Doja Cat Stuns in Custom Leopard-Print Gown at 2025 Oscars

The intricately crafted Balmain dress took 5,600 hours to create as Doja Cat prepares for a highly anticipated performance during the ceremony.

Doja Cat wore a custom-made leopard-print sequined gown by Olivier Rousteing for Balmain, inspired by a 1953 Pierre Balmain design.
The strapless mermaid-style gown featured a deep sweetheart neckline and was hand-embroidered by 46 artisans over 5,600 hours.
Doja Cat accessorized with mixed-metal jewelry, including a gold necklace, silver earrings, and long acrylic nails, completing her striking look.
She is scheduled to perform alongside collaborators Raye and Blackpink’s Lisa in a musical segment celebrating creativity and resilience in Los Angeles, rather than focusing on nominated songs.
This marks Doja Cat’s first Oscars appearance, and the singer has expressed interest in acting, hinting at potential future ventures in film.
