Writer’s Choice | “Best Dressed” at The Oscars 2025
Entertainment’s biggest night was this Sunday, The 97th Academy Awards. The Oscars are a celebration of this past year's biggest films and also a closing to the 2024-2025 beloved award season. As always, it is my annual job to bring light to one of the best parts of any award show, red carpet looks. Here are my best dressed, for the Oscars 2025 (in no particular order)....
Colman Domingo
No best dressed list is ever done right without Colman Domingo. Celebrating his much deserved Oscar nomination for his lead role in ‘Sing, Sing’, he absolutely slays this custom Maison Valentino look created by Alessandro Michele. The fred shantung silk double-breasted tailored jacket with black lapel, black wool trousers and a red shantung silk guru collar shirt separates Colman yet again, from the rest with creativity and flair. The belt with tassels closed at the waist and the Maison Boucheron jewelry were the perfect completion to this fly ensemble. Constantly serving looks for the men of Hollywood.
Demi Moore
Closing out a successful award season for her lead role in ‘The Substance’, Demi wore a custom Giorgi Armani gown. Her best look of the entire award season, a glitter indulged silver gown with a statement silver bracelet and her classic long black hair showing age is nothing but a number.
Cynthia Erivo
Big dresses for an even bigger evening are always a yes! Miss Erivo stunned as per usual, this time in a dark green Louis Vutton dress that was the cherry on top to the jaw dropping series of looks that came throughout the Wicked press tour. It was only right to go out with, as she says. “a nod to Oz and old Hollywood”, bowing down to our Elphaba.
Selena Gomez
Gotta keep an eye out for selenurrr (and her red carpet looks). This custom stunning, blush beaded Ralph Lauren gown was the perfect way to close out the award season for Miss Gomez as she has been serving a consistent but fresh, old Hollywood glam style every weekend. Simple structure with a rich elegance touch.
Halle Berry
While Berry was not not on the list of this year’s nominees she did present an award and remind us of her greatness and impact on a high glam red carpet.Shutting it down in this mirrored crystal dress by Christian Siriano. Made from 7,000 mirrored crystals, the dress featured a corseted bodice and a mermaid-style maxi skirt with a train in the back. A metallic aesthetic with a modern elegance twist.
Raye
Saved this beauty for last. One of the many star studded performers of the night, Raye epitomized classic glamour in this red sweeping, custom Vivienne Westwood gown. The corset-style dress with off the shoulder sleeves and a ruffled skirt, a special look ahead of her very special performance.
