2025 Academy Museum Gala: All the Best Celebrity Red Carpet Looks

If the 2025 Academy Museum Gala’s red carpet is anything to go by, this is going to be a great awards season.

Is this a safe place to admit my opinion that red carpets have grown a bit stale over the past few seasons, with just a few really memorable looks here and there? Thankfully, it seems designers and celebrities are more than ready to change that this year. From the avant-garde, like Hailey Bieber’s corseted Schiaparelli illusion dress, to even the more classic gowns, like Demi Moore’s burgundy Prada moment, there were no shortage of showstoppers—and I haven’t even mentioned Jenna Ortega’s leaf-inspired breastplate or Elle Fanning’s Balenciaga t-shirt yet.

While the main purpose of the Academy Museum Gala is to raise funds for the museum’s exhibitions and programming, it always serves as a strong precursor to Awards season. Sure, this year’s Emmys have already come and gone, but we’ve still got many months to go before the Academy Awards in March. Between now and then, celebrity stylists still have to call in looks for the BAFTAs, SAG Awards, the Grammys, and all the celebratory moments in between. This is just the appetizer.

From Zoë Kravitz to Olivia Rodrigo to Charli XCX, here are all the must-see red carpet looks from the 2025 Academy Museum Gala.
