As awards season wraps up, it's time to talk about what really matters — the red carpet fashion! From jaw-dropping couture to questionable style choices, this year’s red carpet moments gave us everything: drama, glamour, and a few looks that left us scratching our heads. Here’s our curated roundup of the most unforgettable fashion hits and misses from this year’s most talked-about events.

 Best Dressed

1. Zendaya – The Definition of Red Carpet Royalty
Zendaya continues to reign supreme. At the Oscars, she stunned in a custom Valentino gown — sleek, modern, and effortlessly elegant. With minimal accessories and her signature poise, she reminded everyone why she’s a fashion icon.

2. Timothée Chalamet – Risk Taker, Rule Breaker
Never one to play it safe, Timothée turned heads in a sequined Haider Ackermann ensemble with no shirt and maximum confidence. Love it or hate it, he owned the moment and made menswear anything but boring.

3. Florence Pugh – The Tulle Queen
Florence embraced high drama at the Met Gala with a sculptural Valentino creation. The bold headpiece, daring neckline, and billowing tulle made it a high-fashion fantasy come true.

4. Michelle Yeoh – Grace Personified
Proving that elegance never goes out of style, Michelle Yeoh graced the BAFTAs in a pastel Dior gown that felt both timeless and refreshing. Her look was a masterclass in understated luxury.

5. Ayo Edebiri – Rising Star, Rising Style
The breakout star of the season also delivered on fashion. In Loewe’s structured, avant-garde silhouettes, Ayo blended quirky and chic like a seasoned pro.

 Worst Dressed

1. Jared Leto – Feline Faux Pas
Yes, we get the Met Gala theme, but showing up in a full-size Choupette the cat costume? It felt more meme than masterpiece. Leto always goes big, but this one leaned more “Halloween party” than “high fashion.”

2. Doja Cat – Commitment Gone Too Far?
Also channeling Karl Lagerfeld’s beloved cat, Doja Cat’s prosthetic feline nose and bejeweled Oscar de la Renta look certainly made a statement. Unfortunately, it distracted from what could have been a stunning red carpet moment.

3. Heidi Klum – Butterfly Gone Rogue
At the Cannes red carpet, Heidi fluttered in with a neon-winged gown that felt more Victoria’s Secret runway than film festival glam. We love bold, but this one felt misplaced.

4. Machine Gun Kelly – More Armor Than Art
Metallic suits can work, but MGK’s heavy-handed, punk-inspired fit felt too literal and lacked polish. There’s a fine line between edgy and overdone — this veered into the latter.

5. Kristen Stewart – Too Casual for the Occasion
Kristen’s love for androgynous fashion is part of her charm, but her sheer shirt and ill-fitting trousers at a major film premiere lacked the impact and effort we expect from a style veteran.

Final Thoughts

Red carpet fashion is about self-expression, risk-taking, and storytelling. This year delivered no shortage of bold moments — whether they soared or stumbled. The best looks felt authentic and visionary, while the misses often came from trying too hard to stand out. But let’s be honest, even the fashion flops keep us coming back for more. Here’s to the next red carpet season — may it be just as stylish, strange, and spectacular.
