with an open back and matching bejeweled thong, a fearless tribute to the house.

For the New York stop, she turned to Mugler’s Spring ’98 archives, wearing a black-and-white corseted gown with thigh-high slits and a plunging neckline. Styled with a sleek updo and minimal jewelry, it was vintage glamour reimagined.

The day after her premiere, the actress stepped out in a black-and-white Phoebe Philo–era Celine minidress, paired with oversized sunglasses, a bold cuff, and a color-block tote. A playful contrast to her high-drama evening look.

On a more intimate rooftop setting, her star stripped back the glamour in reworked vintage lingerie style pieces from Mugler complete with soft waves, letting subtle silhouettes and texture do the work.

While promoting her latest project at BBC Radio One in London, Robbie kept it casual in a fitted tan Chanel knit top and high-waisted jeans, a laid back look that still carried her signature polish.

For a Sydney photocall, Robbie swapped gowns for sharp tailoring in a Vivienne Westwood black corset paired with wide-leg trousers, a sleek departure that proved just as impactful as her couture moments.

Finishing off the Barbie award-season run, Robbie chose a black sequinned Versace gown at the 2024 Oscars. She complemented it with a gold cuff and beachy waves, stepping away from her usual pink colour palette in favour of dramatic elegance.

For the annual Oscars luncheon in 2024, Robbie embraced classic Chanel in a bubble-gum-pink tweed skirt set. Playful yet polished, the look nodded to her Barbie press-tour palette while grounding it in timeless Parisian chic.

During the Barbie press run in LA, Robbie embraced full fantasy in a Schiaparelli hot-pink mini with a sculpted bodice and dramatic rosette detail, playful and bold, and instantly one of her most talked about looks.

At the European premiere in London, she turned to Vivienne Westwood for a corseted gown in a blush satin with trailing drapery. A romantic old-Hollywood take on archival Barbie glamour that proved one of the tour’s most memorable moments.

Throwing it back to one of her classic looks, at the 88th Academy Awards, she turned heads in a long-sleeved Tom Ford gown drenched in liquid-gold sequins. Paired with a sleek clutch and loose waves.

Her former stylist at the time Kate Young, cementing this as one of her most iconic looks.

Back on home soil, at the AACTA awards, she shimmered in a custom Vivienne Westwood gown with a corseted bodice and sequin draping. The structured silhouette and liquid metallic finish struck the perfect balance between vintage glamour and contemporary edge.

In a rare behind the look behind stylist Mukamal’s instagram, Robbie embraced playful polish in a bubble-gum-pink Versace mini skirt with a cropped blazer top. Styled with peep toe pumps and sleek strands. A nod to the midriff style that took over the Barbie press tour.

Every Look From The 2025 VMAs Red Carpet https://www.marieclaire.com.au/fashion/red-carpet/vmas-2025-red-carpet/ Sun, 07 Sep 2025 23:21:09 +0000 https://www.marieclaire.com.au/?p=1292665 Always a kaleidoscopic Red Carpet

The post Every Look From The 2025 VMAs Red Carpet appeared first on marie claire.

When it comes to the music awards circuit the VMAs (Video Music Awards) have always been the red carpet where rules don’t just bend, they break. It’s the night where music and fashion collide in the most unapologetic way possible.

As expected this year is no different, a runway of extremes, from ‘bigger than Texas’ hair theatrics to sheer fantasy gowns, each look sparking its own conversation.

This year’s carpet doubled as a stage, where the celebs blurred the lines between costume and couture, performance and personality. Instead of chasing safe trends, the stars have embraced a fearless mix of nostalgia with nod’s to Dolly Parton and J-Lo’s 2000 VMAs look.

Whether it’s Sabrina Carpenter’s high concept glamour, or Lenny Kravitz’s tailored suit, swag. It’s a reminder that the VMAs red carpet reigns supreme in the world of high-concept, avant garde fashion.

Taking place at the UBS Arena in New York, the annual awards show showcases the year’s most popular and visually distinctive music videos. As is tradition, music’s biggest and brightest stars gather, mostly in their most outrageous designer looks, for a memorable night of festivities and live performances.

Hosted by LL Cool J, this year’s awards show will air in the US on CBS. It will also be simulcast on MTV and available to stream on Paramount+ Premium here in Australia.

As the celebrities continue to roll up to the carpet, you’ll have a front row seat to who of the fashion houses are taking precedence. Here we bring you all the biggest style moments from the night.

Giorgio Armani Brings The Archives To Life At Venice Film Festival https://www.marieclaire.com.au/fashion/red-carpet/giorgio-armani-venice-2025/ Mon, 01 Sep 2025 05:53:59 +0000 https://www.marieclaire.com.au/?p=1291989 Armani celebrates 50 years with a Venetian fête for the ages

Venice has always been a stage for cinema, spectacle, and serious fashion moments. Last night, Giorgio Armani claimed it as his own. To mark the launch of Armani/Archivio – a digital platform dedicated to the house’s extraordinary heritage – the designer gathered an audience of over five hundred for an exclusive UNICEF benefit dinner, followed by a glittering party at Tesa 113 of the Arsenale.

