Demi Moore, 62, Rocks a Strapless Corseted Dress at the Critics Choice Awards, Sparking Mixed Reactions

Demi Moore turned heads at the 2025 Critics Choice Awards with a striking fashion statement. The 62-year-old actress arrived on the red carpet in a strapless, corseted gown that highlighted her figure.

The lower portion of the dress featured a shredded, fringe-like design that cascaded down to her ankles. Keeping accessories minimal, Moore paired the look with sleek black heels.

Her dark brunette hair was styled into an elegant updo, complementing her understated makeup. The bold ensemble quickly became a hot topic online, drawing a mix of admiration and critique.

Meanwhile, Moore’s fans came to her defense, praising her daring style. “She looks amazing,” one supporter wrote. Another simply commented, “Gorgeous.”

Some social media users questioned the design. One critic asked, “Why the weird joystick?” Another added, “I didn’t [sic] a dress could create a camel toe!”

The conversation didn’t stop there. Some took aim at the dress’ structure, with one user wondering, “I wonder if she can breathe in that dress?” Others critiqued the overall style, lamenting, “What happened to dresses with sleeves? I don’t like this at all.”

For some, the look simply missed the mark. A particularly harsh comment read, “She looks cheap, classless!!!!” while another dismissed the ensemble as “not age-appropriate for Demi.” Despite the criticism, the dress had its defenders. “Lets talk about how fashion can get us talking. REAL fashion, not naked shock value,” one fan wrote.

Moore’s striking gown wasn’t just any red carpet choice—it was a high-fashion statement from Schiaparelli’s Fall 2024 collection, paired with Tiffany & Co. jewelry for an added touch of elegance. But while her ensemble commanded attention, it wasn’t the only reason she stole the spotlight.

The Critics Choice Awards 2025 crowned Moore as its Best Actress, marking a major career milestone for the Hollywood veteran. The Substance star took home the prestigious honor on Friday, February 7, and stepped onto the stage at Barker Hangar to accept her award.

Overwhelmed with gratitude, Moore, 62, began her speech by thanking the Critics Choice Association and expressing genuine shock at her win.

She wrapped up her heartfelt message with words of encouragement, “For anybody out there who is still on their journey, still struggling to find their way, trying to get a script made or whatever it is that you do, [just] because it hasn’t happened, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. So just stick with it and know that dreams do come true.”

The year 2025 has been a triumphant one for Moore, marking a new high in her already illustrious career. Awards season has been especially kind to the actress, with the Critics Choice Best Actress win adding to her growing list of accolades.

Earlier this year, Moore kicked off awards season with a major victory at the 2025 Golden Globes, where she took home Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical Film for her role in the 2024 sci-fi drama “The Substance.” In the film, she delivers a gripping performance as Elisabeth Sparkle, a woman navigating a surreal and unsettling transformation.

Moore’s Golden Globe win was no small feat, as she was up against an impressive lineup of nominees. Among them were Zendaya for her performance in the sports romance drama “Challengers” and Cynthia Erivo, who portrayed Elphaba in the highly praised film, “Wicked.”

The category also included Amy Adams, Mikey Madison, and Karla Sofía Gascón, making Moore’s victory all the more significant. With back-to-back wins and a career-defining role, Demi Moore is proving that her Hollywood reign is far from over.
