Fresh off of her 2025 SAG Awards win, as well as her Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards triumphs, Demi Moore is back on the awards show circuit at tonight’s Oscars ready to claim her next trophy. And while the ceremony has yet to begin, Moore arrived on the red carpet already dressed for victory.
For the 96th annual Academy Awards, Moore—who is nominated for Best Actress for her performance as Elisabeth Sparkle in The Substance (her first-ever Oscar nod)—stepped out wearing a bejeweled custom Giorgio Armani privé dress—a “full wattage Demi” style moment, according to her stylist, Brad Goreski.

Moore’s statuesque silver and gold beaded dress featured a plunging neckline, spaghetti straps, a dramatic train, and ruching along the hips that accentuated her waist. The actress kept the multi-watt memo going with a silver cuff bracelet and crystal chandelier earrings. Moore kept with her signature glam for her Oscars appearance, wearing her raven black hair in long loose waves and accentuating her features with a subtle smokey eye and a mauve lip.

Moore’s style has come a long way since her first Oscars appearance in 1989, when she designed her own outfit. There to support her then-husband Bruce Willis, the actress wore a dress-bodysuit hybrid that comprised of black Spandex bike shorts and a long-sleeved corset with puff sleeves and a cape that featured a metallic floral print fabric on its underside.

Unfortunately, the DIY look landed Moore on the worst-dressed list, but she made up for it during her next appearance in 1992. On that occasion, she wore a lilac Versace gown with a floral-embroidered bodice and matching opera gloves.
Back in January, Moore reacted to being nominated for her first Oscar. “Being nominated for an Oscar is an incredible honor and these last few months have been beyond my wildest dreams,” she said of her surprise in a statement to People. “Truly there are no words to fully express my joy and overwhelming gratitude for this recognition. Not only for me but for what this film represents.”
She added, “I am deeply humbled.”
