Adrien Brody and Georgina Chapman got fancy in dress shoes at the 2025 Oscars in Los Angeles on Sunday night.
For the event, Chapman opted for a pair of strappy sandals that were likely the 85mm rhinestone-embellished sandals from Casadei, which further complimented her elegant dress. Crafted with calf leather material, the shoes were defined by an almond-toe design in the upper, which is in-line with what the stars have been choosing for their appearances and outings this year.
A popular choice year-round for celebrities due to its versatility, the silhouette also included a front strap with a rhinestone embellishment, and a strap-closing consisting of a slender ankle buckle strap that secured her feet in place as she walked alongside with her husband.

Rounding out the footwear was a stiletto heel that clocked in at 3 inches in height. For her outfit, Chapman chose an off-the-shoulder black suede gown that offered a fitted design and a curved hem. She accessorized her dress with a pair of silver earrings, keeping her makeup simple.
As for Brody, he was seen in a sleek pair of black oxfords that featured glossy patent leather material. Offering a clean-cut look as he walked down the red carpet next to his wife, the dress shoes were completed by a block heel that clocked in at roughly 1.5 inches, with the musician choosing a 3-piece suit for the occasion, emphasized by its sharp tailoring, svelte lines and a matching black bowtie.
Classic oxfords have the same storied history with their inception dating back to the early 1800s era at Oxford University when they were considered a rebellious alternative to the popular knee-high and ankle-high boots of that time period. Many brands including Cole Haan, Gucci and Burberry offer different variations of oxford shoes.
The 2025 Oscars, officially known as the 97th Academy Awards, take place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, with Conan O’Brien serving as host for the evening. The ceremony honors movies released in 2024, including “Wicked,” “The Substance,” “The Brutalist, “A Complete Unknown,” “Emilia Perez” and more. Notable nominees for acting categories include Zoe Saldaña, Ariana Grande, Demi Moore, Colman Domingo and more.
