The 2025 Oscars red carpet showcased an array of traditional and conservative fashion choices that echoed classic Hollywood styles, lacking the vibrant creativity often expected from such events. With the backdrop of significant sociopolitical turmoil, including high-profile controversies, the evening's aesthetics seemed to reflect a reluctance to embrace risk and innovation. Few standout trends emerged, with some dresses offering a more modest and demure look while failing to resonate as symbols of resilience or creativity during challenging times. The opportunity for fashion to inspire was largely missed amidst this conservative display.
This year's red-carpet fashion skewed traditional and tame, endlessly referencing old-Hollywood looks and classic silhouettes with precious little playfulness to freshen the vibe.
Creative lights can be a beacon in dark times, yet the gorgeous-yet-bloodless gowns missed the opportunity to remind us of this fact.
