25 unsuccessful images at the 2025 Oscars ceremony (26 photos)

The 97th Academy Awards ceremony took place in Los Angeles. Let's leave the discussion of the winners and pay attention to an important aspect - outfits. The main stars of the industry walked the red carpet, traditionally captivating the public with their haute couture looks. We show which celebrities were less successful in this.





1. Halle Berry



Holly knows how to stand out. Her outfit, like Yvonne Orji's, gave the impression of a broken mirror. If the top smoothly transitioned into the skirt, the image would be more harmonious. However, a minimal amount of jewelry and a simple hairstyle are definitely the right decision.

2. Kayo Shekoni and Johan Grimonprez





This is definitely an interesting exit.

Shekoni's dress evokes associations with Princess Jasmine, but the dark blue cape does not seem the most comfortable. The hairstyle seems completely awkward.

Grimonprez's suit, on the contrary, needs additional color accents. The beige suit and bright orange shirt do not quite go well together.

3. Ava DuVernay



Ava's outfit looks good, but her shoulders stand out from the rest of the dress. If they were less noticeable and fell loosely, it would add elegance to the dress.

4. Stacy Martin



The star of "We Will Not Catch Up" let down the bottom of her dress. It looks like she tried on a floor lamp.

5. Laura Blount



There are so many good things about Laura Blount's dress, from the beautiful emerald color to the rich embroidery. But the shoulders, especially the right one, weigh the whole look down.

6. Colman Domingo



It's worth noting that there's nothing wrong with Colman Domingo's outfit. The red color is perfect for his look, and the sunglasses only add to his charm. But compared to the gorgeous dresses and suits of other celebrities, this ensemble falls a bit short.

7. Yasmin Finney



Yasmin Finney looks gorgeous, there’s no doubt about it. The dress fits perfectly, and the gloves and feathers add the finishing touch.

But imagine you’re sitting next to her. If she moves, you’re in for a tickle. And if you’re sitting behind her, you’re not going to have the best view of the stage.

8. Whoopi Goldberg



Too voluminous, too shiny. This dress simply swallowed the actress. With such a voluminous skirt, it would have been wise for the top of the dress to be more body-hugging.

9. Josephine Reitman



Gloomy and mournful. The actress would have benefited from a brighter color. Maybe blue or pink? After all, her hair and jewelry are already dark.

10. Amelia Dimoldenberg



Blue suits Amelia, but there is too much decoration on the top of the dress. A few accessories on her arms and neck would be an interesting accent.

11. Emmanuelle Janvier



The colors are simply amazing, and the pattern complements the image perfectly. However, the cut of the jacket is a bit disconcerting. Perhaps it is too close to the body? Or maybe the neckline is too low?

12. Emma Stone



Emma Stone is one of the most popular actresses in Hollywood, but her dress did not make such an impression. The outfit is very modest, and combined with her hair in a bun, it certainly does not inspire confidence.

13. Edwin Ryding



It seems that the Swedish actor loves light-colored outfits, because he has appeared in similar shades on past red carpets. Maybe it’s the ribbon on his left shoulder or his strict pose, but Ryding looks like a royal guard.

14. Julian Brave



The patterns and style of this director's suit are certainly unique, but the colors of the vest are out of the ordinary.

15. Rachel Zegler



It's not the dress, it's the way it fits. It feels like the outfit is slowly falling off.

Overall, the dress lacks volume. The color is beautiful, as are the tiny beads. It just looks dull on Zegler's figure.

16. Bretman Rock



We wouldn't be surprised if Bretman Rock said he just got back from a shoot where he plays a Greek warrior. The design of the outfit doesn't seem to be very successful. If it had been a single piece, rather than a collection of separate elements, the look could have been completely different.

17. Yvonne Orji



Although the actress and comedian ditched accessories, her dress looks way too shiny. Well, she and Berry have very similar looks.

18. Ornela March



There's nothing special about Ornela's outfit. Other than the trim that snakes down her left shoulder, it's just solid black.

19. Rita Wilson



Rita Wilson is dressed like she's going to a summer party, not a big event like the Oscars. Overall, her look is not bad, but it seems a bit plain compared to other celebrities.

20. Nicole Avant



The style looks quite appropriate, but that abundance of roses... The political activist could have improved the image if the sleeves were transparent black, and not dotted with additional patterns.

21. Alba Rohrwacher



Too much of everything.

From the layering of the dress, the excessive amount of frills to the train... It all overloads the look.

22. Guneet Monga



The outfit makes Guneet feel like she's stuck in a tree. Maybe it's the cut and the sharp shoulders, or maybe it's the length of the ensemble.

23. Aunjanue Ellis



As with Whoopi Goldberg, the outfit is too voluminous - especially the giant ruffles on the shoulders. The train, by the way, is quite appropriate.

24. Tessa Ross



This look has its own concept and potential, the earrings are gorgeous. But it is the all-black color that kills the outfit and is not suitable for the Oscars red carpet.

25. Lily-Rose Depp



The dress could be called successful if not for these frills. Such a simple detail spoils the outfit, but the hairstyle and jewelry are impeccable.
