Clear the runway, roll out the extra-glam carpet, and prepare for some serious slayage—Raye and Doja Cat have arrived at the 2025 Academy Awards, and they did NOT come to play.
The 27-year-old queen of heartbreak bops (seriously, she wrote a song called “Oscar Winning Tears”—manifestation at its finest) and the 29-year-old feline-inspired hitmaker (who could drop a song about brushing her teeth and it would still go viral) strutted onto the red carpet at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, ready to turn the night upside down.
Now, the real mystery of the evening? WHAT are they performing?! The Academy has been tight-lipped about it, which means we’re either in for a mind-blowing spectacle… or Hollywood’s biggest game of charades. Either way, it’s going to be iconic.
And because one pop queen is never enough, their “Born Again” collaborator Lisa is also gracing the event with her presence and will be taking the stage too. The power this trio holds? Unmatched.
Fashion Check-In!
🛑 Raye: Dripping in custom Vivienne Westwood and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, proving that she doesn’t just make music—she makes statements.
🛑 Doja Cat: Dressed in custom Balmain, Messika High jewelry, and Amina Muaddi shoes, serving couture, chaos, and probably an unexpected TikTok moment before the night is over.
Meanwhile, Conan O’Brien is taking the Oscars hosting mic for the first time, meaning we’re in for a night of dad jokes, savage roasts, and the occasional “Wait, did he just say that?!” moment.
Leading the nominations this year? Emilia Perez with 13 nods, while The Brutalist and Wicked trail behind with 10 each. (Somewhere, Ariana Grande is singing “Thank U, Next” to her competition.)