The guest list read like the ultimate front row: Cate Blanchett, Gemma Chan, Emilia Jones, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Sofia Carson, Rashida Jones, Nathalie Emmanuel, Leslie Bibb and Kaitlyn Dever, to name just a handful. Fashion’s rising stars mingled with Hollywood’s power players; Clara Luciani, Clara Galle and Greta Ferro rubbed shoulders with Margherita Buy and Miguel Ángel Silvestre. In true Venetian style, the evening blurred cinema, culture, and couture into one seamless narrative.

The launch of Armani/Archivio is more than just a retrospective. Developed for the fiftieth anniversary of the brand, the platform is a living, digital museum: fifty-seven looks from the house’s archive, now accessible to the public as well as Armani Group employees. Think of it as a time capsule – razor-sharp tailoring from the 1980s, whisper-soft eveningwear from the 1990s, all reborn for a new, digital-first audience.

In a nod to sustainability, Armani is also taking the archive off the screen and back into the world. A curated selection of iconic pieces will be made available in seven boutiques globally, embracing a circular approach that allows archival fashion to inspire – and be worn – again. 

Yet the night wasn’t only about fashion history. True to form, Armani used the occasion to give back. The event raised funds for UNICEF, with the designer pledging support to the Global Humanitarian Thematic Fund, which provides rapid aid in crises- be they conflicts, natural disasters, or epidemics – with a particular focus on children’s rights.

As the lights of Venice flickered on the water, it was clear Armani had orchestrated something bigger than a party. This was fashion as cultural memory, as philanthropy, as community. And in a season where spectacle often overshadows substance, Armani reminded us why legacy – and generosity – never go out of style.

Venice Film Festival 2025 has arrived and has already begun to deliver a refined red carpet narrative. Once again the Lido is expected to transform into fashion’s most coveted runway. On the heels of a chic summer festival circuit that saw red carpets from Cannes to Lacarno dominate headlines, Venice arrives as the season’s crowning style moment. Against the backdrop of gondolas and golden light, Hollywood’s biggest names are bringing their most memorable moments to the forefront.

From Amal Clooney’s butter yellow Balmain debut to Noomi Rapace in her signature paired back tailoring, the festival is already setting the tone for fashion’s biggest hit makers. This year’s biggest style moments are closely tied to the films generating the most buzz. Chief among them is Yorgos Lanthimos’s Bugonia, starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, which has already been tipped as the frontrunner for awards season.

The film’s premiere promises not only the classic intrigue consistent with Lathinmos’s work, but also some of the most-watched fashion moments of the festival, with Stone expected to deliver another custom Louis Vuitton look that cements her as one of the festival’s biggest it girls.

Before the premieres take over, the spotlight is on the arrivals. From custom gowns to bespoke accessories, the opening days of the 82nd Venice International Film Festival have already set the fashion agenda. Here are all the best looks so far.

The 65th TV Week Logie Awards return this Sunday, August 3, bringing with it all the glitz, glamour and gold statuettes we’ve come to expect from Australian television’s night of nights. But if we’re being honest, as much as we’re tuning in to celebrate the best of our small-screen talent, we’re also here for the 2025 Logies red carpet.

And who could blame us? Last year’s arrivals delivered a sartorial spectacle worthy of the event, with memorable looks from the likes of Missy Higgins, Juliet Godwin and Narelda Jacobs, so we’re expecting big things from the 2025 attendees.

Below, everything you need to know about the 2025 Logies, including when and where to watch all the biggest moments from the red carpet to the Gold Logie Award winner.

How To Watch The 2025 Logies In Australia

The 65th Annual TV WEEK Logie Awards are held on Sunday, August 3, live from The Star Sydney. Tune in from 7pm AEST (or earlier for the pre-ceremony carpet) to catch the event live on Channel 7, or stream it on 7plus. Don’t be late – those first few red carpet arrivals are often the best.

Who’s Nominated For The 2025 Gold Logie?

It’s another competitive lineup this year, with women representing six of the seven Gold Logie nominee spots, signalling a notable shift from the years prior.

This year’s contenders are:

  • Lynne McGranger
  • Lisa Millar

Nicole Kidman’s Best Red Carpet Looks Of All Time https://www.marieclaire.com.au/fashion/red-carpet/nicole-kidman-style-file/ Fri, 13 Jun 2025 01:52:43 +0000 https://www.marieclaire.com.au/nicole-kidman-style-file She knows how to turn heads

Since she first stepped out in an iconic chartreuse chinoiserie John Galliano for Dior gown at the 1997 Oscars (one of the first red carpet creations by the designer) Nicole Kidman has been serving memorable style moments that continue to cement her position atop best-dressed lists, for good.

Whether it’s that red Balenciaga gown with a striking large bow or the shimmering Gucci dress with feathered parrots, the Oscar-winning Australian actress has never been afraid to take risks, whether professionally or sartorially, and it’s this experimental approach that’s made Kidman into the style muse she is today.

Nailing everything from off-duty street style to red carpet glamour Nicole Kidman is seriously on the pulse when it comes to dressing – an undeniable factor in her longstanding ambassadorship with boundary-pushing maison, Balenciaga and more.

