Zendaya, one of Hollywood's best-dressed actresses, was notably absent from Sunday's 2025 Oscars red carpet.

The red carpet for the 97th annual Academy Awards ceremony has wrapped up—and fiancés Zendaya and Tom Holland were nowhere to be found. While some fans may have hoped for a rare joint appearance from the couple,

Zendaya and Tom Holland chose not to attend this year’s Oscars. The newly engaged couple was not seen at the Academy Awards despite Zendaya’s film Dune: Part Two having a Best Picture nomination.
