The 22 Best Archival Fashion Moments From Awards Season This Year
Award season may be over, but these looks are memorable, from Chappell Roan's 2003 Jean Paul Gaultier to Ariana Grande's '80s Chanel.
Awards season wrapped up Sunday night with the 2025 Oscars, and the red carpet did not disappoint. Stars like Raye arrived in a jaw-dropping gown by Vivienne Westwood, while Ariana Grande wore new season Schiaparelli. Cynthia Erivo's custom Louis Vuitton gown was stunning, but her artful manicure also stole the show. Despite a bevvy of beautifully custom looks, archival fashion also had a moment during this year's awards season.
At the 2025 Grammys, pop princesses Chappell Roan and Olivia Rodrigo turned heads in archival fashion masterpieces—Roan wore a Jean Paul Gaultier Spring/Summer 2003 Couture get-up and Rodrigo rocked vintage Versace. Anora star and Best Actress Oscar-winner Mikey Madison cemented her status as a style standout, opting for vintage Giorgio Armani at the Critics' Choice Awards and vintage Bill Blass at the Oscar Nominees dinner.
Wicked co-stars Grande and Erivo dominated the season with back-to-back archival ensembles. Grande led the vintage charge by far, wearing everything from 1980s Chanel to Givenchy and Yves Saint Laurent haute couture. Meanwhile, Erivo made a statement in '90s Givenchy couture, choosing archival looks for both the SAG Awards and the Oscar Nominees dinner.
Kylie Jenner also made her presence known more than once alongside boyfriend Timothée Chalamet. At the 2025 Golden Globes, she wore a low back Versace Spring/Summer 1999 gown once donned by Elizabeth Hurley—both women notably wearing the look while accompanying their partners. For the BAFTAs, Jenner stunned in a little black dress from Dior’s John Galliano era, specifically Spring/Summer 1995.
