2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony Red Carpet: Best Photos

It’s that time of year again, when some of music’s greatest living legends gather together to celebrate one another’s immense impact on culture, with Cyndi Lauper, the White Stripes, Outkast and more getting inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s class of 2025 on Saturday (Nov. 8).

As it is every year, the ceremony was full of all the history, live music and glitz and glamour viewers have come to expect of the annual event. In addition to the many honorees who were in attendance, stars such as Questlove, Jennifer Hudson, Raye and LL Cool J were also present, many of them walking the red carpet at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles before watching and/or taking part in the programming. Fans then saw modern A-listers including Olivia Rodrigo and Chappell Roan help welcome their personal idols into the hall’s hallowed ranks, with the former rocking out alongside Feist to honor the Stripes, and the latter singing “True Colors” and giving a speech to fete Lauper.

In her acceptance — one of several poignant remarks that took place throughout the historic night — Lauper got right to the heart of what the night was all about. “I know that I stand on the shoulders of the women in the industry that came before me, and my shoulders are broad enough to have the women that come after me to stand on mine,” she said. “The little kid in me still believes that rock n’ roll can save the world.”
