Take a look back at the best and worst celeb style moments of August 2025, starting with this bold getup…
Paris Jackson wowed in a perfectly tailored black leather Trussardi gown at the Venice International Film Festival premiere of
Frankenstein in Venice, Italy, on August 30, 2025. The matching opera gloves and plunging neckline — which highlighted her chest piece — more than made up for the bizarre asymmetrical tuft of fabric along the halter, which was giving Yzma from
The Emperor's New Groove.

So close,
Naomi Watts! The Oscar nominee looked gorgeous in a beige Valentino gown at the Venice International Film Festival premiere of
Jay Kelly in Venice, Italy, on August 28, 2025. Her strapless gown featured beautiful beaded floral designs and an absolutely horrific big black bow at the waist. We're not sure we've ever hated a bow so much…

Emma Stone brought back an early 2000s trend — one we gladly would've left in the past! — at the Venice International Film Festival premiere of
Bugonia in Venice, Italy, on August 28, 2025. The Oscar winner donned a sleeveless beaded Louis Vuitton gown featuring a bubble skirt over a longer column-style skirt. If only the fashion house had gone without that unflattering top layer!

Cate Blanchett took the plunge in a black Armani gown with a dangerously low-cut bejeweled neckline (and pockets!) at the opening of the Venice International Film Festival in Venice, Italy, on August 27, 2025. If you thought the look seemed familiar, you'd be right: The Oscar winner
first donned this dramatic dress at the 2022 SAG Awards. Can you blame her for giving it another go?!

Zoe Kravitz knocked it out of the park at the New York City premiere of Caught Stealing at the Regal Union Square theater on August 26, 2025. The actress brought the drama in a bold two-piece Saint Laurent set comprised of a long-sleeve crop-top with a sweetheart neckline and an ultra-low-rise maxi-skirt that flaunted her killer abs. The exceptional look more than made up for the disappointment she delivered earlier in the month. (More on that next!)

Our apologies to Zoe Kravitz, but it's gonna be two thumbs way down from us for the cream Saint Laurent dress — which was basically just a glorified slip — that she wore to the Paris premiere of Caught Stealing on August 21, 2025.

We're rarely impressed by sheer dresses on the red carpet, but we have to admit there was something alluring about the Aadnevik gown that Meagan Good donned during the AAFCA TV Honors in Hollywood on August 23, 2025. The star-embellished sheath featured a draped, corset-style bodice and a completely sheer skirt with a hip-high slit. It was equal parts whimsical and dangerous and made her appear as though she'd landed on the red carpet straight from the heavens.

Dakota Johnson looked like she'd wrapped herself in tinfoil — but in a good way! — at the premiere of Splitsville in Los Angeles on August 19, 2025. The actress wowed in a strapless silver leather Gucci gown with a cinched waist.

Samara Weaving donned a lingerie-inspired Wiederhoeft ensemble at the Beyond Fest premiere of Eenie Meanie at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica, California, on August 19, 2025. The Ready or Not and Nine Perfect Strangers actress paired a black corset-style spaghetti-strap top with a sparkly silver micro-mini featuring lacy black thong underwear and garter belt details on the outside. Unfortunately, this getup came off gaudy instead of edgy, as she likely intended…

Jenna Ortega slayed in a retro-inspired Willy Chavarria ensemble at the Good Morning America studios in New York City on August 4, 2025. The Wednesday actress brought the drama in a skirt-suit featuring a gray blazer with exaggerated shoulders, platform Christian Louboutin pumps and a wide-brim hat that elevated the film noir vibes.

There was no missing Halsey at a special tastemakers screening of Americana at the Desert 5 Spot at Hollywood Volume, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel in Los Angeles on August 3, 2025. The singer-actress paired a corset-style sleeveless Dilara Findikoglu top with distressed and bedazzled Roberto Cavalli jeans that were straight out of the early 2000s. She completed her throwback look with an electric blue bowl-cut bob and a bold burgundy lip.

Oscar-nominated The Color Purple alum Danielle Brooks walked on the wild side at the premiere of the second season of Peacemaker at the AMC Lincoln Square 13 in New York City on August 13, 2025. The Orange Is the New Black actress paired Albina Dyla's Medusa's Curse Corset, which features a bejeweled snake design, with loose-fitting pants that sadly detracted from the top half of her look.
_
Connie Nielsen was a vision in white at the premiere of Nobody 2 at the TCL Chinese Theatre IMAX in Hollywood on August 11, 2025. The blonde beauty, who just turned 60 in July, looked ageless in a spaghetti-strap Hermès column-dress with a square neckline and a midi-length skirt with a slit. If we were going to nitpick, we'd tell her to swap her black Paris Texas heeled sandals for a skin-tone pair.
_
Heidi Klum raised eyebrows with her gaudy getup during a visit to the
Good Morning America studios in New York City on August 6, 2025. The supermodel, who was on hand to promote season 21 of
Project Runway, donned a look created by contestant Belania Daley: a yellow-trim denim dress with sheer sleeves, dramatic cuffs, a completely pointless collar and a polka-dot panel across the skirt.
_
Sydney Sweeney's
divisive behavior continued at a special tastemakers screening of
Americana at the Desert 5 Spot at Hollywood Volume, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel in Los Angeles on August 3, 2025. A few days after
her controversial American Eagle jeans campaign dropped, she donned this questionable ensemble: a custom strapless fit-and-flare Danielle Frankel gown with a drop waist and matching shoes with extra-long toes. To make matters worse, she completed her look with a completely unnecessary forehead-spanning headband.

Morticia Addams would be proud!
Catherine Zeta-Jones knocked it out of the park with her on-theme ensemble to promote
Wednesday on
Good Morning America in New York City on August 5, 2025. She donned a black poppy-embellished Yanina suit comprised of a jacket with a peplum waist and a maxi-skirt and completed her look with bold red pumps.
