Audrey Hepburn in Givenchy, 1954

Audrey Hepburn’s influence on trends is undeniable, and her iconic red-carpet looks are a testament to that. Who can forget the night she won Best Actress for Roman Holiday? She stunned in a stunning tea-length beige gown with intricate floral embroidery and a delicate belt accentuating her waist. The 1950s-inspired design not only showcased Hepburn’s effortless elegance but also set the standard for future generations of fashion icons.

Grace Kelly in Edith Head, 1955

Renowned as a style icon by the Fairy community, Grace Kelly’s fashion legacy is unparalleled. The iconic actress has been immortalized in various ways, including having a Hermes bag named after her. Edith Head, her go-to designer, also created her stunning wedding dress. One of Kelly’s most memorable red carpet moments was when she accepted the Best Actress Oscar in 1955 for her role in ‘The Country Girl.

‘ For this occasion, Kelly stunned in a pale blue satin column dress with a straight neckline and elegant elbow-length gloves. The dress, although not white, made a lasting impact with its clean silhouette, setting a trend that still inspires fashion enthusiasts today.

Angelica Huston in Halston, 1975

Angelia Huston’s stunning choice for the 1975 Academy Awards was a gorgeous Halston dress that caught everyone’s attention. She wore a pale beige gown with pink iridescent sequins resembling fish scales, giving her a mermaid-like appearance. Interestingly, despite being a model for Halston, she actually purchased the dress from Neiman Marcus just two days prior to the awards ceremony, which took place on a Friday.

Gwyneth Paltrow in Prada, 1996

The spotlight shone bright on Gwyneth Paltrow and her partner at their Oscars debut, but it was her stunning ensemble that truly stole the show. A perfectly sequined slip dress in a pale pink hue took center stage, paired with a matching pashmina that added a touch of sophistication. The 90s nod was undeniable, and we can’t help but wonder who designed this showstopping look – Calvin Klein, naturally.

Kate Moss in vintage Dior, 2007

Kate Moss stunned at a party at the Victoria & Albert Museum, where she celebrated the launch of the Dior exhibition alongside fashion photographer Mario Testino. The British supermodel wore a breathtaking vintage gold satin dress, featuring a two-foot train and billowy sleeves that were cinched at the elbow. However, her glamorous look was briefly marred when Courtney Love inadvertently trod on the delicate fabric, causing a rip to form.

Undeterred, Moss expertly tied the dress just below her hip, saving the day. The iconic gown has since been donated to charity and still stands as a stunning Victorian-inspired bridal gown.

Blake Lively in Chanel Haute Couture, 2014

Blake Lively’s red carpet appearance at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival is undeniably captivating. Her alluring presence would leave anyone smitten if she walked into their life looking as stunning as she did that evening. For the Mr. Turner premiere, Blake opted for a show-stopping Chanel gown, its fitted silhouette accentuated by sequins and a daring plunge that transported us back to the glamour of Gossip Girl’s Serena Van Der Woodsen era.

Her overall look was elevated by Sophia Webster Etta shoes in perfect harmony with her fresh mint green wrap, resulting in an effortless elegance that left a lasting impression.

Liberty Ross in John Galliano, 2016

Liberty Ross’s appearance at the Oscars Vanity Fair After Party was a masterclass in effortless elegance. Just two weeks removed from her own wedding, Ross stunned in her own wedding dress, exuding a radiant glow that was undoubtedly the result of her recent nuptials.

Margot Robbie in Chanel Haute Couture, 2018

We have a soft spot for style icons from around the world, but our love for Australian ones is unparalleled. Margot Robbie’s stunning appearance in Byron Bay is a testament to this affection. Her jaw-dropping white Chanel gown with intricate beaded off-the-shoulder straps left everyone in awe. However, things took an unexpected turn when one of the straps fell apart during her Oscar-nominated film premiere for I, Tonya.

Despite the mishap, Margot’s quick thinking and resourcefulness kicked in as she expertly stitched the strap back together with the help of her crew’s sewing kit. Interestingly, this masterpiece of a dress took 680 hours to create, only to be compromised by a mere minute of wear. The image of this ordeal has been captured by Jordan Strauss/ AP.
