The Oscars, which is one of the most popular events on the red carpet (along with the Met Gala), is set to take place on March 13 this year, and it's anticipated that there will be many unforgettable fashion moments. It's customary for Hollywood's biggest stars to showcase their most striking ensembles on the red carpet, as stylists often save their most impressive outfits for this occasion. In honour of the grand upcoming event, we are looking back at some of the greatest Oscar dresses of all time.
Zendaya in Valentino, Oscars 2021
Zendaya is known for her impeccable fashion choices, and her dress at the 2021 Oscars is one of her greatest ever. The bold yellow colour makes a statement on its own, but what I appreciate most is her contemporary approach to the traditional full-length gown, which features a tasteful cut-out. The design felt new and exciting, striking the ideal balance between sophistication and comfort.
Amanda Seyfried in Giorgio Armani, Oscars 2021
Amanda Seyfried's striking red tulle dress, which was created by Giorgio Armani, drew inspiration from hibiscus flowers. This dress was consistent with her previous appearances during the awards season, where she maintained a classic, Old Hollywood style that was well-received.
Jennifer Lawrence in Dior, Oscars 2013
Jennifer Lawrence channelled a Parisian Prom Queen look at the 2013 Oscars by wearing a strapless Dior Haute Couture gown. She complemented the dress with a soft and flattering chignon hairstyle and Chopard diamond drop earrings that shimmered at her earlobes. She also carried a Roger Vivier clutch in her well-manicured hand. Despite slipping on her way to accept the award for "Silver Linings Playbook," the 22-year-old actress looked stunning throughout the event.
Angelina Jolie in Versace, Oscars 2012
At the Oscars 2012, Angelina Jolie looked like a vision in a strapless black velvet Atelier Versace gown with a daringly high slit that went beyond her thigh. She worked the slit for the photographers like a red-carpet pro, didn't she?
Scarlett Johansson in Oscar de la Renta, Oscars 2020
Scarlett Johansson made a striking entrance at the 2020 Oscars, with the actress wearing a stunning metallic Oscar de la Renta gown. The soft silk material flattered her figure and flowed elegantly into a train behind her. The highlight of the gown, however, was the nude netted corset that was covered in sparkling fringe threads, which dangled from the gown in different directions. The unique design made it appear as though the dress was unraveling, adding an extra level of intrigue and allure to Johansson's overall look.
