Whoopi Goldberg Gleams in Liquid Metal Dress by Christian Siriano on 2025 Oscars Red Carpet with Daughter Alex Martin

Whoopi Goldberg gave old Hollywood glamour a modern twist on Sunday’s 2025 Oscars red carpet in Los Angeles. The actress, who is one of the presenters at the 97th Academy Awards, wore a voluminous ballgown by Christian Siriano.

Goldberg’s dress was made of a rich navy blue fabric with a highly reflective, liquid-like satin finish. It featured an off-the-shoulder neckline with a structured, pleated bodice.

“I wanted the whole beginning of the collection to feel cool and almost a bit more wearable and then it goes into my fantasy world that I love,” Siriano told WWD in February.
