Red carpet: 10 of the most beautiful Oscars celebrity dresses of all time
The annual Oscar ceremony has been held since 1929. Since then, from year to year, celebrities have never ceased to amaze viewers with their outfits. In this article, we have collected the 10 most beautiful dresses worn by stars at the Oscars throughout the history of the award.
In 1954, actress Audrey Hepburn appeared at the ceremony in a floral dress with a full skirt from Givenchy. This dress was a real triumph and became the best dress of the ceremony according to Time magazine.

One of the best outfits of 1975 was Lauren Hutton's Halston dress. It combined several pastel shades and had a deep neckline. The fur coat that Lauren threw over the dress added a special chic to the look.

In 1991, Madonna appeared in a sparkling Bob Mackie dress on the arm of Michael Jackson. On the eve of the ceremony, the singer announced that her image would be completely new to her, but recognizable. On the day of the award, viewers were convinced of this personally, because the outfit was inspired by the style of Marilyn Monroe.

The 1997 awards were remembered for Nicole Kidman's bright satin dress from Dior. The rich color, neckline and floral embroidery distinguished this dress from most evening dresses of the time and certainly attracted attention to the actress.

One of the legendary outfits was Angelina Jolie's Versace dress, in which she attended the award in 2012. The asymmetrical cut and cut looked very striking, and the rich black color added drama.

One of the best outfits of this year was Scarlett Johansson's Oscar de la Renta dress. The dress itself looked very laconic, but the metallic color and corset, decorated with silver threads, added some zest. And the main element of the image was the actress’s jewelry, which cost about $2.5 million.

Costume Institute Ball 2017: the best red carpet looks
On the night of Sunday to Monday, the Costume Institute Ball, better known as the Met Gala, took place in New York. The theme of the 2020 event was the work of Japanese designer Rei Kawakubo and her brand Comme des Garçons. Thanks to her works, the world learned about Japanese avant-garde fashion and deconstructivism in clothing. Her fashion legacy during her lifetime has been the subject of study by critics and fashion historians. The stars were not too willing to follow Rey’s precepts, so not everyone followed the dress code of the ceremony. Some, like Kim Kardashian or Nicki Minaj, were not going to follow him, choosing obviously predictable outfits in their own style. One way or another, few people shocked or surprised with their outfits this year (Rihanna and Katy Perry don't count). The dresses, as always, were different: revealing and not so revealing, avant-garde and traditional, straight and fluffy. In our review - 14 of the best appearances at the Met Gala 2017.
Selena Gomez in Coach
Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez chose a white long dress with a deep slit from Coach for the Costume Institute Ball. It is really successful: the decor is unobtrusive, the dress is devoid of excessive frankness. Selena also successfully chose copper-colored sandals and a small handbag.
Anna Wintour in Chanel
Anna Wintour
American Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour traditionally chose a sparkling canary yellow dress from Chanel for the Costume Institute Ball. Wintour, the all-powerful mistress of fashion, remained true to herself and her style. Which, however, is not just successful - luxurious.
Reese Witherspoon in Mugler

An asymmetrical dress with a sparkly corset top from Mugler suited Reese Witherspoon's Legally Blonde look.
Paris Jackson in Calvin Klein By Appointment
Paris Jackson
The young heiress of Michael Jackson chose a black dress with a slit on the stomach from Calvin Klein By Appointment for the evening event. It provided the perfect backdrop for Paris to express her personality. Jewelry includes tattoos and miniature earrings.
Lupita Nyong'o in Prada
Lupita Nyong'o
Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong'o showed off her beautiful Prada dress. A beautiful peach shade combined with feather decoration and an open top created a very delicate and pleasing look.
Jennifer Lopez in Valentino
Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez for the 2017 Met Gala chose a sky blue dress designed by Pierpaolo Piccioli, creative director of Valentino. This time the singer refrained from excessive exposure, which only benefited her image. The sparkle of diamonds in the ears and on the wrists complemented the color of the dress and Lopez's dark skin tone.
Blake Lively in Atelier Versace
Blake Lively
Blake Lively, who chose a long dress with a hem decorated with blue and blue feathers, stole the show on the red carpet. It doesn’t matter that this luxurious dress is on the other pole of fashion from the work of Rei Kawakubo - who cares about these details?
Ruth Negga in Valentino
Ruth Negga
Another fan of the Valentino House is Ruth Negga. For the red carpet (aka beige), Negga chose a white dress adorned with rows of appliqués.
Miranda Kerr in Oscar de la Renta
Miranda Kerr
Evan Spiegel's fiancée Miranda Kerr chose an Oscar de la Renta princess dress with a full skirt and an open top for the Costume Institute Ball. The supermodel and Victoria's Secret "angel" also remained true to herself and her exaggeratedly feminine and refined style. Pantsuit? Theme of the evening? No, I have not heard.
Natalia Vodianova in Diane von Furstenberg
Natalya Vodyanova
Supermodel, mother of five children and philanthropist Natalia Vodianova chose a dress by designer Diane von Furstenberg for the Met Gala. And she was right - her look was included in the list of successful appearances: the beautiful pastel shade of the dress in combination with a yellow collar and belt suited Natalia, and the straight cut emphasized her slender figure. The cut also added moderate sex appeal to the celebrity’s image.
Cara Delevingne in Chanel
Cara Delevingne
Kara was included in the list of people who surprised on the red carpet. The model experiment turned out to be extremely successful. Cara, who recently shaved her head, dyed her head silver, and the silver suit, complemented by a silver belt and silver pumps, created a very futuristic look - very much in the spirit of next season's Chanel.
Julianne Moore in Calvin Klein
Julianne Moore
Julianne Moore, wearing a feathered Calvin Klein dress and matching jewelry, was undoubtedly one of the best on the 2017 Met Gala red carpet.
Katy Perry at Maison Margiela
Katy Perry
Katy Perry surprised the crowd with her choice of outfit for the Ball. It’s not that she used to be conservative in matters of style; on the contrary, the dress from Moschino two years ago was no less surprising. This time Katie drew attention to an outfit from the latest haute couture collection of Maison Margiela. The look was completed with a mask from the same show. To be fair, it is worth saying that this is not exactly what Kawakubo had in mind in her collections, but there is definitely something in common: avant-garde and a violation of traditional forms.
Rihanna in Comme des Garçons
Rihanna
The queen of the evening, without a doubt, was Rihanna. She is one of the few who chose the Comme des Garçons brand for the red carpet - a surreal dress, as if sewn in several dimensions at once (very much in the spirit of the paintings of the founder of Cubism, Georges Braque). The three-dimensionality of the outfit is only emphasized by its floral print, which refers to traditionalism in clothing, and the “petals” turned inside out. RiRi accessorized her look with strappy sandals, a sparkly watch and several rings.
