There’s still a ways to go until the 2025 awards season officially concludes, but the film world has already set its sight on the festival circuit. The Sundance Film Festival 2025, which takes place from January 23 to February 2, is officially underway in Park City, Utah. The annual event has developed a reputation for highlighting some of the year’s most exciting independent films, and the 2025 edition is no different with major movie stars and cult directors coming together.
As opposed to the pomp and circumstance of the Venice and Cannes Film Festivals, Sundance does things a bit differently when it comes to red carpet style. Celebrities tend to wear cozy, climate-appropriate designs to the festival’s various events and premieres rather than black-tie looks—think color blocked separates, the occasional parka, and lots and lots of knitwear.
But that isn’t to say a celebrity won’t bring a little something extra to the red carpet every now and then. Look no further than the sheer lace number Jennifer Lopez wore to the Kiss Of The Spider Woman premiere or the ladylike The Row outfit Ayo Edebiri slipped on in support of her new film Opus. For some, Sundance is an opportunity to show off the quirkier, more imaginative side of their fashion sense. For others, it’s simply an opportunity to wear jeans on the red carpet.
Here, all the best celebrity fashion from the Sundance Film Festival 2025.
