The Oscars are several months away yet, but we've just been given a glimpse of some of the red carpet glamour we can expect from the ceremony.

Stars of the screen have assembled in Los Angeles for the annual Governors Awards, hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

From Jennifer Lawrence and Sydney Sweeney to Hugh Jackman and The Rock, the guest list included some of the most talked-about celebrities of 2025.

Sweeney, who's made headlines this year for all kinds of reasons, glittered under the lights in a white gown covered in silver detailing.

An even more eye-catching detail was revealed when she turned around, with a train of fabric flowing from around the bodice of her dress and onto the carpet behind her.

Also wearing a striking white dress was Laurence, who gave Grecian goddess energy thanks to the drapery of her outfit.
