Whether it’s a stunning gown, a daring outfit, or a memorable statement, some celebrities have made history with their style choices. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at some of the most iconic red carpet dresses of all time and why they stand out.
– Audrey Hepburn in Givenchy at the 1954 Oscars. The epitome of elegance and grace, Audrey Hepburn wore a simple but stunning white floral dress by Givenchy to accept her Best Actress award for Roman Holiday. The dress was designed by Hubert de Givenchy himself, who became Hepburn’s lifelong friend and collaborator. The dress perfectly complemented Hepburn’s petite frame and pixie cut, and set the tone for her timeless style.
– Marilyn Monroe in Jean Louis at the 1962 Happy Birthday Mr. President event. One of the most famous dresses ever worn, Marilyn Monroe’s sheer and sparkling dress by Jean Louis was so tight that she had to be sewn into it. The dress was covered with over 2,500 rhinestones and cost $12,000 at the time. Monroe wore it to sing “Happy Birthday” to President John F. Kennedy at Madison Square Garden, in what would be one of her last public appearances before her death.
– Cher in Bob Mackie at the 1986 Oscars. Cher has always been known for her bold and unconventional fashion choices, and this outfit by Bob Mackie was no exception. The singer and actress wore a black sequined crop top, a matching skirt with a feathered hem, and a huge feathered headdress that made her look like a glamorous showgirl. The outfit was a statement of defiance against the Academy, who had snubbed her for her performance in Mask.
– Jennifer Lopez in Versace at the 2000 Grammys. Jennifer Lopez turned heads and dropped jaws when she arrived at the 2000 Grammys in a green silk chiffon dress by Versace that barely covered her curves. The dress had a plunging neckline that went down to her navel and a high slit that showed off her legs. The dress was so popular that it inspired the creation of Google Images, as millions of people searched for photos of Lopez online.
– Bjork in Marjan Pejoski at the 2001 Oscars. Bjork has always been an eccentric and experimental artist, and her red carpet looks reflect that. The most memorable one was the swan dress by Marjan Pejoski that she wore to the 2001 Oscars, where she was nominated for Best Original Song for Dancer in the Dark. The dress featured a white bodysuit with a swan’s neck wrapped around her neck and a fluffy feathered skirt. Bjork even laid eggs on the red carpet as part of her performance art.
