Get ready for a splash of slime and a whole lot of star power! The 2025 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards were a night to remember, filled with unforgettable moments, dazzling fashion, and of course, plenty of that iconic green goo. First-time host Tyla brought her A-game to the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, keeping the energy high throughout the evening. From gravity-defying skateboard tricks to electrifying musical performances, the show had it all.
This year’s nominees were a who’s-who of entertainment royalty. Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, and Kendrick Lamar led the pack with four nominations each, battling it out for the coveted Nickelodeon blimp. But the competition was fierce, with Jack Black, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Selena Gomez, and Jelly Roll hot on their heels with three nominations apiece. The anticipation was palpable as fans eagerly awaited the winners’ announcements.
The red carpet was a kaleidoscope of color and creativity. Many stars embraced the night’s theme, incorporating splashes of green into their outfits. Cesily Collette Taylor, fresh off her success in *Wicked*, stunned in an all-green ensemble, while YouTuber Markell Washington added a touch of slime-inspired flair with bright green shoulder pads on his sophisticated brown suit. It was clear that everyone was ready to embrace the playful spirit of the event.
Beyond the established stars, the KCA’s also welcomed a wave of fresh talent. Nominees like Gracie Abrams, Cynthia Erivo, Chappell Roan, and Shaboozey experienced the thrill of the slime for the very first time – a truly unforgettable Nickelodeon initiation! The rumored recipe? Vanilla pudding, applesauce, green food coloring, and a dash of oatmeal. Yum? Maybe.
Adam Sandler, the first-ever recipient of the King of Comedy Award, continued his KCA reign by receiving the esteemed accolade for a second time. His incredible contributions across film, television, and music have cemented his status as a true legend. And with two orange blimps already under his belt (for *The Super Mario Bros. Movie* and *Kung Fu Panda*), he is undeniably a KCA icon.
One of the most anticipated performances of the night came from KATSEYE, the Los Angeles-based girl group whose meteoric rise to fame was documented in the 2024 Netflix docuseries *Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE*. Their stage presence was electrifying, truly living up to the hype.
But the night wasn’t just about the big names. We also saw appearances from a multitude of other talented stars, each bringing their unique style and energy to the red carpet. From Victoria Monét’s glamorous look to Brooke Monk’s vibrant outfit, the red carpet was a true spectacle. Even skateboarding legend Tony Hawk made an appearance, proving that the KCA’s appeal transcends age and genre. Scroll through the gallery below to see all the stunning looks from the night!
