All eyes were on Ariana Grande as she made a striking fashion statement at the 2025 Oscars on Sunday. She dazzled in a pale pink, strapless gown featuring a sweetheart neckline. And while many fans on social media compared her dress to a lampshade because of its structured design, others wondered how she was able to sit comfortably in the outfit.

Ariana Grande stood out in a breathtaking Schiaparelli gown featuring a dramatic peplum that flowed into a delicate, gauzy skirt. With its unique design, cinching at the waist before flaring into stiff, scalloped edges over her hips, seemingly defying gravity. The semi-sheer skirt, in a shimmering champagne hue, cascaded to the floor, concealing her footwear.
She completed the look with her hair elegantly pulled back and minimal jewelry for a refined touch.

Many people online applauded the star’s unique sense of style and her daring choice. One fan noted, ”Very interesting dress, not boring!” another added, ”Best dress of the night, hands down.” A third admirer chimed in, ”That dress is couture. It is stunning.”

That said, a great number of online observers compared the outfit to a lampshade.
Someone commented, ”She is such a beautiful and talented young lady. She deserves better than a dress that looks like a lampshade.” Another added, ”That dress reminds me of a lampshade in my great grandma’s house.” A third simply wondered, ”How is she going to sit?”

We think that Ariana looks radiant, and we admire her unique sense of style. Selena Gomez is another star whose recent appearance sparked a lot of comments, and the main focus was her transformed silhouette.
