‘That Doesn’t Even Look like Her Face Anymore’: 62-Year-Old Demi Moore’s Look Sparks a Stir at the 2025 Oscars

Demi Moore arrived at the 97th Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on March 2, dazzling in a shimmering ensemble. While many admired her elegance, others speculated that her appearance had changed, sparking debate on social media.

The 62-year-old actress graced the red carpet in a custom Armani Privé gown by Giorgio Armani, its intricate embellishments and sculpted silhouette enhancing her striking presence.

The silver design featured a plunging neckline and delicate straps. To complete the look, she adorned herself with dazzling Chopard jewelry and slipped into sleek Christian Louboutin heels.

Makeup artist Sofia Schwarzkopf-Tilbury gave her a flawless complexion and radiant glow, while Brad Goreski styled her long, dark hair into soft, elegant waves.

More photographs captured the Moore from multiple angles—one close-up showcasing her smooth complexion and smile, another capturing her full-body pose as she waved, and a third depicting her inside the venue.

However, reactions online were divided. “That doesn’t even look like her face anymore. Am I the only one that sees that?” one user commented. Another wrote, “Her cheeks and smile look odd to me.” A third briefly remarked, “Implants.”

One critic questioned why people alter their faces instead of embracing natural aging. Another viewer pointed out facial proportions, noting that something about the balance of her features seemed off.

Meanwhile, fans defended her. A different user complimented her look, calling her gown “classy” and remarking on how youthful she appeared. Someone else echoed the same sentiment, “Demi is beautiful!!! Classy always!!! ❤️”

Others highlighted her presence, with some expressing hope that she would take home an award.

Despite the online debate, Moore appeared to enjoy the occasion, smiling for the cameras and engaging with fellow attendees throughout the night.

As a Best Actress nominee for “The Substance,” Moore joined a competitive lineup alongside Cynthia Erivo for “Wicked,” Karla Sofía Gascón for “Emilia Pérez,” and Fernanda Torres for “I’m Still Here.”

Although Mikey Madison ultimately won the award for her performance in “Anora,” Moore remained a standout presence, celebrating the night with grace.

Although she didn’t take home the Oscar, Moore had already secured three major wins this year at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, Critics Choice Awards, and Golden Globes—all while making a stylish statement.

Demi Moore graced the Screen Actors Guild Awards on February 23. Her bold fashion choice at the event had social media buzzing with mixed reactions. Fans weighed in on everything from the fit of her gown to her undeniable beauty.

Moore made a striking entrance at the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles, donning a custom strapless leather corset gown by Bottega Veneta. The dress featured a tiered pleated skirt, which added a dramatic touch to her look.

She complemented the ensemble with a stunning yellow gold and diamond necklace and bracelet, while elegant heels completed the outfit. Staying true to her signature style, Moore wore her waist-length hair in a sleek center part, styled in soft waves for a flawless finish.

Moore’s fashion choice had some of her fans praising her elegance while others weren’t quite sold on the look. One person expressed, “Could’ve been a cool leather dress but from the hips down, looks [sic] disjointed and messy.”

More fans shared their recommendations, with one person commenting, “They need to dress you classy. These tight dresses are not flattering.” An individual with similar views concurred, “Not her best fitting gown. She looks pretty though.”

Some fans were simply baffled by the choice, with one remarking, “She is so pretty why would she do this to herself. The outfit looks hideous and she can where anything she would want why pick that? Smh [sic].”

Another conflicted fan noted, “Hair, make-up & necklace look beautiful. The dress bodice looks like material from old [sic] vinyl car seat cover & the tiers look like sad drapes in a cheap hotel.”

Another fan had mixed feelings but remained supportive, writing, “I’m not sure about the dress, but she’s mother and looks amazing. I hope she wins tonight and next week.”

Still, not everyone was critical as one admirer commented, “Stunning 🔥” Other people also had nothing but praise. One fan kept it simple, calling her “Perfection!” Another admirer gushed, “Beautiful and Stunning as always🔥🫶🏼.”

At the awards ceremony, Moore took home the trophy for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for her performance in “The Substance.” She was nominated alongside Pamela Anderson, Erivo, Gascón, and Madison.

While accepting her award, Moore reflected on the significance of receiving her SAG card as a teenager in 1978. She described it as a “deeply meaningful” milestone in her career. The actress also expressed gratitude to her fellow actors and acknowledged the lessons she had learned from them over the years.

Moore then opened up on the challenges and triumphs she had experienced throughout her journey but emphasized the importance of pushing on amidst it all.

Moore also spoke to upcoming actors, saying, “As these actors who are having to do it all, I just encourage you, don’t lose sight of the human connection. That’s the work that we do. It’s to be connected to one another.”

Moore also stunned the public at the 2025 Critics Choice Awards with a striking fashion statement. On February 7, the actress arrived on the red carpet in a strapless, corseted gown that highlighted her figure, sparking mixed reactions.

The lower portion of the dress featured a shredded, fringe-like design that cascaded down to her ankles. Keeping accessories minimal, Moore paired the look with sleek black heels.

Her dark brunette hair was styled into an elegant updo, complementing her understated makeup. The bold ensemble quickly became a hot topic online, drawing a mix of admiration and critique.

Moore’s fans praised her daring style. “She looks amazing,” one supporter wrote. Another simply commented, “Gorgeous.”

However, some social media users questioned the design. One critic asked, “Why the weird joystick?” Another added, “I didn’t [sic] a dress could create a camel toe!”

The conversation didn’t stop there. Some took aim at the dress’s structure, with one user expressing, “I wonder if she can breathe in that dress?” Others critiqued the overall style, as someone asked, “What happened to dresses with sleeves? I don’t like this at all.”

For some, the look simply missed the mark. A particularly harsh comment read, “She looks cheap, classless!!!!” while another dismissed the ensemble as “not age-appropriate for Demi.” Despite the criticism, the dress had its defenders. “Lets talk about how fashion can get us talking. REAL fashion, not naked shock value,” one fan wrote.

Moore’s striking gown wasn’t just any red carpet choice—it was a high-fashion statement from Schiaparelli’s Fall 2024 collection, paired with Tiffany & Co. jewelry for an added touch of elegance. But while her ensemble commanded attention, it wasn’t the only reason she stole the spotlight.

Moore won the Critics Choice Award for Best Actress, marking a major career milestone for the Hollywood veteran. The movie star stepped onto the stage at Barker Hangar to accept her award.

Overwhelmed with gratitude, she began her speech by thanking the Critics Choice Association and expressing genuine shock at her win.

She wrapped up her heartfelt message with words of encouragement, “For anybody out there who is still on their journey, still struggling to find their way, trying to get a script made or whatever it is that you do, [just] because it hasn’t happened, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. So just stick with it and know that dreams do come true.”

The year 2025 has been a triumphant one for Moore, marking a new high in her already illustrious career. Awards season has been especially kind to the actress, with the Critics Choice Best Actress win adding to her growing list of accolades.

On January 5, Moore kicked off awards season with a major victory at the 2025 Golden Globes, where she took home Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical Film for her role in the 2024 sci-fi drama “The Substance.” In the film, she delivers a gripping performance as Elisabeth Sparkle, a woman navigating a surreal and unsettling transformation.

Moore’s Golden Globe win was no small feat, as she was up against an impressive lineup of nominees. Among them were Zendaya for her performance in the sports romance drama “Challengers” and Erivo, who portrayed Elphaba in the highly praised film, “Wicked.”

The category also included Amy Adams, Madison, and Gascón, making Moore’s victory even more significant. With back-to-back wins and a career-defining role, Moore continues to prove that her Hollywood reign is far from over.ss
