The Most Iconic Oscars Dresses Of All Time, According To Ksenija Lukich

When it comes to an iconic red carpet moment, E! host Ksenija Lukich knows what she's talking about. She's travelled the world interviewing some of the world's biggest names, and has herself, become known for her daring red carpet looks. Ahead of the 91st Academy Awards at Los Angeles' Dolby Theatre on February 25, Ksenija has rounded up her pick for the most iconic Oscars red carpet dresses of all time.

Audrey Hepburn; 1954 in Givenchy 

"This gown almost always ends up on peoples fav Oscars looks but for good reason. The classic 19050's silhouette and Hepburn's TINY waist is pure genius. She oozes class and poise."

"This gown was pretty divisive because of the unusual top but I love the beading so much. Cate always blends elegance and fashion so seamlessly."

Mila Kunis; 2011 in Elie Saab
"This is still one of my favourite red carpet gowns of all time. I actually saved this look as a wedding dress reference! The colour is divine and I love the romantic draping."

Angelina Jolie; 2012 in Versace
"Ah the leg dress. This gown is iconic, and despite the hilariousness of the memes that came from it I still think this gown is the epitome of Hollywood glam. If you've got it, flaunt it."

Cher; 1973 in Bob Mackie
"Before Kim Kardashian wore this as a Halloween costume (and nailed it might I add) Cher showed everyone her killer abs in this genie-inspired look by Bob Mackie. Only Cher could get away with this and for that, I am forever grateful!"

Jennifer Lawrence; 2011 in Calvin Klein
"2011 was a good year! The simplicity of this gown is why I love it so much. This was Jen's first Oscars and she wasn't particularly well known at the time. This dress helped put her on the map."

Gwyneth Paltrow; 2012 in Tom Ford
"We all love Gwyneth's Ralph Lauren pink gown from 1999 but I love the elegance of this white Tom Ford creation. I'm obsessed with the cape and the beautiful neckline."