Still need convincing? Below, a look back at some of Kidman’s most memorable red carpet moments, from 1997 to now.

The 2025 American Music Awards have arrived bringing with them some of the most eccentric and unique red carpet looks of all the awards season.

As far as the awards ceremonies go, the AMAs bring a far more relaxed (not to be mistaken for casual) and uninhibited approach to red carpet dressing. Let’s just say, if there are rules, we don’t know of them.

Some of the most iconic pop culture red carpet moments stemmed from the American Music Awards red carpet. There was everyone’s favourite noughties couple-turned-fancy-dress costume, Brittney Spears and Justin Timberlake in denim on denim… on denim.

Then, came Lizzo with her impossibly tiny bag that spurred an entire micro mini bag movement.

And who can forget Pamela Anderson with now ex, Tommy Lee, who donned a semi sheer dress and the biggest hat to ever walk a red carpet.

This year, all eyes will be on Taylor Swift who is expected (or hoped) to make a ‘Reputation TV’ announcement. Will her outfit be filled with easter eggs? Fans are sure to promptly inform us.

Other 2025 AMA nominees we can’t wait to see include Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, Benson Boone, Shaboozey and Sabrina Carpenter.

Jennifer Lopez is also slated to host this year’s awards, and with the honour we expected at least a few outfit changes.

With the AMAs kicking off from 10 a.m. AEST in Australia, we’ll be watching closely, and sharing all the best red carpet looks right here.

The style set have descended upon the French Riviera for the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, and as expected, the red carpet arrivals are already serving runway-worthy looks.

Dating back to 1946, the Cannes Film Festival has long drawn the cultural attention of celebrities and cinephiles alike. But as the premiere event grew in popularity, so too did its reputation for the fashion that graced its iconic red carpet.

Now, as the A-listers and Hollywood heavyweights join Europe’s most notable creatives on the steps of the Palais des Festivals for the 78th iteration of the prestigious event, our attention switches – albeit briefly – to the return of Croisette style.

Although we’re promised a sartorial schedule as glittering as ever, the 2025 Cannes red carpet might look a little different, as celebrities and their stylists were thrown a couture curve ball by way of a last-minute dress code update. However, as history tells us, guests are rarely bothered by the strict dress codes or formal fashion rules handed down by the committee, so we doubt we’ll be seeing a dialled down version of past years.

The festival, which runs from May 13-24, will kick off with a welcome from this year’s jury, comprising Juliette Binoche, Halle Berry, Jeremy Strong, Alba Rohrwacher, Payal Kapadia, Leila Slimani, Dieudo Hamadi, Hong Sangsoo, and Carlos Reygadas. And, with an array of highly-anticipated films and directorial debuts from the likes of Scarlett Johansson (Eleanor The Great), Kristen Stewart (The Chronology of Water), Jennifer Lawrence (Die, My Love) and everyone’s favourite future-Beetle, Harris Dickinson (Urchin), there’s plenty to look forward to.

So, as the starts take their seats in the Soixantième theatre, we round up the very best red carpet moments from Cannes 2025, so far.

Whitney Peak’s Met Gala Gown Took 385 Hours to Make – and It Was Inspired by the Women Who Shaped Her https://www.marieclaire.com.au/fashion/whitney-peaks-met-gala-2025-chanel/ Mon, 19 May 2025 23:55:29 +0000 https://www.marieclaire.com.au/?p=1281806 Her most personal Chanel look yet

When Whitney Peak thinks of the first Monday in May, she can’t help but think of Chanel. She already has two Chanel Met Gala red carpet looks on her style résumé before the 2025 instalment on May 5. Her first was a long-sleeved, tiered gown for 2021’s “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion” event. Then came a tulle camellia confection and pearlescent nails for “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” in 2023.

“The first time I was 18, so I was kind of coming in very fresh,” the actress reflects hours before walking the Metropolitan Museum’s steps for a third time, in celebration of “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” “I feel like the more times that we work together, I feel almost more freedom to experiment, to play a little bit.”

The 2025 Met Gala red carpet culminated in Peak’s most personal Chanel look yet. She says she didn’t necessarily “take a risk,” but she was more vocal in deciding how the “Tailored for You” dress code, honouring the style legacy of Black dandies from the 19th century to the present, would be tailored for her.

She landed on an entirely custom outfit crafted over 385 hours at Chanel’s Maisons d’art. The basis was look 36 from the house’s Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2025 collection—which the Sunrise on the Reaping star’s input transformed into a custom dress made from raspberry crêpe and mousseline. It flows into an asymmetrical buttoned skirt with black sequin tweed, and comes topped with a braided jacket (plus, a jaunty tweed hat).

“I’m happy with where we landed because it’s kind of a balance,” Peak explains. “It’s classic and it’s tasteful and it’s made for me and it’s colourful. I feel like it’s a good representation of where I am in my life and how I want to play with fashion.”

While the shimmering black tweed and tied bow blouse are steeped in Chanel‘s DNA, Peak wove references to the matriarchs in her life into the look as well. “It’s just very heavily inspired by the women that have inspired my life and my sense of fashion,” she says. Some of the nods come from her personal history: Peak mentions how her mother and grandmother dressed for family occasions when she was younger, elegant and regal.

