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.”

“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.”
