Fashion has kept the red carpet firmly in pop culture’s grip throughout 2025, with a steady stream of standout sartorial moments that have been hard to escape—the kind of looks that continued to dominate our feeds. Across movie premieres and awards shows, a select few stuck around long after the night itself, earning repeat airtime across recaps and round-ups.
The cutest proof came when Rihanna, now firmly in her mama era, stepped onto the carpet with her sons RZA and Riot dressed in miniature Dior. Fresh off Jonathan Anderson’s debut at the house, the mini looks quickly took over our feeds, becoming one of the most widely shared red carpet moments of the year and leaving many of us with a warm smile in the process. And speaking of creative director debuts, Jenna Ortega delivered another pause-worthy fashion moment in Givenchy by Sarah Burton, wearing a black gown topped with a crystal “broken chandelier” bodice that stood out immediately in photos, its intricate detailing prompting close-ups across coverage of the Wednesday star. Of course, not forgetting our very own red carpet moment here with the Wicked: For Good premiere, where the starry cast lit up the yellow carpet, bringing Oz magic to our shores and giving fans a rare chance to see their favourite Glinda and Elphaba up close.
As for awards season, the number of dazzling looks was definitely plentiful. Case in point: it-girl Lisa appearing in pink Lever Couture at the Emmys, with cotton-candy pink sculpted ribbon detailing and finished with Bulgari jewellery, giving the K-pop star a real-life princess moment. And of course, Anya Taylor-Joy continued indulging us in a slew of striking red carpet appearances, including her striking baby blue Dior dress at Toronto International Film Festival, among many others. Another recent highlight was Alex Consani in custom McQueen, radiating the house’s iconic skull motif, the supermodel locking in yet another moment for the books. But right now? We’re knee-deep in the Marty Supreme era, where Timothée Chalamet’s bright orange look has been making the rounds online, a moment that certainly didn’t slip past any of us.
And the list goes on—those are only a few of the myriad looks that made up the red carpet moodboard this year. Below, scroll through some of the standout red carpet moments from 2025 we still can’t stop thinking about.
