Ariana Grande’s lampshade was a miss<\/h2>\n

Ariana Grande walked the 2025 Oscars red carpet in a pink gown, paying tribute to “Wicked,” and the dress was certainly playful. The corseted\u00a0Schiaparelli gown jutted out at the waist in curving waves, and finished with a tulle skirt. She wore a\u00a0De Beers diamond necklace and pulled her hair back in a clean-girl bun, clearly establishing herself as one of the celebs who favors a slicked-back bun. However, the look was too severe, and we cannot figure out how she fit into her seat with that geometric waist. In one clip from the night, she was literally able to place her phone on her dress and it stayed up. That’s not the first thing we look for when imagining the ideal red carpet dress.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Whoopi Goldberg’s space dress was a no<\/h2>\n

Whoopi Goldberg wore a blue, sci-fi space dress by\u00a0Christian Siriano to the 2025 Oscars. The liquid-looking dress was certainly a bold choice, but it was the cut of the dress that didn’t do it. The full skirt, being such an ample A-line, needed a more fitted bust, but the dress jutted out again at the shoulders in an exaggerated boat neck top, engulfing Goldberg in high-voltage fabric. It was too much of a bad thing, and the final effect was overwhelming. It reminded us of the time Zendaya wore that unfortunate Cinderella dress to the 2019 Met Gala. In both cases, it was too much volume in a bizarre shade of blue.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Zoe Salda\u00f1a’s Oscars dress was a nightmare<\/h2>\n

Zoe\u00a0Salda\u00f1a won an Oscar for best supporting actress for her role in “Emilia P\u00e9rez,”\u00a0and while she came out of the night victorious, her dress was a loser. The gown was created by\u00a0Saint Laurent creative director Anthony Vaccarello, and comprised three tiers of burgundy draping bunched together, completed by a sheer-effect top. While we’re obsessed with the sheer clothing trend, from pops of skin to fearless transparency, this dress was just a flop. It flattened\u00a0Salda\u00f1a in some places, and added volume in other places, and this made it seem lopsided. People on X were enraged.\u00a0“i can’t believe zoe saldana is gonna accept the oscar in one of the ugliest dresses ive ever seen,”\u00a0someone tweeted. “I don’t mind Zoe Saldana winning her career Oscar, but why did she have to win in that dress,” another lamented. “I love, love, love Zo\u00eb Salda\u00f1a. I hate, hate, hate this dress,”\u00a0a third chimed in. The horror.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Emma Stone’s Oscar dress was a master class in boring<\/h2>\n

Emma Stone wore a beaded\u00a0Louis Vuitton gown to the 2025 Oscars, and styled her hair to reference old Hollywood and the wavy bob of 1920s flapper girls. While the hydro bob has been the short hair trend rocking the streets of late, Stone’s look as a whole did not land. The gown was completely uninteresting. The neckline was a snooze, the length was ever so slightly too long. Even the beading and shimmer effect of the dress managed to make us yawn. What’s baffling is that Stone wore a Louis Vuitton gown last year, when she won best actress for “Poor Things.” It was a pale mint green peplum dress that tore when she accepted her award. Apart from the malfunction, the dress was drab, so why she went back to the same designers in 2025 is puzzling.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

We give the thumbs down to Mikey Madison’s pink dress<\/h2>\n

Mikey Madison won best actress for her role in “Anora” at the 2025 Oscars, and while we love to see a breakout star win, her pink and black Dior gown went home without an award. The dress featured a black top with a pink bow tied at the waist with a pink train. Like so many other stars of the night, Madison styled the look with an uninspired bun \u2014 can we not with the tight little buns for one evening? \u2014 that took away any additional lustre from an already-boring gown. The dress didn’t fit her properly and bunched at her waist. The good people of X had a lot to say about it.\u00a0“Whoever put Mikey Madison in that dress should be in jail,” someone tweeted. Someone else tried to be positive.\u00a0“Very Audrey Hepburn but a bit too long in the torso for her. It should lay flat across her abdomen despite the draping. Hemmed loaner gown,”\u00a0they wrote. This was not her best look.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Monica Barbaro’s pink gown did nothing for her<\/h2>\n

Monica Barbaro played Joan Baez in the Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown.” While her performance was stunning, her pink Dior dress didn’t add to the celebration that she deserved. The dress featured an ample ballgown shape contrasted by a beige, textured bralette top. While this all sounds fine on paper, the red carpet effect was a disappointment. The skirt was too long and wrinkled, white the bralette top didn’t appear to fit her well and sagged on the sides. Plus, her plain bun gave the whole look an underwhelming effect. Did a glamorous updo ever hurt anyone?\u00a0How about a blowout?\u00a0What is with this wave of tight buns on red carpets?\u00a0People on X noted that Barbaro had looked a lot better on other red carpets recently. “Monica Barbaro deserved a better [Oscar] look than this Dior gown, especially after her impressive press tour for ‘A Complete Unknown,'”\u00a0someone tweeted on X. The finished product was uninspired.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
