Last night in Los Angeles, Hollywood’s brightest stars gathered at the Ray Dolby Ballroom for the 16th Governors Awards — and the red carpet delivered in every possible way. What unfolded wasn’t just a procession of gowns and tuxedos, but a preview of the fashion language that will define this awards season.
Sculptural minimalism, dreamy pastel palettes, and sharp masculine tailoring dominated the night. From Jennifer Lawrence’s ivory off-the-shoulder Dior gown to Ariana Grande’s soft blush moment, to the men embracing unexpected color play — the carpet felt both nostalgic and refreshingly modern. Clean lines, delicate draping, and quiet-luxury details proved that understatement can still command a spotlight.
The energy of the evening balanced timeless Hollywood glamour with forward-looking styling choices: old-Hollywood waves, sleek silhouettes, thoughtful embellishments, and a strong showing of maisons that continue to shape red-carpet culture.
In this gallery, we’re spotlighting the looks that defined the night — the celebrities who owned the carpet, the designers who set the tone, the emerging trends worth bookmarking, and the moments that became instant fashion talking points.
Consider this your curated guide to the 2025 Governors Awards red carpet: what everyone wore, what everyone is talking about, and what fashion editors will be referencing long after the lights dim.