Reflecting on the sweeping history of Black dandyism at this year’s Met Gala, she also sought to pay homage to legends like Eartha Kitt and Josephine Baker. “They would have these beautiful, very overly feminine and extravagant looks, but then they would also wear a very well-fitting suit and a little hat and have like a cigar coming out, you know what I mean?”

Peak selected Chanel high jewellery and a never-before-seen watch with a personal philosophy: “I just wanted to feel powerful and confident. So anything that I saw or that I put on that made me feel that way, I was like, yeah, this is it.”

She chose Lune Talisman Buttons earrings in 18k gold, along with a stunning ring that combines 18k white gold, 18k yellow gold, diamonds, sapphires, garnets, and Japanese cultured pearl. Her Première Galon watch, set in 18k gold with a braided motif bracelet, won’t be available in stores until October 2025—an extra-luxurious complement to her custom dress.

The focus turned back to legendary women in fashion history when it came time to add the finishing hair and makeup touches. Makeup artist Tyron Machhausen looked back at Pat Cleveland and Diana Ross to craft a ’70s glam moment that softened around Peak’s eyes and created a dewy effect on her skin. “The focus of this look was the lip. A deep, glossy lip always feels luxurious to me—bold, but still wearable,” he says. “I chose a rich shade, with a high-shine finish, to channel that sense of drama and indulgence.”

Hairstylist Naeemah Lafond emphasized the placement of the tweed Chanel hat, with Peak’s hair cascading over her shoulders behind her, revealing only a glimpse of a braided kiss curl on her cheek. “I just wanted to have a little more drama and the hat definitely served in that category,” Peak says.

Peak was just as excited to take in the new Met Gala exhibit as she was to debut her custom Chanel look. The nods to historic Black figures in her outfit were only the beginning—”Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” traces a centuries-long legacy. “It feels like such a celebration of our culture and our people and our influence on fashion,” she says. “And for people that aren’t Black, it’s an opportunity to educate yourself and to actually learn and be curious about how Black people have influenced today’s culture, time and time again. I just think it’s a great conversation to open up.”

Cannes Fashion Rules Were Made To Be Broken https://www.marieclaire.com.au/fashion/red-carpet/cannes-film-festival-fashion-rules/ Tue, 13 May 2025 07:31:35 +0000 https://www.marieclaire.com.au/?p=1281031 Just ask these red carpet rebels

The post Cannes Fashion Rules Were Made To Be Broken appeared first on marie claire.

As the 2025 Cannes Film Festival kicks off today, all eyes are on the red carpet – and not just for the couture. In a move that feels more Regency-era than Riviera-ready, the festival has announced new regulations that explicitly ban nudity and overly voluminous silhouettes. The official dress code, issued via the organisation’s charter just days prior to guest arrivals, doubles down on Cannes’ longstanding reputation for sartorial conservatism.

“For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as in any other area of the festival,” the code reads with an added stipulation against “Voluminous outfits, in particular those with a large train, that hinder the proper flow of traffic of guests and complicate seating in the theatre are not permitted.” In other words – no naked dress, no frothy tulle faux pas, and no fun?

While the festival has always held itself to an air of European elegance, it could be argued that these latest regulations were penned in direct response to Bianca Censori and Kanye West’s sartorial shock and awe strategy at this year’s Grammys. Or, it could simply be a push against the naked dress trend that holds celebrities in a couture chokehold.

Whether it’s sheer gowns that cause a stir, or figure-hugging creations covered in barely-there beading so delicately placed it could make Grace Kelly blush, the committee have made it clear that anyone not playing by the Cannes fashion rules will be prohibited from walking the red carpet.

Whatever the festival’s raison d’être for insisting on such guidelines, such stipulations are hardly nouveau when it comes to the iconic Croisette of Cannes.

For decades, actors, models and provocateurs have used that same staircase to protest, challenge and subvert the Cannes fashion rules imposed upon them – sometimes silently, sometimes in stilettos, and sometimes in no shoes at all. In banning naked dressing in 2025, the festival appears to be reacting not just to shifting tastes, but to how fashion is being used. When style becomes a statement, it also becomes harder to control – and thus the tension between traditional notions of “appropriate” red carpet attire and its regulation of the female form, continues.

So What Exactly Are The Cannes Film Festival Fashion Rules?

As per the committee’s charter, guests attending any Grand Théâtre Lumière screenings must adhere to the following:

  • Evening wear consisting of: “A little black dress”, a cocktail dress, or, a “dark-coloured pantsuit, a dressy top with black pants,” for women.
  • For men: A tuxedo in black or navy with bow-tie or “dark-coloured” tie.
  • Shoes: Must be “elegant” and can be sandals “with or without a heel.”
  • Bags: Tote-bags, backpacks or large bags are prohibited.
  • Voluminous outfits: “In particular those with a large train.”
  • No taking personal photographs and/or selfies on the red carpet.
  • Naked dresses: “For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited.”

