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.

Some stars experimented with their looks on film's biggest night, from Omar Apollo's scarf-as-a-necktie to Cynthia Erivo's custom Louis Vuitton gown.

Yes, Cynthia Erivo's 2025 Oscars dress was Wicked-inspired - but it actually has a much deeper meaning. Erivo, 38, turned heads as she attended the Academy Awards on Sunday, March 2, in a billowing custom dark green Louis Vuitton gown paired with Roberto Coin jewelry.

While most of the 2025 Oscars still need to be announced (don’t worry, Marie Claire will be providing updates all night), there is one award that I feel incredibly confident handing out already. Cynthia Erivo,

Cynthia Erivo's Oscars 2025 look is not only showstopping, but poignant. Erivo showed up to the Sunday ceremony, where she‘s nominated for best actress for her role as Elphaba in Wicked, in a high-drama black custom Louis Vuitton gown with dramatic off-the-shoulder sleeves and a matching collar.

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.
