We Discovered the Next Major Bridal Trend at the 2025 Oscars, and It’s Simply Too Stunning to Ignore

The gown Cynthia Erivo wore for her performance at The 97th Academy Awards could have easily been just another elegant white dress. However, the cascading 3D flowers that were draped like a delicate waterfall helped transform this look from classically beautiful to whimsically gorgeous. The flowers looked alive with every movement Erivo made, and they were the main reason we simply couldn’t take our eyes off of her gown. Of course, the attention to detail in her look was exquisite, and the subtle nod to Elphaba with the green-dipped hemline certainly didn’t go unnoticed.

Erivo’s dress hails from Vivienne Westwood, and it was clearly inspired by the late designer’s Spring/Summer 1997 collection, which also featured a similar white ballgown with flowers cascading over its skirt. With the nostalgic ’90s aspect of the look, there’s no doubt that Erivo’s gown will only fuel the growing floral wedding dress trend. In fact, 3D florals have already made waves in bridal fashion, with designers like Ines Di Santo and Monique Lhuillier embracing the trend, but Erivo’s dreamy interpretation is bound to result in an even bigger moment for fun, colorful flower embellishments on classic bridal gowns. After all, who wouldn’t want to become their own bouquet?

Ultimately, this is the perfect choice for any spring or summer wedding, and if you’re like us, you’ll want to still hold a bouquet even with the dress’ floral elements. The more flower power, the better.

Now, unlike Cynthia Erivo, Miley Cyrus’ 2025 Oscars looks had heads turning for all the wrong reasons.