Our Favourite Risqué Red Carpet Moments At Cannes

Below, a brief history of the most controversial moments to grace the Cannes Film Festival red carpet over the years.

Trinh received significant criticism – and the threat of a fine – from those in her home country, with many on social media calling the dress “sexually explicit”, “gross” and “weird”. The model-designer, however, was refreshingly unapologetic about her Cannes ensemble. “I’ve got a lot of praise for my outfit. I don’t care if people criticise it because I felt pretty in the dress, which made a good impression on the Cannes red carpet,” she reportedly told VNEexpress at the time.

Love A Good Reinvention? Kamala Harris Just Gave Us One At The Met Gala https://www.marieclaire.com.au/fashion/kamala-harris-met-gala-2025-debut/ Wed, 07 May 2025 01:43:58 +0000 https://www.marieclaire.com.au/?p=1280537 She wore the moment

The post Love A Good Reinvention? Kamala Harris Just Gave Us One At The Met Gala appeared first on marie claire.

]]>
On Monday night, the former Vice President of the United States made her Met Gala debut. Draped in a sculptural black-and-white Off-White gown designed by IB Kamara, Harris didn’t just show up, she showed out. Harris was flanked by husband Doug Emhoff in a classic Brunello Cucinelli tux. The theme, “Tailored for You,” tied to the Costume Institute’s latest exhibition Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, couldn’t have been more fitting. The exhibition celebrates the legacy of Black dandyism as self-determination, resistance, and power through personal style – an ethos Harris embodied to perfection. 

Kamala Harris Makes Met Gala Debut in Off-White Gown 

Her gown featured pleated silks, a sweeping scarf, and a singular statement sleeve. It wasn’t loud (it didn’t need to be). “Artistic expression – whether it’s dance, music, visual arts, or fashion – has a way of capturing the mood and language of the people without words,” she told Vogue. “Art has the power to shape the conversation about where we are today and where we need to go.” 

It was more than just a fashion moment – it was a reintroduction. After a 2024 presidential campaign that saw Harris lose her bid for the White House, the former VP had quietly stepped away from the spotlight. Would she run for governor of California? Would she make another White House play in 2028? Or would she opt out entirely? 

Why Kamala Harris’s Met Gala Look Was More Than Just a Style Statement 

That’s always been the trick with the Met Gala. Ostensibly a fundraiser for the Costume Institute, it is, in truth, America’s most scrutinized cultural pageant, where celebrities, tastemakers, and occasionally politicians use clothing to stake a claim in the zeitgeist. Hillary Clinton did it in 2022 with her Altuzarra gown embroidered with the names of iconic women. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made headlines when she wore her “Tax the Rich” dress in 2021. Even Ronald Reagan made an appearance in 1977 between jobs. 

Kamala Harris’s Evolution Through Fashion 

Harris has long embraced fashion as a form of messaging. Her campaign trail Converse. Her suffragette white. And now, post-office, she appears ready to speak fluently in the language of style again. On her look, Off-White founder Kamara commented: “The true core of dandyism is rooted in confidence and strength,” he said. “There is no person who exemplifies these characteristics more than Kamala D. Harris.” 

Her attendance was a very welcome reminder. Harris is still here. Still watching. Still considering. And maybe, still plotting her return.

The 2025 Met Gala might be over for another year, but that doesn’t mean the celebrations are anywhere close to ending. When it comes to fashion’s night-of-nights, the red carpet reveals are just the beginning. Where the magic really happens, is well after-dark, when the formalities shift into frivolity and guests slip into Met Gala after-party mode.

Of course, for most of the Met Gala attendees (plus some extras who missed out on the main event) a new venue means a fresh new look.

While celebrities must adhere to the strict rules and no-phone policy inside the Met, no such constraints apply to the A-listers seeking solace in one of many star-studded events held from dusk till dawn and our social feeds are all the better for it.

From awkward run-ins with exes, to sweet couple moments, there’s always a story (or two) to share from behind-the-scenes of the first Monday in May. And, with stars often trading their formal attire for edgier ensembles, the Met Gala after party looks never fail to deliver on the fashion front, either.

Past years have brought the drama, and with this year’s theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” leaning into a “Tailored For You” dress code, there’s no telling where the celebrities might take their post-event attire.

As we wait with baited breath for the style set to descend upon the streets of NYC for the next round of star-studded soirees, here are all the best Met Gala after party looks worth noting.

The post Every Show-Stopping Look From The 2025 Met Gala Red Carpet appeared first on marie claire.

]]>
The 2025 Met Gala is finally here and the red carpet arrivals are taking to the infamous steps as we speak. So, cancel your plans, call in sick and ready the group chat because your full and undivided attention is required. 

For fashion subscribers, the avant-garde theatrics of the Met Gala red carpet makes the first Monday of May one of the most hotly anticipated days in the sartorial calendar. 

Only adding to the lead up is the pre-event speculation over who will make it onto the guestlist and how will they interpret this year’s theme? 

The notoriously secretive event rarely reveals such things before the red carpet begins, let alone what actually happens inside the Met Gala main event. 

The 2025 Met Gala Theme On The Red Carpet 

Of course, we can hazard a guess as to what this year’s red carpet will entail based on the theme ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’ and dress code ‘Tailored For You’. 

