From garish tuxedos to tinfoil-esque gowns, not everyone was a fashion winner at the 2025 Academy Awards on Sunday.
This awards season red carpet style has witnessed an ode to old Hollywood glamour, with many stars encapsulating the aesthetic of the 1950s with bouffant hair, understated couture, satin galore, and crystal-encrusted designs.
And while some celebrities dazzled in their ensembles at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, others opted for bold statements that sparked widespread debate online.
For instance, fans weren’t convinced about Cynthia Erivo’s high-collared dress, which drew comparisons to a cartoon vampire. Others, like Margaret Qualley, drew criticism for failing to take any risks in what was considered a plain outfit.
