Looking as radiant as ever, the 69-year-old EGOT winner stunned on the red carpet in a striking Christian Siriano gown from the Fall/Winter 2025/26 collection. The midnight blue, metallic dress featured an off-the-shoulder neckline, a fitted bodice and a dramatic flared bottom. She completed the elegant look with an updo, oversized studded earrings and a necklace.

Her daughter also made a stylish statement in an all-black ensemble. She wore a chic, one-shoulder gown with a sheer panel and a sky-high slit, pairing it with classic black pumps for a sleek, sophisticated finish.

But beyond the stunning fashion, this moment was extra special—because it marks Goldberg’s first Oscars appearance in nearly a decade.
