Madison, Chalamet, Deadwyler and more: The Oscars red carpet is sure to include some stunners
NEW YORK — Oscars glam got off to a strong start Sunday with both subtle and bold displays of glam as fans anticipated the arrivals of Hollywood's biggest stars. Julianne Hough kicked things off in an elegant light beige ethereal look straight off the Christian Dior spring 2025 runway. Joan Chen also went fairy-like in green chartreuse, an off-shoulder number from the Elie Saab resort 2025 collection. Mikey Madison, Demi Moore, Timothée Chalamet, Danielle Deadwyler, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are among A-listers with red carpet wow momentum heading into the Oscars. The 97th Oscars come less than two months after the devastating Los Angeles fires subdued carpet dressing for a time. As the city moves into rebuild mode, stars have been upping their fashion games heading into the biggest awards night of the season. Some are notable for playing it glam but safe. Like Margot Robbie's Barbie pink, Grande has been mostly sticking to a far paler hue, her signature and an homage to her 'Wicked' good witch, Glinda. Castmate and carpet bestie Erivo has always taken fashion risks. She ditched her Elphaba black for last week's Screen Actors Guild awards, opting for a silver Givenchy look with a high shaggy collar worthy of her bad witch role. Chalamet has been all over the place on carpet dressing as he navigates his Bob Dylan attention from 'A Complete Unknown.' At the SAGs, he married a bright brat green button-up shirt from Chrome Hearts with a shiny black leather suit and a bolo tie as he continues to channel the real-life icon he plays. Deadwyler is a risk-taker, too. She wore a bright red strapless 3D structured tiered gown from Louis Vuitton at the SAGs. Some planning to attend as nominees and presenters have generated fashion buzz for different reasons. Jeremy Strong wore a mint green velvet Loro Piana suit with a bucket hat in the same color to the Golden Globes. His white turtleneck topped it all off. He's nominated for supporting actor at the Oscars. At the SAGs, strong wore a different shade of green. It was a dusty green for a custom Haans Nicholas Mott suit with satin shawl lapels. He wore it with a bowtie. Madison, a new fashion darling, was among several stars to go vintage at the recent dinner for Oscar nominees. The star of 'Anora' wore a dark blue velvet gown by Bill Blass from 1987. She collected a BAFTA award earlier this month in a custom Prada in ivory, accessorizing with a long matching stole and a vintage Tiffany & Co. diamond necklace. She also went Hollywood bombshell at the SAGs with a strapless silver Louis Vuitton look with a large pleated bow at the waist. She's been working with stylist Jamie Mizrahi, who has dressed Adele and Jennifer Lawrence, among many other celebs. How to watch the Oscars red carpet How can I watch the red carpet? Oscar nominees and winners from past, present and future pose and mingle ahead of the ceremony. The Associated Press will have a livestream of stars' arrivals available on and YouTube now. E! will kick off its show, 'Live From E!: The Oscars,' beginning at 5 p.m. Central. ABC will begin its red carpet pre-show at 7:30 p.m. Central, live on air and streaming on Hulu.

San Francisco's Chinese New Year Parade is Saturday. Here's what to know.
Tens of thousands of people will descend on San Francisco this Saturday to enjoy the annual Chinese New Year Parade that kicks off early that evening. This year's parade celebrates the Year of the Snake. The annual parade in San Francisco is thought to be the largest such lunar new year celebration outside of China. There will also be a two-day Community Street Fair held in San Francisco's Chinatown on Grant Ave. between California and Broadway. The fair will be held from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, with more than 120 booths and concessions as well as an entertainment stage located on Pacific Ave. below Grant Ave., organizers said. When and where does the parade start? The Chinese New Year Parade begins at 5:15 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 15. The parade starts at 2nd and Market St. and proceeds via Market to Geary, turning right onto Powell and then Post before turning left and proceeding down Kearny to Columbus where it will disband between Pacific and Washington. The parade staging area is on Market St. from 2nd to Beale, Second Street from Market to Mission, and Main Street from Market to Harrison. The distance of the parade route is approximately 1.3 miles and the procession takes approximately 2.5 hours from start to finish. While there is space to watch the free parade from sidewalks along the route, many families opt to purchase seats in the bleacher sections that are set up at several points along the route. The bleacher sections are located at Geary between Stockton and Powell, Post between Grant and Kearny and two sections on Kearny between California and Sacramento and Washington and Jackson. Bleacher tickets must be purchased in advance online to sit in the bleacher sections, but those tickets are already sold out. Officials note that the route gets more crowded as the parade gets closer to Chinatown. Who is appearing in the parade? The renowned actress Joan Chen is serving as the grand marshal of this year's parade. She first came to global fame for her portrayal of Empress Wanrong in director Bernardo Bertolucci Oscar-nominated historical epic The Last Emperor before starring in the David Lynch/Mark Frost television series "Twin Peaks" as Josie Packard. While she would continue to act in both American and Chinese film productions, Chen moved into directing in 1998 with the critically acclaimed film Xiu Xiu: The Sent Down Girl. More recently, Chen received rave reviews playing the caring and compassionate mother to a rebellious teenager in the 2023 coming of age comedy-drama Dìdi. A variety of San Francisco politicians and local entertainers are also expected to attend. How will the parade impact traffic? A number of streets in the Financial District will be closed for parade staging and for the parade itself, according to the SFMTA. The streets will reopen after the parade is clear and streets are cleaned, at approximately 9:30 p.m. There will be no street parking allowed along the parade route, which will impact parking and traffic throughout downtown starting early Saturday afternoon. Parking will be available at public garages located in Union Square, Chinatown and North Beach. Drivers are advised to avoid the area for the most of the day due to the scheduled street closures and anticipated traffic congestion. People attending the parade are advised to use public transportation given the additional traffic expected in San Francisco due to the weekend festivities related to the NBA All-Star Game. The closest BART and Muni Metro station to the start of the parade route is Montgomery Station. The Powell Station is also nearby. Muni service will also be free for the entire weekend with the exception of the cable car lines. Many downtown Muni routes will reroute or switchback -- changing from inbound to outbound. Additionally, most Market St. routes will operate on Mission St. instead. Routes that cross Market St. will be rerouted around the event areas. Reroutes for parade closures begin at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. A complete list of impacted bus, streetcar and cable car lines is available at the SFMTA website. The Chinese New Year Parade website also offers transit information. More information about the festivities can be found at
