Awards season may not officially begin until the new year, but the 2025 Governors Awards\u2014sometimes referred to as the Honorary Oscars<\/a>\u2014offered a sparkling preview of what\u2019s to come.<\/p>\n

Held at the Ray Dolby Ballroom in Los Angeles, the 16th annual ceremony, which honours lifetime achievements and contributions to film, presented Academy Honorary Awards to Debbie Allen, Tom Cruise, and Wynn Thomas, while Dolly Parton received the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. Yet the night wasn\u2019t only about accolades; it was also a clear reminder that Hollywood\u2019s style stakes are already high.<\/p>\n

With the industry\u2019s most talked-about contenders in attendance, the red carpet doubled as a glimpse into the emerging mood of the 2026 awards season. Rising star Chase Infiniti arrived in a custom Louis Vuitton<\/a> tiered tulle dress, joined by Emma Stone<\/a> in an elegant off-the-shoulder black gown from the House. Jonathan Anderson’s Dior<\/a> had a strong presence too, dressing Jennifer Lawrence<\/a> in a goddess-like design, as well as Natalie Portman<\/a> and Frankenstein<\/em> star Mia Goth<\/a>, who floated in a soft, princess-blue creation. Dakota Johnson<\/a>, Tessa Thompson<\/a>, Amanda Seyfried<\/a> and Kate Hudson<\/a> all opted for Valentino’s glamour,\u00a0 while Wicked<\/em><\/a> co-stars Ariana Grande<\/a> and Cynthia Erivo<\/a> offered a stylish encore, stepping out in archival Galliano for Dior and Sarah Burton\u2019s Givenchy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With plenty more stars rounding out the guest list, the Governors Awards delivered fashion with the confidence of an awards season already in full swing.<\/p>\n
