Oscar Fashion Moments

The Oscars are finally back and happening this Sunday April 25th 2021!

 Due to the pandemic, we were unable to enjoy a lot of award shows and red carpet fashions for over a year. However, we are looking forward to the Oscars this weekend!

Do you know that idea of Academy Awards came up by Louis B. Mayer, the Head of MGM Studios, and was founded to unite the five branches of the film industry including actors, directors, producers, technicians and writers. The show was first televised in the United States in 1953, and since 1969 they have been broadcast internationally.

Red-carpet interviews became an important part of the event featuring the glamourous fashion that we know and appreciate.

Here are some of our favorite Oscar fashions from the past below:

Marilyn Monroe wore this gorgeous black tulle gown designed by for the 1951 Oscars. Although she was never nominated, all eyes were on her at the ceremony. 

Audrey Hepburn wore this elegant off white dress designed by Hubert De Givenchy when she won the Academy Award for Best Actress in “The Princess” in 1954.

Elizabeth Taylor wore this classic Dior dress for the 1961 Academy Awards where she won for “A Venus in Mink”. With the enhanced waistline and classic silhouette she looked absolutely gorgeous.

Barbra Streisand wore this daring pant suit designed by Arnold Scaasi when she accepted her award for her role in the film “Rare Girl” in 1961.

She wore the trouser suit instead of the traditional dress attire and was shocked to see how transparent it was after being photographed in public. 

Lauren Hutton wore a mutlicolor sheer pleated dress by Halston for the 1975 Academy Awards.
