What the Stars Wore to the 2025 Governors Awards
From Cynthia Erivo to Jacob Elordi, the stars served.
The 16th Governors Awards took place on November 16 at the Ray Dolby Ballroom in Los Angeles, and as expected, the stars went full glam. While not as widely known as the Oscars or the Grammys, this does mark the beginning of another awards season, kicking off some serious red carpet style. The awards are known as the ‘Honorary Oscars’ and celebrate lifetime achievement in cinema, so naturally, the Hollywood great showed up appropriately.
Music megastar and philanthropist Dolly Parton received the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, and the Honorary Oscars were awarded to actor Tom Cruise, choreographer and actor Debbie Allen and production designer Wynn Thomas. For the fashion, best looks include Cynthia Erivo in Sarah Burton’s Givenchy, Anya Taylor-Joy looking ethereal in Maison Margiela Couture and a welcome appearance from the Frankenstein cast with actors of the moment Jacob Elordi and Mia Goth.
Scroll through to see some of the best looks from this year’s Governors Awards.
Anya Taylor-Joy
Anya Taylor-Joy was looking ethereal in Maison Margiela couture by Glenn Martens and Tiffany & Co. jewelry, another look to prove that she really never misses.
Cynthia Erivo
Cynthia Erivo is currently everyone’s hero. Not only has she served once again on the red carpet in Givenchy by Sarah Burton, while we wait patiently for the Wicked: For Good release, but she recently defended her co-star Ariana Grande at the premiere when a fan ambushed and tried to grab Grande. We love you, Cynthia.
Jennifer Lawrence
Jennifer Lawrence stunned in an elegant Dior gown with JAR jewelry, giving a serious sense of glamor.
Jacob Elordi
Current It-boy Jacob Elordi has been doing the rounds since the release of his latest film, Frankenstein, and we can safely say he never misses. He was looking dapper in a perfectly tailored suit and high-neck collar.
Mia Goth
Recently taking on two roles in the movie Frankenstein, Mia Goth is multitasking to the max. For this year’s Governors Awards, she further proved her ability to look gorgeous in a gown (did you see her character’s incredible looks in the movie?), wearing a stunning Christian Dior icy blue look.
Chase Infiniti
Chase Infiniti made quite an impression after her breakout role in One Battle After Another, starring alongside Leonardo DiCaprio. Now, she’s proving her star status even further, gracing us with this Louis Vuitton ballerina-esque tutu dress.
Queen Latifah
Queen Latifah always knows how to make the perfect statement on the red carpet. The star shone in this gorgeous red Lanvin gown and contrasting black jewelry to match the apliqué.
Isabela Merced
Isabela Merced seriously served in this black Dilara Findikoglu look with a delicate hooded detail. Edgy and simultaneously elegant, this is how you do cool-girl red carpet.
Hailee Steinfeld
Hailee Steinfeld is no stranger to a statement gown, and she delivered again in this intricate Stephane Rolland look with Chopard jewelry. Soft and flowing with a hint of sparkle, it was hard to miss this one.
Jeremy Allen White
Jeremy Allen White was looking handsome as usual in a Louis Vuitton look with high-waisted suit pants and that signature unbuttoned shirt. He knows exactly what he’s doing.
