The Oscars may be the biggest night in film, but this awards show is not for the faint of heart. The ceremony typically clocks in at three and a half hours — and if you’re on the East Coast, that means you can expect to go to bed around midnight. And of course the Academy saves the best for last, announcing the winner for Best Picture as the final award of the evening.

But the Oscars fashion — now, that’s another story. You don’t need to have seen the nominated films in order to appreciate the dazzling looks that parade down the red carpet. It’s a time when you can sit back, relax, and appreciate designer duds while you’re chilling in the comfort of sweatpants. The Oscars red carpet never disappoints, so here’s a recap of our favorite looks from 2025.
