Oscars 2025 Worst Dressed: Timothee Chalamet, Cynthia Erivo and Zoe Saldana’s red carpet looks fall flat
HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA: The 97th Annual Academy Awards, held on March 2, 2025, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, was a night of glitz, glamour, and memorable moments.
The Oscars, celebrated as the pinnacle of cinematic achievement, honor the best in film across various categories, with stars from around the world coming together to celebrate art, talent, and creativity. This year, Conan O'Brien took on the role of host, delivering his signature humor and wit throughout the evening.
While many actors stunned with their jaw-dropping fashion choices, not everyone made a lasting impression for the right reasons. Some red carpet looks left fans and critics scratching their heads, leading to a viral debate over the worst dressed of the night.
Here are 10 celebrities whose outfits seemed a little too weird, chaotic, or simply out of place:
1. Cynthia Erivo
Cynthia Erivo wore a Louis Vuitton dark green full-length gown at the 2025 Oscars, inspired by her film 'Wicked'. While bold, the dress missed the mark with its dramatic design and unflattering silhouette. Paired with statement jewelry and intricate nails, the overall look felt mismatched, making it one of the more questionable fashion choices of the night.
2. Whoopi Goldberg
Whoopi Goldberg wore a voluminous blue ballgown by Christian Siriano at the 2025 Oscars, but its bulky silhouette and satin finish felt outdated and unflattering. Despite the off-the-shoulder neckline and pleated bodice, the dramatic design missed the mark, making it one of the more questionable fashion choices of the night.
3. Monica Barbaro
Monica Barbaro wore a pale pink satin Dior gown at the 2025 Oscars, but the crystal-adorned bodice and full skirt felt overly dramatic. Paired with Bulgari jewelry, her look missed the mark.
4. H.E.R
H.E.R. stepped onto the 2025 Oscars red carpet in a golden off-shoulder sequined gown, complete with a broad belt around her waist. She accessorized with a three-layered choker and earrings, while her hair flowed in soft waves. However, the gown’s dramatic design and excessive accessories missed the mark, landing her among the worst-dressed of the evening.
5. Zoe Saldana
Zoe Saldana wore a dark red ruffled gown by Saint Laurent featuring a satin skirt and strass bodice, paired with sheer opera gloves and a statement necklace. Despite the bold choice, the dramatic design and accessories failed to impress, placing her among the worst-dressed of the night.
6. Timothee Chalamet
Timothee Chalamet opted for a complete butter-yellow suit from Givenchy on the red carpet. The look featured a cropped suit coat paired with baggy jeans, complete with belt loops, rivets, and exposed stitching. He added a floral chain to his neck but it did little to make his fashion choice stand out.
7. Doja Cat
As per People, Doja Cat made a bold debut at the 2025 Oscars in a sparkly animal-print Balmain gown with a plunging neckline, inspired by a 1950s design. She accessorized with a matching scarf, a large necklace, and sparkly earrings, but her daring look fell short.
8. Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus wore a black halter gown with a beaded high neck and sheer skirt by Alexander McQueen at the 2025 Oscars. She paired the look with diamond earrings and a bracelet from Boucheron Fine Jewelry but it could not impress fashion critics, WWD reported.
9. Goldie Hawn
Goldie Hawn wore a butter-yellow silk gown at the 2025 Oscars, featuring rhinestones and a corset-style bustier. She paired it with a Sabyasachi diamond necklace, diamond bracelet, and a Briony Raymond ring, but her look was disappointing, Instyle reports.
10. Lisa
Lisa debuted at the 2025 Oscars in a Markgong tuxedo gown featuring a notch lapel, structured shoulders, and full-length sleeves. She paired it with a white shirtdress and high-waisted flared bell-bottom pants, finishing the look with a red floral brooch. However, her sartorial choice was a flop.
