The coat dress that Faye Dunaway wore at the 1968 Oscars should be taught at fashion school. Actually, maybe they do teach it at fashion school, we wouldn’t know, we never went to one. That doesn’t change the fact that this look here is its own moment.
The petite-looking Dunaway is actually pretty tall but the way that this dress wraps around her makes her look like a little fragile doll. It was designed by Theadora Van Runkle and paired with matching loafers, a simple updo, and a purse that we would love to get a closer look at.
Amanda Seyfried
Amanda Seyfried does not need much to stand out. Genetics did most of the job for her. But when the actress wants to really make all eyes focus on her and nothing else she completes that assignment incredibly successfully. This was the case with this red number from the 2021 Academy Awards ceremony.
Seyfried showed up on the red carpet wearing a voluminous red tulle dress that made everything else pale in comparison. The design included a deep V neckline and a form-fitting silhouette and Seyfried paired it with a bold red lip and a sleek old Hollywood glamor updo.
Nicole Kidman
Nicole Kidman is someone who always sets the bar high with her looks. Here she looks nothing short of a queen at the 90th Academy Awards. Does it surprise you that she was on the best-dressed list? It doesn’t surprise us.
She looks incredible in her cobalt blue Armani Prive dress that was tailored to her body perfectly and going with a red lip was a perfect choice to tie everything together.
Diahann Carroll
Oh wow, we will probably need a second to catch our breath. It's just that watching Diahann Carroll in this dress completely took our breath away. This actress and singer took the stage to present the honorary award for achievement in choreography at the 1969 Oscars but it doesn't really matter which category she was presenting or who won.
Arriving at the event in this pearly pink number, they might as well just hand her all of those little golden figurines. The sparkly sheer overlay that extends all the way to those cape-like sleeves makes her look like an actual fairy about to perform some magic.
Kate Hudson
Kate Hudson shines in everything she wears. She wore this gold Versace dress fit for a princess that took 500 hours to make. She strutted it to the 2003 Oscars with a soft, wavy up-do.
She gets every aspect of a red carpet event right.
