Margaret Qualley’s red carpet fashion is known for being sweet, sentimental, and covered in bows—what the kids are calling coquette. However, on the 2025 Oscars red carpet, Qualley is embarking on a new fashion chapter—one that's more grown up, colored in black, and seemingly without bows.
Dressed by stylist Patricia Villirillo, the The Substance actress arrived on the 2025 Oscars red carpet on March 2 in a custom black silk velvet floor-length gown by Chanel. Qualley’s look for the 97th Academy Awards featured a boat neck silhouette that was slightly puffed and gathered around the shoulders. The Substance star—who is surprisingly not nominated for her portrayal of Sue in Coralie Fargeat’s body-horror film but is presenting an award category at the 2025 Oscars—looked regal and far more grown up than her previous girlhood aesthetic-esque looks.