We’re expecting plenty of nods to the work that inspired the exhibition, Monica L.Miller’s 2009 book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity infused with tailoring and menswear.

Also central to this year’s theme is Black Dandyism. The sartorial and style movement was led by figures such as figures like Beau Brummell in 18th-century Britain and sought to move away from aristocratic fashion to instead favour sharp tailoring and refined grooming.  

2025 Met Gala Red Carpet Looks

While much of the guest lists remains under wraps until celebrities begin walking the red carpet, there are a few key stars confirmed prior. We’re expecting this year’s co-chairs Lewis Hamilton, Colman Domingo, Pharrell Williams and A$AP Rocky to don their finest on-theme ‘fits.

Then, there’s the host committee including Ayo Edebiri who has recently been channeling ‘90s Julia Roberts with her red carpet looks and Tyla, whose Balmain sands of time look made for one of the best 2024 outfits.

As the event unfolds, we’re rounding up the best 2025 Met Gala red carpets looks below.

The post Blackpink’s Lisa Makes Her Glittering Met Gala 2025 Debut appeared first on marie claire.

What’s the Met Gala without some serious contenders for red carpet rookie of the year? And with her debut appearance already making headlines, Lisa is in strong contention for the 2025 Met Gala 2025 style standout.

How could she not be? It’s been a year of firsts for Lisa. Her first Coachella set. Her first solo album. Her first acting credit in The White Lotus, and now – her first Met Gala red carpet.

Naturally, a moment of this magnitude demands a look worthy of its surroundings, and with a “Tailored For You” dress code to work with, the K-Pop starlet certainly got to work.

Donning an all-black Louis Vuitton look by Men’s Creative Director (and Met co-chair) Pharrell Williams to the 2025 Met Gala, accessorised with Bulgari jewellery, Lisa opted for a boned basque jacket embellished with crystal-encrusted buttons.

Look a little closer and the true artistry reveals itself in the black lace encrustation rendering an artwork by artist Henry Taylor overlaid with the Louis Vuitton Flower Monogram.

While the blazer was the star of the show, her bottom half did a lot of heavy lifting, showing off her legs in the same logo-adorned stockings as Pharrell Williams’ partner, Helen Lasichanh, revealing a cheeky set of matching crystal underwear.

The K-Pop star opted for sky-high black satin stilettos to round out the look with a messy blonde up-do completing the come-hither couture moment.

And for the accessory aficionados playing along at home, Lisa chose a Speedy P9 Bandoulière 20 evening bag adorned with hand-encrusted pearl Monogram to top it all off.

While 2025 marks the first Met Gala appearance for Lisa, her Blackpink bandmates Jennie (who’s on her third trip to the esteemed event) and Rosé, are also in attendance – although we’re holding out hope for a group shot still to come.

The post Is Zendaya Giving Us A Bridal-Style Hint With Her Met Gala Look? appeared first on marie claire.

]]>
Zendaya has taken to the Met Gala 2025 red carpet with another show-stopping look, proving there’s more than one way to make an entrance.

The Euphoria actress recently became engaged to her Spiderman co-star, Tom Holland, debuting her stunning engagement ring on the Golden Globes red carpet. And, for this year’s gala – the queen of the red carpet – and bride-to-be, might just be offering up a glimpse of what we could expect to see once the wedding bells chime.

Zendaya worked with her long-time stylist and Image Architect Law Roach to channel this year’s theme: ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’ and dress code ‘Tailored For You’.

It saw the star dressed in a suitably dapper look, donning a custom cream Louis Vuitton suit by Men’s Creative Director Pharrell Williams. The three-piece, single-breasted tuxedo comprising of falred trouser, sharp blazer and matching waistcoat was perfectly tailored and accented with a tie, Speedy P9 Bandoulière 10 evening bag hand-encrusted with pearls set and wide brim felt hat.

“Created for Zendaya by Men’s Creative Director Pharrell Williams, the tailleur echoes the superfine spirit of Black Dandyism and its zoot suits in the statuesque female adaptation of classic men’s tailoring in the 1980s, the era’s notion of power-dressing, and the suit-centric fashion photography that captured it. The hat reimagines the fedoras worn with men’s suits by Black female artists who trailblazed the rhythm-and-blues fusion with rock ‘n’ roll in the 1970s,” the Maison says of the Zendaya’s look.

The 28-year-old kept her makeup golden and glowy with a subtle metallic sheen to her lip and soft smokey eye.

Sadly for us, Zendaya and Tom upheld their tradition of walking the red carpet separately. And, much to fans surprise, the actress also appeared on the red carpet without Law Roach.

The creative duo have previously appeared alongside one another at various major events, including their iconic 2019 Met Gala red carpet arrival which saw Zendaya don a Cinderella-esque gown while Roach took on the role of Fairy Godmother with a wand and smoke.

However, Roach revealed earlier this year that they planned to arrive separately for the 2025 Met Gala.

“We are going to be on the Met Gala steps,” Law told E! News’ The Rundown, adding: “Yes, separately this year.”

