From the fabulous to the "what were they thinking?", here’s an outline of the superlatives and honorable mentions from our picks. Listen to the episode for the full report!

 

Holly’s Red Carpet Favorites

 

Keltie Knight- BEYOND!

o Look: Strapless tea-length white gown with beading on the bodice.
o Designer: Paolo Sebastian
o Why It Stood Out: A stunning, beaded masterpiece that made a bold statement. The gown's elegance was undeniable, with intricate beading that added depth and texture.

 

Stacy Martin-Honorable Mention

o Look: Beaded Louis Vuitton spaghetti strap triangle top dress.
o Why It Stood Out: A sculptural, princess-seamed dress that was unique in its design. As we're sure this was much prettier in person, the intricate details and couture nature of this dress were truly so different from any other dress on the carpet. Snaps all around.

 

Storm Reid- YYYAASSSS QUUUEENN

o Look: Short red dress with a matching cape and belt.
o Designer: Alexandre Vauthier Couture.
o Why It Stood Out: A bold, striking choice for her first Oscars, showcasing a confident fashion-forward look; with a belt! Loving this on her. 

 

Ariana Grande-DYING. DEAD. DECEASED.

o Look: Count them. Not 1 but 2 custom sculptural dresses. One red gown for the performance of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and one for the red carpet.
-Designer: Schiaparelli SS25 Couture
o Why It Stood Out: The structured peplum, sweetheart neckline, and crinoline were just mesmerizing on the red carpet gown. The performance gown was a mix of elegance and theatricality, complete with a 3D shoe illusion on the back. Whhaaatt? Fabulous times a gajilliion.

 

Yasmin Finney-WOW: okay what am I looking at?

o Look: Black mermaid dress with 3 foot sculptural feathers way above her head.
o Designer: Harris Reed FW24 RTW
o Why It Stood Out: A unique, avant-garde style that caught our attention for its boldness and creativity. It was so wacky that it took chic to another level. TOTAL badass proving fashion is about pushing boundaries.

 

Charlotte Lawrence- Like I can't even.

o Look: Pink beaded gown with low V-neck and bow at the waist.
o Designer: Valentino SS25 RTW.
o Why It Stood Out: An ethereal, fashion-forward look with delicate details, the gown made a powerful statement with its fresh, romantic vibe. JUST GORGEOUS.

 

Demi Moore- ABSOLUTELY AGELESS.

o Look: Silver beaded spaghetti strap dress with a low V-neck and train.
o Designer: Custom Armani Privé.
o Why It Stood Out: Demi brought the old Hollywood glamour with this masterpiece. The ruching on the hips totally cinched in her waist and accentuated her bust. Complete hourglass.

 

Fashion "Don'ts" and "Like, really?" OYE.

 

1. Whoopi Goldberg- Just why.
o Look: Shimmery plastic-looking off-the-shoulder shiny A-line dress.
o Designer: Christian Siriano Fall 2025.
o Girl, no: While a bold choice, the dress looked weird as it was too hip and youthful for her, leaving us wondering how this dress found its way to her.

 

2. Zoe Saldana- Nooooooooo.....(light sobbing in the background.)
o Look: Burgundy tiered bubble dress with mesh bustline.
-Designer: Custom Saint Laurent 
o Girl, no: A multi-tiered upside-down mushroom design that left her looking shapeless. The addition of sheer gloves only added to the awkwardness. Different? Yes. Flattering? No. 

 

3. Sarah Paulson- I mean, help me understand, queen.
o Look: Inflated red circus dress.
-Designer: Marc Jacobs SS25 RTW
o Girl, no: The exaggerated shoulder pads and over-the-top volume made it hard to appreciate the design's beauty. It looked like something out of Alice in Wonderland, on acid, inside of a dumpster fire, inside of a tornado. Like how could she go to the bathroom in this?!?

 

4. Goldie Hawn-Very, very sad.
o Look: Gold strapless beaded dress with a cape.
-Designer: Dolce & Gabbana
o Girl, no: It felt dated and was a color that didn't go with her skin tone. Bad hair, the same color as the dress with plastic surgery gone wrong.
