If there were an award for commitment to a promo tour, surely Cynthia Erivo—along with her co-star, Ariana Grande—would take home the top prize (with Timothée Chalamet’s unconventional promo of A Complete Unknown running a close second,

If you’re anything like me, you’ve had Cynthia Erivo’s “Defying Gravity” riff stuck in your head for the last six months. But I come bearing good news: We have another moment to think about until Wicked's second half drops into theaters: Erivo’s 2025 Oscars red carpet look.

Demi Moore in sparkling Armani Privé, Elle Fanning in Sarah Burton's inaugural haute-couture look for Givenchy, and Cynthia Erivo's dramatic Louis Vuitton gown were among the night's style highlights.

Emma Stone looked like a gorgeous fish on the 2025 Oscars red carpet.

BLACKPINK's Lisa arrived at the 2025 Oscars wearing Mark Gong. She will make history as the first K-pop artist to perform at the Academy Awards when she takes the stage with Doja Cat and RAYE.

Erivo is something of an Oscars veteran at this point. The near-EGOT winner has two more nominations under her belt and has appeared on the carpet several times over the past few years. One of her standout looks came in 2024, when she kicked off the Wicked press tour early on the red carpet in an emerald-green leather gown by Louis Vuitton.
