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.
Faye Dunaway
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.
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.
Kim Basinger
Did you know that Kim Basinger designed this Cinderella look-alike dress? She wore it to the 62nd Academy Awards. While there, she won the Best Support Actress award for the role she played in "L.A Confidential."
This debutante-like dress is definitely a little weird.
Penelope Cruz
This stunning Spanish actress made jaws drop at the 79th Academy Awards. She went with a very original red carpet look in a strapless blush-colored Atelier Versace gown. She wore her hair back tightly and paired it with some simple jewelry.
And you can’t forget about the train of feathers that just hit it out of the park.
