The 2025 Governors Awards Red Carpet Was a Preview of the Oscars Fashion Race

The Oscars are still months away, but the race to the Academy Awards on March 15 continued to heat up last night at the 2025 Governors Awards. Held at the Ray Dolby Ballroom in Los Angeles, the 16th annual event presented Academy Honorary Awards to Debbie Allen, Tom Cruise, and Wynn Thomas and the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award to Dolly Parton.
Stars of this year’s buzziest films—many of them, sure to earn an Oscar nomination come January—hit the red carpet for a preview of the 2026 awards season. Hamnet breakout Jessie Buckley wore a seriously sleek ensemble from The Row. Jennifer Lawrence had a Greek goddess moment in custom Dior, while her close friend and Bugonia star, Emma Stone, slipped into an off-the-shoulder Louis Vuitton stunner. Frankenstein co-stars Jacob Elordi, wearing Bottega Veneta and Cartier jewels, and Mia Goth, in princess blue Dior by Jonathan Anderson, brought the glamour. And just days before Wicked: For Good finally hits theaters, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo had yet another opportunity to hone their Glinda and Elphaba style. They stunned in archival Dior by John Galliano and Sarah Burton’s Givenchy, respectively. Also in attendance were the likes of Dakota Johnson, Elle Fanning Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lopez, Kristen Stewart, and Michael B. Jordan.
