Award season has officially wrapped, with the Oscars bringing the final curtain down last night.
From Demi Moore’s groundbreaking Best Actress win at the Critics’ Choice—making her the oldest woman to win the category—to Zoe Saldaña’s historic Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, this season was filled with firsts. Paul Tazewell also made history, becoming the first Black man to win the Oscar for Best Costume Design.
But let’s be real—award season is about more than just trophies. It’s a months-long fashion spectacle that sets the tone for red carpet trends and serves as the ultimate prelude to the Met Gala. And this year? Hollywood brought its A-game.
This season saw a resurgence of gothic romance, with sheer lace, corsetry, and moody tones making a statement. The “naked dress” trend continued, but with a fresh take—think ethereal sheers with intricate embellishments. Meanwhile, liquid metallics dominated, with stars shimmering in sculpted gold and silver ensembles that looked almost fluid.
It wasn’t just about what was worn, but who was wearing it. The red carpet felt more inclusive than ever, with a wider range of body types, gender-fluid styling, and designers embracing a broader spectrum of beauty and identity.
The 2025 award season didn’t just deliver—it redefined red carpet culture.
Here are some of the most unforgettable fashion moments from this season:

As the dust settles on award season, one thing is clear—Hollywood didn’t just show up; it showed out. From record-breaking wins to red carpet risks that actually paid off, this season gave us moments we’ll be referencing (and debating) for years to come. Now, with the Met Gala on the horizon, the only question left is: how do you top this?
