Narrowing down a list of the best Oscars dresses of all time is no easy task. But is it a fun one? Absolutely.
It’s wild to see how much red-carpet trends have changed over the decades. Back in the day, A-list actors didn’t even use personal stylists. But now the Oscars red carpet is a full-on industry unto itself, wherein major designers custom-make multiple gowns with the hope that someone like Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, or Reese Witherspoon will choose their creation to wear on one of the world’s biggest stages.
Ahead of the 2024 Oscars and after much debate, we’ve come up with a list of the best Oscars dresses over the years—including Sharon Stone’s lavender Vera Wang skirt that she paired with a men’s button-down in the ’90s, Zendaya's 2022 Valentino look—inspired by Stone's!—and Angelina Jolie’s famous leg slit in 2012. We’ve even got old-school classics from Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor, and Audrey Hepburn.
Who will we add to this list after the 2024 Oscars? Check back to find out.
