Elle Fanning's appearance at the 2025 Oscars was nothing short of ethereal. The actress, who stars in Best Picture nominee A Complete Unknown, made her Academy Awards debut while wearing a look fit for a princess as she walked the red carpet at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday,

Sarah Burton took inspiration for Elle Fanning’s 2025 Oscars dress from Hubert de Givenchy’s first collection.

Among the most notable looks? Ariana Grande in a custom Schiaparelli gown that resembles a sparkly pink waterfall (or maybe an umbrella), Elle Fanning in a retro gown that drew comparisons to Grace Kelly, and Demi Moore in custom Armani Privé.

Demi Moore in sparkling Armani Privé, Elle Fanning in Sarah Burton's inaugural haute-couture look for Givenchy, and Cynthia Erivo's dramatic Louis Vuitton gown were among the night's style highlights.

The Academy Awards reports that last year’s acting category winners Emma Stone ( Poor Things ), Da’Vine Joy Randolph ( The Holdovers ), Robert Downey Jr. ( Oppenheimer ), and Cillian Murphy ( Oppenheimer ), will all return to the Dolby Theatre stage to present tomorrow.

There is perhaps nobody better suited to usher in Sarah Burton’s new era at Givenchy than Elle Fanning – and no better occasion than the 2025 Oscars. Today, for the 97th Academy Awards, Fanning wears the designer’s first-ever custom haute couture look as creative director of the storied French house.

Academy Award winner Halle Berry was a vision at the 2025 Oscars in a mirrored Christian Siriano gown and sleek, side-parted bob with a playful flip. The star of The Substance wore a showstopping rolled updo to the 2025 Oscars that played nicely off her black Chanel column gown.
