The Oscars are always a night of glamour, but this year, all eyes were on a battle straight out of a fairytale—Rachel Zegler, the new Snow White, and Gal Gadot, the Evil Queen.
The two actresses, who will soon face off on screen in Disney’s live-action Snow White, brought their A-game to the red carpet, but it was clear that one of them completely stole the show. Once again, the Evil Queen outshined Snow White, proving that Gal Gadot remains the true red carpet royalty.
Rachel Zegler may play the title role in Snow White, but at the Oscars, she was anything but the fairest of them all. Despite her efforts to channel elegance and grace, she couldn’t quite match the sheer presence of Gal Gadot.
The former Wonder Woman star stepped onto the red carpet with the confidence of a queen, dominating every camera flash and stealing every glance.
Fans had hoped to see Rachel Zegler deliver a princess-worthy moment, but compared to Gal Gadot’s stunning appearance, she struggled to make an impact. Even side-by-side photos from the event made it clear—this was a competition Rachel had already lost.
Gal Gadot has long been known for her commanding presence, and the Oscars were no exception. Dressed in a show-stopping ensemble that exuded power and sophistication, she effortlessly captured the spotlight.
Her poise, her confidence, and her undeniable aura made it impossible to look away.
It wasn’t just about the outfit—Gal Gadot carried herself with the elegance of a true Hollywood queen. Every pose, every smile, and every movement seemed calculated to perfection.
Whether she was interacting with other stars or simply walking down the red carpet, she radiated the kind of effortless star power that few can match.
On the other hand, Rachel Zegler struggled to make the same kind of impression. While she looked beautiful, there was an undeniable difference in presence. Her look lacked the boldness and sophistication that makes a true red carpet moment unforgettable.
For someone cast as Disney’s most iconic princess, many expected more. Instead, Rachel’s appearance was overshadowed by the very woman playing her on-screen nemesis.
The contrast between the two actresses was striking, and it only fueled the ongoing debate about whether Rachel Zegler truly embodies the role of Snow White.
Fans React: "The Queen Wins Again"
Social media quickly lit up with reactions, and the verdict was clear—Gal Gadot dominated the night. Fans were quick to point out that the real-life Evil Queen once again triumphed over Snow White.
"Gal Gadot is literally the Queen in real life. No one can outshine her."
"Rachel Zegler tried, but next to Gal, she just disappears."
"Maybe they should rewrite Snow White so that the Queen wins because clearly, she already has."
The memes and comparisons flooded the internet, with many joking that the live-action Snow White might have to be renamed The Evil Queen.
With the Snow White movie still on the way, this Oscars moment only adds to the anticipation of their on-screen rivalry. If Gal Gadot can effortlessly steal the spotlight at an awards show, it’s easy to imagine her completely commanding every scene in the movie.
Meanwhile, Rachel Zegler has more pressure than ever to prove she can live up to the legacy of Snow White. If she couldn’t hold her own at the Oscars, will she be able to stand against Gal Gadot in the film?
One thing is certain—whether on the red carpet or on the big screen, the Queen continues to reign supreme.
