Some measure the days by the changing of weather or the duration between sunrise and sunset. We mark time in red carpet occasions. We’ve journeyed past awards season, taken a detour through fashion month, and hopped over to the Met Gala, with a quick layover in Cannes. The treasure at the end? A bounty of fantastic red carpet ensembles we can’t stop thinking about, whether that’s Arianna Grande in gravity defying Schiapparelli at the Oscars or Pedro Pascal sans sleeves in Cannes.
Ahead we’ve rounded up our fifteen favorite celebrity moments from the first half of 2025—and the year’s not even over yet. (Don’t worry. Just blink and we’ll be here with the final 2025 list.)
