Can't decide between a tuxedo or a gown? Billy Porter shows how it's possible to have the best of both worlds with this iconic ensemble that he donned at the Oscars in 2019. The sartorial piece was a custom Christian Siriano gown and it featured a traditional tuxedo jacket over a white shirt with ruffle detailing around the cuff and a full-length skirt.

Gemma Chan looks pretty in pink in this bold and voluminous Valentino gown while walking down the red carpet at the Oscars back in 2019. In fact, it has also been said that the parachute-like, voluminous gown managed to make one of the most dramatic entrances of the evening in that year!

We're always tempted to use the phrase "vision of perfection", and Mila Kunis might have been just that at the Oscars in 2011. In that year, the star wore a lavender chiffon gown with tiered lace detailing and groisgrain ribbon waist from the Elie Saab Haute Couture Spring 2011 Collection — and it's safe to say that the star was one of the main fashion highlight's of the year's awards show circuit.

If you're thinking of any celebrity that could pull off a show-stopping outfit that will have everyone looking twice, you can always count on Cher. Back in 1986, Cher showed up in a midriff-baring ensemble by Bob Mackie, topped with a towering feather headdress.

Besides winning the Oscar for Best Actress in Shakespeare In Love, Gwyneth Paltrow also made a name for herself in 1999 with a noteworthy look that we can't seem to get our minds off. And if you didn't already know, it was the baby pink spaghetti-strap, taffeta gown designed by Ralph Lauren that made the cut.
