Actress Winona Ryder is not new to the game of gothics. In fact, she’s probably the poster girl for that game if there ever was one. This picture from 1997 is the ultimate proof that even after her time as Lydia in “Beetlejuice” Ryder could still rock the goth style like no one’s business.
So, to that year’s Oscar ceremony she showed up wearing a Carl Lagerfeld gown that was just perfect for her — the tinsel, the sheer black lace, the layers, the creamy lining — it was a seamless merge of goth and glam with influences from both Victorian times and the Roaring Twenties.
Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga always gets away with pushing the boundaries, of course, this time, she chose to do no differently at the Academy Awards. She reached out to her designer friend Brandon Maxwell to design an outfit for her to wear to the awards.
He made five custom dresses for the event and this white jumpsuit was the one that she picked. It has a very classy and timeless feel to it.
Rita Moreno
Rita Moreno was the first Latina actress to win an Academy Award. In addition, she also had been nominated for 6 Emmy nominations and a Tony. In 1962 she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for the role she played in West Side Story. To the event, she wore a very classic black and gold strapless gown.
Over fifty years later, Rita wore the same exact look to the event. Wearing the same outfit twice is not something you see every day, and that is truly amazing.
Charlize Theron
This South African beauty always looks absolutely radiant on the red carpet. Her bronzed skin and beautiful blonde hair complemented this golden metallic Gucci gown wonderfully.
We love that she paired the dress with 1920s waves. We are eager to see what she wears in the future.
Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie is undeniably beautiful and is one incredible actress. At the beginning of Angelia’s career, she was known to give off this bad-girl vibe and her attire mirrored that. When she attended the Oscars in 2000, she was arm-in-arm with her brother.
While the two were walking down the carpet they exchanged a kiss that would make you think the pair were together if you didn’t know they were brother and sister. Although we are all for a solid relationship between brother and sister, we can’t help but think that exchange was a little too odd.
