There were many unforgettable performances during the 2020 Academy Awards.
Alongside Cynthia Erivo’s powerhouse “Stand Up” rendition and Billie Eilish’s haunting “Yesterday” cover, Idina Menzel captivated audiences with a live performance of Frozen 2’s “Into the Unknown.”

Norwegian singer-songwriter Aurora, who voiced Elsa’s mysterious siren call in the film, joined Idina on stage alongside nine international vocalists who performed the song in their native languages — creating a powerful, multilingual celebration of Frozen’s global reach.
Before the performance, Aurora turned heads on the red carpet in a mint-green kimono-style outfit adorned with red tassels and paired with chunky white platform sneakers, blending ethereal fantasy with contemporary streetwear edge.
