The 2025 Oscars buzzed with drama, historic wins and dazzling fashion moments. Indie darling Anora stole the night with five major Oscar wins, including Best Picture and a surprise Best Actress victory for Mikey Madison, shocking audiences who expected Demi Moore to take the trophy. Musical-turned-movie Wicked also triumphed, earning awards for Best Costume and Production Design after Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande delivered a show-stopping opening medley celebrating The Wizard of Oz. Meanwhile, history was made by Zoe Saldaña, the first Dominican-American to win an Oscar, and Paul Tazewell, the first Black man to win for Best Costume Design.
Off-screen, whispers about rumored romances, emotional reunions and glamorous after-party antics also kept the drama alive, while sheer naked dresses took center stage on the red carpet, with stars like Kylie Jenner and Olivia Wilde embracing the barely-there trend.