“That’s going to be really amazing,” he continued. “We’re doing our own thing this year which is exciting.”

Stars have already begun making their way to the Oscars after party. Those who aren’t at the Academy Awards itself, started filing in early in their formal finest.

The awards themselves brought a number of show stopping looks to the red carpet, including Demi Moore in Armani Privé, Emma Stone in Louis Vuitton and Margaret Qualley in Chanel.

Now, as is tradition, the stars have switched it up for the after party, donning a new round of dresses and gowns to kick off the celebrations.

While there is more than one Oscars after party, the largest (and most star-studded) tends to be the Vanity Fair Oscars after party, held at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills.

Here are some of the best looks from the Vanity Fair Oscars After Party, 2025.

The post Demi Moore’s Best Red Carpet Moments To Date appeared first on marie claire.

]]>
After rising to fame following a break-through role in indie cult classic St Elmo’s Fire in 1985, Demi Moore has continued to capture the hearts of fans around the world. And as her star became brighter, so too did her red carpet looks, topping best-dressed lists throughout her celebrated career. Now, 40 years later, her sartorial legacy has never been stronger.

Tracing her storied career from decade to decade, it’s impossible to ignore the integral part she’s played in some of cinema’s most iconic moments.

From breaking hearts in Ghost, to taking names in the ground-breaking G.I Jane, Moore’s professional repertoire reads like an excerpt from the Hollywood hall of fame with red carpet moments to match.

Fresh off the heels of her awards season campaign for body horror film, The Substance, Demi Moore is enjoying a style renaissance, or rather, a renewed place in the sartorial spotlight and we’re here for it.

Scroll down for decades of red carpet fashion inspiration courtesy of our favourite “popcorn actress”, Demi Moore.

First-time Oscars attendees are rarely known for making a sartorial statement, but true to Demi Moore’s larger-than-life personality, the newly-minted actress opted for a DIY dress that turned heads and topped global lists for the most memorable looks of the night. Whatever you think of the star’s homemade mullet dress, there’s something to be said for a celebrity who’s willing to take fashion risks – regardless of the outcome.

Rarely do we get to see stars that are brave enough to wear red on the red carpet, but for Demi Moore, opting for this scarlet Armani Privé gown was a stroke of sartorial genius. Especially, said stylish Brad Goreski, because of its subtle take on method dressing.

“I’d been dying to get her into Armani Privé, because the silhouettes and the quality of the craftsmanship make sense,” said Goreski. “When I got that gown, I was like, ‘Oh, this is the blood. You showing up in bright red is just starting off your moment with this movie and the blood and the gore. She’s like, ‘Oh, this is great. I love it.’”

We’re not biased but our favourite awards season red carpet is undoubtedly the Oscars. 

The Academy Awards marks the end of the awards season calendar, and typically, the star-studded guest list saves their best red carpet look for last.

Now in its 97th year, there’s been no shortage of impeccable Oscars style, with every frock being chosen with purpose and intent throughout the years.

From Audrey Hepburn’s 1955 dress by Hubert de Givenchy which marked the beginning of a beautiful friendship to Angelina Jolie’s velvet Atelier Versace dress with show-stopping thigh-high split, every Oscars look has the potential to become iconic.

With Demi Moore, Cynthia Erivo, Mikey Madison, Ariana Grande and Zoe Saldaña all nominated this year, we’re particularly excited to see what the Oscar-hopefuls wear. 

Already we’ve seen both Ariana and Cynthia stars channel their Wicked alter egos to perfection on this year’s red carpets as well as incredible looks from Best Actress front-runner, Demi.

As the red carpet arrivals begin, we’re seeing a considerable amount of shimmer from Mindy Kaling’s textured silver gown to Rachel Sennott’s diamont pink number.

Watch The Red Carpet Arrivals Live 

If you’re wanting to tune in and see all the red carpet arrivals for yourself as they happen, the Oscars red carpet will be live streamed on Channel 7, 7Plus and Disney+ from March 3rd from 9.30am AEDT.

The Academy Awards has long played a leading role in delivering moments of cultural influence that few events can rival. From momentous speeches to iconic backstage encounters, Oscars history is filled with markers of social and political significance that remain as relevant today, as they did back then.

Nowhere is this more evident than in the sartorial statements made over the last 97 years.

From glamorous gowns to statement frocks, every Oscars dress is chosen with purpose and intent. And – as author Dijanna Mulhearn writes in her historical tome Red Carpet Oscars – impact that goes beyond surface level to reflect the styles, and values, of that era.

Offering a rare glimpse behind the scenes of Oscars history, Mulhearn reveals the enduring legacy of Hollywood’s most famous red carpet, sharing the stories behind some of the most significant looks from the last 97 years.

Red Carpet Moments That Made Oscars History

Bette Davis (1936)

After being initially overlooked for the previous year’s award, Bette Davis was finally acknowledged by the Academy and chose to make a visual statement in what would be the first example of “protest dressing”.

She arrived “unsuitably gowned” in Orry-Kelly intending to look like something “the hired help” would wear.

Hattie McDaniel (1940)

Winner of Best Supporting Actress and the first African American to receive an Oscar, McDaniel was forced to enter the “whites only” hotel by a different door and sit at a segregated table.

