Prior to the Academy Awards on March 2, 2025, Hollywood stars gathered for the Governors Awards on November 17. This event, formerly known as the Honorary Oscars, honors recipients not only for their contributions to cinema but also for their charitable efforts. Celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence, Selena Gomez, and Daniel Craig attended the event at the Ray Dolby Ballroom in Los Angeles, showcasing their stylish outfits on the red carpet.
Although the Governors Awards may lack the ostentation of the Oscars, many attendees donned tuxedos and elegant gowns. However, some opted for more casual styles, looking as though they were headed for a relaxed evening rather than a prestigious awards ceremony. Others tried to make bold fashion statements but missed the mark entirely, showcasing outfits that didn’t quite hit the right note for an event of such prominence.
Melissa Leo’s Prairie Look
Among the many floral dresses at this year’s Governors Awards, Melissa Leo’s bright yellow outfit stood out – but not in a positive way. The “Prisoners” actress seemed overwhelmed by the excessive floral pattern, which felt too relaxed for an awards event. She paired her dress with a black beaded necklace, gray tights, and casual shoes that resembled clogs. The overall impression seemed more fitting for a casual gathering than a high-profile awards show.
Connie Britton’s Velvet Dress Miss
Connie Britton typically experiments with vibrant colors at red carpet events, but this time her raspberry velvet dress didn’t quite make the cut. Perhaps aiming for a festive feel with a large bow on her shoulder, the outfit instead evoked a family holiday portrait. With a slouchy fit and her hand positioned awkwardly on her hip, Britton appeared disinterested in the event.
Kevin Costner’s Confusing Linen Tuxedo
Post-divorce, Kevin Costner’s fashion choices have garnered attention, and his appearance at the November 17 Governors Awards was no exception. Breaking away from traditional black-tie attire, he opted for a taupe linen jacket paired with champagne-hued lapels. His mismatched bowtie added to the confusion, leading many to question his style choices in this new phase of life.
Amy Adams in Casual Mode
Amy Adams also took a more relaxed approach at the Governors Awards with a black button-down shirt featuring oversized sleeves. She combined it with a high-waisted striped skirt, but the overall ensemble lacked excitement. The billowing nature of the shirt presented an unflattering look, and choices like a more dramatic skirt or a dressier top might have elevated her appearance for this prestigious event.
On Sundays, Amy Poehler Wears Silver

Amy Poehler’s metallic silver top at the Governors Awards was reminiscent of the Tin Man from Oz. The shiny fabric and loose black pants gave her an unexpected look, mixing a disco vibe with a warrior essence. While the shirt’s oversized shoulder pads added some definition, the fit was unflattering overall. Regina George would likely advise against this outfit.
