The best-dressed stars of awards season 2025.

Awards season is coming to a close, but not without some memorable style moments to look back on.

Throughout it all, there’s been a class of nominated stars who’ve shown up and shown out time and time again, with some livening up the dress code with top-tier method dressing and others committing to their signature uniform.

Before all the action kicks off at Hollywood’s biggest night, we’re looking back at the eight red carpet power players who made getting glam their whole personalities in the name of showbiz.

WhenDemi Mooreembarked on theSubstancepress tourlast fall, we knew she’d be a big style hitter come awards season. She andBrad Goreski, who’s known the actress for almost 20 years, continued their high-fashion streak in custom, couture and more.

At the Golden Globes, Moore, 62, turned heads in a bespoke Giorgio Armani Privé gilded mermaid gown that was designed to deliver"full wattage glamour.“It was the perfect look for the actress to take home her first statuette in (Moore triumphed in thebest actress in a comedy or musical filmcategory).

Moore later attended the Critics Choice Awards inSchiaparelli(the lace-up back of which wasa subtle nodto her film), the Directors Guild Awards in 2018 Dior Haute Couture, the BAFTAs in acustom Alexander McQueenmade in a month’s time (per Goreski), and the SAG Awards incustom Bottega Veneta.

Timothée Chalamethas been on our radars for his youthful taste in menswear for years. However, we’ve been keeping an even closer eye on his outfit choices so no Bob Dylan reference went unnoticed.

Since promotingA Complete Unknown, the biopic that recently earned Chalamet, 29, the title ofyoungest best actor SAG Award recipient, he’s been proving himself to be a masterful method dresser in a series of red carpet looks styled in reference to the legendary musician.

At the SAG Awards, Chalamet revived a neon rocker look Dylan wore on a rare public appearance with a custom Chrome Hearts suit, while channeling a 1987 Dylan outfit in Bottega Veneta at the BAFTAs. He most recently celebrated his secondBest Actor Oscar nominationin a custom GAPStudio satin co-ord in reference to the brand and Dylan’s relevance in the 1960s.

Instead of taking method dressing to a new extreme,Zoe Saldaña— who received multiple nods and wins forEmilia Pérez— played around with various forms of her favorite uniform: the LBD (in this case, the long black dress).

Saldaña hasn’t entirely been opposed to pulling off the unexpected. For the Critics Choice Awards, she wore a waist-cinching red Saint Laurent gown with a Cartier choker.

In a 2023 interview withHarper’s Bazaar, the actress said looking good on the carpet is as important as feeling good in her outfit. “The older I get, comfort has become quite a fashionable statement in my life and I think it’s good to feel safe and comfortable in what you’re wearing.”

Ariana Grande and Her Glorified Glinda Glam

The duo continued to pay homage toWickedright after Grande’s run on the “Journey Through Oz” press tour, and while some nods were more subtle than others, the Good Witch and Oz have still been very much present.

Grande (figuratively) floated into the Santa Barbara Film Festival in a bulbousLouis Vuitton gownthat referenced Glinda’s famous bubble, while her1966 Givenchy gown for the Globesacted as an Easter egg for the Yellow Brick Road.

Although she attended the Critics Choice Awards in a nude-coloredDior Haute Couture cage dress, Grande continued to think pink in apoufy Louis Vuitton confectionandfloral appliqué-covered Loewe gownfor the BAFTAs and SAG Awards respectively.

Cynthia Erivois one of the boldest trendsetters of our time — and we don’t state that lightly (if you need proof, just scroll through all the impeccably themed ensembles she delivered on theWickedpress tour).

There is nary a red carpet event the singer and actress, 38, hasn’t attended this awards season (how she’s doing it all has to be some form of sartorial sorcery, right?), and her efforts have not gone without recognition.

Every look she and her stylist,Jason Bolden, have collaborated on has embodied the definition of jaw-dropping, whether it be herstructural Louis Vuitton gownfor the Globes, her fringed-covered1997 Givenchy dressfor the SAG Awards or her tailoredDolce & Gabbana pinstripe suitfor the NAACP Image Awards.

Selena Gomez and Her Nods to Old Hollywood

Selena Gomezmay be one of today’s style icons, but her sartorial references all point to vintage glamour. Throughout awards season, the actress — recognized forEmilia PérezandOnly Murders in the Building —channeled Old Hollywood elegance through her outfits, makeup and hairstyles.

She also pulled off a Katherine Hepburn move in a whiteRalph Lauren tuxedocomplete with a tailored blazer with shoulder pads, a vest layered over a sheer collared shirt and wide-leg trousers.

Mikey Madison and Her Strapless Streak

Thanks to the success ofAnora,Mikey Madisonwas everywhere this awards season with an assist fromJamie Mizrahi, who also outfits Jennifer Lawrence, Jeremy Allen White and, as of late, Jack Nicholson.

There wasn’t a strapless gown the 25-year-old star couldn’t pull off. For the Globes, she dazzled in a very gilded and very scaly custom Bottega Veneta design that caught the light from every direction. At the BAFTAs, she went for a muted no-strap cream Prada moment before returning to metallics in a silver shoulder-less Louis Vuitton gown with a statement ruffle. She continued the streak at the SAG Awards in a vintage Fall 1987 Bill Blass bow-adorned find fromShrimpton Couture.

The exception to Madison’s unspoken no-sleeve rule was the ethereal cherry red Proenza Schouler gown she wore to the Santa Barbara Film Festival.

Colman Domingohas been letting his style sing this awards season in a multitude of sexy and playful menswear looks.

The actor — who’s been a red carpet regular with his nominations forSing Sing— has been working with styling duoWayman and Micahon a dynamic lineup of looks he describes as “effortlessly luxurious” but also comfortable.

“I want tolook like I’m having a good timeand also want to look like I’m festive in some way,” Domingo said in an exclusive interview PEOPLE ahead of the Oscars. “I’m not only at the party, but I am the party.”

It’s hard to pick a favorite out of Domingo’s sartorial lineup, but if we had to choose, it’d be the multi-patternedValentino accessorieshe wore to the Globes, the incredibly sexy Versace moment (which involved a sexy unbuttoned shirt) he rocked at the BAFTAs or hissharp Valentino suitingfrom the SAG Awards.
