The Golden Globes were a glimmer of hope in an awards season usually filled with trepidation. Not only did Nikki Glaser handily fulfill her role as host, making us laugh and reviving the room’s energy at the right inflection points, but the red-carpet fashion suggested a more custom looks to drool over in the coming weeks. However, the devastating Los Angeles fires have halted awards season, with the future of the ceremonies suspended as the city recovers.

Now that the fires are contained, the stars are taking to the carpets again, and feeding us some fun fashion. The Critics Choice Awards shifted a few stars up on our list, and others attended various awards events before the two big ones: The Screen Actors Guild Awards and, of course, the Oscars. Keep scrolling, and keep checking back, to see who’s on our radar from now until the Best Picture Oscar is awarded.

Ms. Edebiri holds strong in the top spot by continuing to strike a balance between runway and real-life in a way that feels true to her. This Fall/Winter 2025 dress by Colleen Allen is giving rich goth matriarch.

We adored her golden Golden Globes look, and The Substance star has rarely missed since she started promo for the film at Cannes in Jun. 2024. This recent Schiaparelli Haute Couture moment was brilliant accessorized with a simple earring, bracelet, and glowing skin.

While lots of folks have been lamenting the Old Hollywood throwbacks celebs have leaned into, it works on her. This chandelier-inspired Schiaparelli is one of her better looks all season long.

Saldana dressed like a winner at the Globes, and it worked in her favor as she picked up her first-ever Globe. Her Saint Laurent-heavy awards season has us wanting for very little.

A newcomer to both this list and the Hollywood major leagues, Madison has found a groove after some questionable fashion in simple column gowns with minimal accessories.

The Oscar-nominated actress is also finding her style this awards season, wearing lots of Dior, but also this artsy Marni which was expertly paired with a red lip.

Our favorite agent of Y2Chaos cleaned up impeccably in custom Bottega Veneta for the BAFTAs, ditching the skinny scarves for the evening to show off his fancy side.

The low-key English actress turned our heads at the Globes in an extraterrestrial Prada frock, and got herself on this list with a stunningly simple Armani Privé moment at the BAFTAs.

Ronan claimed a spot on this list with her first awards-season appearances at the BAFTAs and the Irish Film and Television Awards, wearing custom Vuitton dresses to both. This mint-green column dress and red lip have been stuck in my mind since I saw them.

10Nicole Kidman

Current position: 10

Last position: 6

She’s a true chameleon, not only on the screen as a submissive CEO in Babygirl, but as a fashion star. One minute, she’s in a ‘60s bouffant hairstyle and Balenciaga couture, and the next she’s a cool mom in beachy waves and a relaxed Saint Laurent suit.
