Top Ten Dresses of the Oscars

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at St. Andrews chapter.

‘Tis the season of the awards shows and the Oscar Weekend is finally upon us. If you’re like me, you do not really watch the show itself but rather just stalk celebs through mediums like People Magazine, gazing at all the beautiful dresses and accessories. So many pretty dresses <3 In honor of my tradition, I thought I'd put together a list of my top ten Oscar outfits worn by actresses. 

 

1. Kate Winslet in Yves Saint Laurent, 2009

I have adored her since her days as Rose Dawson, but I don’t understand how she literally looks the same as she did back then. Stunning as per usual.

2. Lupita Nyong’o in Prada, 2014

She literally looks like a queen. Bow down, peasants.

3. Audrey Hepburn in Givenchy, 1954

Hepburn is truly one of America’s most stunning actresses and she proves it in this gorgeous white dress. And she also won for Best Actress for her role in “Roman Holiday”!

4. Angelina Jolie in Versace, 2012

I adore everything about this – the slit, the pouty red lips, the smolder… Sexy as anything.

5. Sandra Bullock in Alexander McQueen, 2014

America’s Sweetheart for a reason, Bullock just stuns in this soft navy blue gown.

6. Viola Davis in Escada, 2014

Everything about this is stunning. Davis is slaying like the queen she is, and that color just adds to her royalty. Also, those arms <3 <3

7. Hilary Swank in Guy Laroche, 2005

I adore this dress – I’m also a sucker for a backless gown. Swank just makes this look so elegant and poised. [Source]

 

8. Penelope Cruz in Giambattista Valli, 2014

A lot of people didn’t like this dress but I adore it. The soft pastel pink just makes Cruz glow and I love the one shoulder. Makes me thing of princesses and gentle elegance.

9. Glenn Close in Zac Posen, 2012

She is absolutely stunning in this blazer/gown combo and I adore this color. Also, I’m getting major hair envy. [Source]

 

10. Mila Kunis in Elie Saab, 2011

A literal fairy princess. I adore the color, the softness, the grace, her makeup, her…
