The 2025 Governors Awards at The Ray Dolby Ballroom in Hollywood saw a dazzling display of style as celebrities embraced Dior in full force. Under the creative eye of Jonathan Anderson, the brand turned the red carpet into a vibrant showcase of custom designs, signaling a fresh and exciting direction for Dior. Rather than relying on a single ambassador or a predictable look, the evening presented a coordinated celebration of fashion that highlighted both artistry and individuality, marking a memorable moment for the brand and its stars.

Soft Drape Supremacy

Jennifer Lawrence wore a white and ivory draped silk dress that instantly became one of her strongest Dior looks under Anderson. Inspired by the Spring 2026 runway, the structure was softened, lengthened, and made to feel undeniably modern. This is the silhouette many of us have been waiting for — statuesque but not stiff. I’m not always a fan of white and ivory together, but somehow it works here. Maybe it’s just nice to see Jennifer in a Dior that feels worthy of her again. After a disheartening Rome outing and then a fabulous black dress in New York promoting Die My Love, this proves that consistency might finally be emerging.

Floral Ballerina

This floral embroidered organza Dior dress was a charming idea for Natalie Portman — I adore the icy blue colour palette, the playful texture, and the girlish silhouette. But the waistline feels a touch too high and throws the proportions slightly off. Is it the length? Is it the bodice shape? I can’t quite land on what’s bothering me, but something in the balance feels just shy of perfect. Still, it’s fun, and it’s fresh. Tiffany & Co. jewels completed her look.

Modern Satin Renaissance

Mia Goth’s strapless blue satin Dior gown clearly borrowed from the Spring 2026 vocabulary — draping, wrapped panels, structural romance — but this translation felt more refined than the runway. The colour is welcomed, especially after her dark Frankenstein press tour looks, and I applaud the shift. Some will argue she needed more hair and makeup effort, but this minimalist presentation is part of her long-standing red carpet identity. Personally, I just wish the hair had been swept up to showcase the neckline. Dior Fine Jewellery completed the look.

Velvet Victorian

Joe Alwyn wore a Dior navy velvet morning suit that instantly called to mind Edwardian formal dressing. The elongated coat, white shirt styling and jewelled brooch gave the look a quiet period-drama quality without turning theatrical. It’s quietly romantic. It’s also the best he has looked in Dior in a long while. Tiffany & Co. jewels completed his look.

Modern Dandy

Josh O’Connor wore a Dior suit, with the most intriguing element being the white silk shirt featuring an incorporated bow tie, matched with black-and-white leather Dior CD loafers. He’s been committed to the house since Jonathan Anderson took over, but not every look has landed for you. Does this sleeker, more contemporary take — with its subtle nods to old-world tailoring — finally win you over?

Classic Tux, No Surprises

Leonardo DiCaprio may switch brands from time to time, but the uniform never changes: Dior black tux, bow tie, job done. He is the red carpet equivalent of ordering the same coffee every day — consistent, reliable, and utterly devoid of risk.
