Without an invite, it's hard to guess what exactly the 2025 Oscar nominees discussed over their first courses inside the 97th Annual Academy Awards Nominees Dinner at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on Feb. 25. But before they tucked in, stars including Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, and Mikey Madison served a rare vintage appetizer on the red carpet.
First up, the Wicked co-stars found fresh ways to reference their nominated roles while dipping into the archives. Erivo and stylist Jason Bolden took the Yellow Brick Road toward a golden archival Givenchy jacket and skirt, featuring embroidered blossoms and a plunge neckline showing off Erivo's tattoos. Custom Elphaba-green Louboutin pumps accompanied the statement coat—plus one of Erivo's signature, blinged-out manicures.