McDaniel stood proudly for all African Americans with gardenias (said to be a symbol of purity) on the turquoise beaded jacket that matched her gown. Hollywood columnist Louella Parsons described her as “up to the queen’s taste” as she delivered a heartfelt acceptance speech to rapturous applause.

Audrey Hepburn (1955)

Performing Ondine on Broadway on the evening of the awards, Audrey Hepburn was rushed across town with a police escort just in time to accept the Oscar for Best Actress. The fit-and-flare shape and open back of her deceptively simple lace organdie dress were designed to frame her fine upper features and shapely shoulders, while the flowing skirt softened her strong dancer’s legs and diminished what she called her “big feet”.

It was the first time she’d been seen in a dress by Hubert de Givenchy, and so began their devoted friendship and collaboration, which marked the beginning of the designer/celebrity affiliation.

Julie Christie (1966)

The first woman to wear pants to accept an Oscar, Christie and a friend made her gold lamé jumpsuit from a commercial pattern. The homemade outfit encapsulated the Youthquake movement, appealing to a young American audience poised to reject a conformist society. 

Time magazine would go on to state that as a symbol of her generation, Christie was more influential than the “ten best-dressed women combined”.

Sacheen Littlefeather (1973)

Marlon Brando won Best Actor for a second time and asked Apache/Yaqui actor Sacheen Littlefeather (also known as Marie Cruz) to reject it on his behalf. She mounted the stage in a genuine Apache buckskin dress to demonstrate against the clichéd “treatment of American Indians … by the film industry”.

Cher (1986)

Cher’s red-carpet style had always been highly anticipated, but this revealing punk-meets-showgirl creation by Bob Mackie topped them all.

Deeply disappointed the Academy had not acknowledged her performance in Mask, Cher wanted to prove she still had it at 40, and instructed Mackie to go wild with a design that would make her impossible to ignore.

Having stolen the spotlight, Cher eclipsed every other star at the ceremony and her ensemble continues to be regarded as one of the most iconic Oscar outfits of all time.

Sharon Stone (1998)

Sharon Stone (pictured with then-husband Phil Bronstein) wrote her own rules on red-carpet fashion, wearing a satin Vera Wang skirt with a simple white button-down Gap shirt. The unorthodox pairing redefined modern glamour, making it more attainable, and catapulted the classic white shirt to the forefront of fashion must-haves.

Gwyneth Paltrow (1999)

The winner of the Best Actress Oscar, Gwyneth Paltrow epitomised the all-American sweetheart in a taffeta ball gown by the foremost fashion purveyor of instant American classics, Ralph Lauren.

The dress arrived slightly too big and Paltrow was slammed by the media for her fashion faux pas, but it only served to enhance the image of a delicate, youthful actress humbled to have made a big splash in Hollywood.

Anne Hathaway (2009)

Through this decade there was one woman who revolutionised the modern red carpet: Rachel Zoe. The LA stylist had become a celebrity in her own right, building her brand with a television show and an army of online devotees. She was responsible for many A-listers’ looks, including Best Actress nominee Anne Hathaway’s custom Giorgio Armani champagne column gown.

Inspired by “Shanghai in the ’30s” and merging screen siren with sea siren, it was lined in Swarovski crystals, the round paillettes shimmering with pearly iridescence and graduating from tiny circles that increased in size as they spiralled diagonally around the body, accentuating Hathaway’s curves before pooling at her feet.

Angelina Jolie (2012)

Angelina Jolie showcased her sumptuous velvet Atelier Versace dress by playfully thrusting her leg out of the thigh-high split. The pose went viral and launched a thousand memes.

Along with then-husband, Best Actor nominee Brad Pitt, the power couple dominated the media and Jolie’s pose became part of popular culture.

Jane Fonda (2018)

The Oscars capped off an awards season that saw women band together and speak up against sexual harassment and abuse in the entertainment business. Led by the godmother of Hollywood protests, Jane Fonda, many sported a Time’s Up pin to show support.

Billy Porter (2019)

A chance meeting with Christian Siriano inspired Billy Porter to take a stand in a tuxedo gown that embraced the gender fluidity dominating the social agenda. The velvet jacket, white shirt and black bow tie typical of a traditional gentleman were seamlessly combined with a classically feminine silhouette.

It was “a walking piece of political art” that sought tolerance and said, “I am not a drag queen, I’m a man in a dress.”

Kristen Stewart, Timothée Chalamet & Zendaya (2022)

Young Hollywood’s biggest stars took the reins to redefining the red carpet in a way not seen since the late 1960s youth movement, and skin was definitely in.

Dressed in Valentino, Zendaya’s cropped silk collared shirt had many recalling Sharon Stone’s 1998 look.

Another star not bound by red-carpet rules, Kristen Stewart mixed rebellion with the elegance of Chanel, styling her haute shorts suit with an open shirt.

Timothée Chalamet showed himself to be Hollywood’s leading male fashion icon, bucking gender-specific clothing in a sequinned black Louis Vuitton jacket with lace trim plucked from the spring 2022 womenswear runway.
