Governors Awards 2025: Tom Cruise to Sydney Sweeney on the Red Carpet
The Governors Awards in Hollywood this year took centre stage as a live fashion gallery with the stars across generations stepped onto the carpet with looks which were a perfect balance of nostalgia, creativity and personal style. What unfolded on Sunday night was more than an awards show but a celebration of artistry both on screen and in design.
Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez arrived in a dramatic, hourglass-shaped gown that stood out for its sharp contrast of velvet black against soft ivory. Long black gloves added an old Hollywood charm while the flowing back of the dress brought softness to the structured silhouette.
