Audrey Hepburn, 1954
Audrey Hepburn won the Best Actress Oscar for Roman Holiday wearing a very detailed, floral-embossed cream Givenchy gown in 1954.
We love that she paired her cinched, classic dress with a super short hairstyle and minimal makeup.

Grace Kelly, 1955
A vision of beauty in a mint green Edith Head statuesque gown, Grace Kelly won an Academy Award in 1955 for Country Girl.
Props to her for taking a risk with such an unexpected color.

Elizabeth Taylor, 1961
Looking ever so demure, Elizabeth Taylor held her statue in 1961, in which she received for her role in Butterfield 8. Wearing a solid chartreuse sleeveless-turned-white floral gown with a red flower accent, her look was perfectly accented with white gloves, a red lip, and her signature bouffant.

Uma Thurman, 1995
Simple doesn't have to be boring. Case in point, the light lavender Prada gown that Uma wore the year she was nominated for Pulp Fiction. Styled by Barbara Tfank, Uma wore this look gracefully, pairing it with a red lip.
Another fun fact: Prada became a household name overnight when the actress donned this dress.

Julia Roberts, 2001
At the 2001 Oscar awards, Julia Roberts looked like a winner in her vintage Valentino black and white detailed gown from 1982—especially since she was holding the statue she won for her role in Erin Brockovich.

Halle Berry, 2002
Halle's look for the 2002 Oscars was head-turning to say the least. She went with a sheer and satin Elie Saab burgundy gown that was complete with strategically placed floral embroidery.
Two things this look requires: A banging body and a serious dose of confidence, which we're guessing sky-rocketed when she won the Best Actress Oscar for her performance in Monsters Ball.

Kate Winslet, 2002
Designer Ben de Lisi put himself on the fashion map when he created a scarlet masterpiece for Kate, which she donned at the 2002 Oscars.
We love that she let her bold red gown steal the show, pairing it with minimal makeup and an updo.

Jennifer Lopez, 2003
Remember the days of Bennifer? Aside from having Ben Affleck on her arm, Jennifer Lopez wore this one-shoulder, asymmetric mint green Valentino number to the 2003 Oscars.
The gorgeous gown, which caught a lot of attention, was said to be inspired by a design that Valentino had created for Jackie Onassis in 1967.

Kate Hudson, 2003
Kate donned this gorgeous blush-colored, deep V-neckline Versace gown that reportedly took 500 hours to make to the 2003 Oscar awards.
We're obsessed with its subtle yet show-stopping shade, the drop earrings she paired with it, and her old Hollywood-looking updo.

Charlize Theron, 2004
You can't not make the best-dressed list flaunting a floor-length, backless Gucci gown, glowing skin, and an old Hollywood glamour hairstyle.
And her night only got better once she stepped foot into the 2004 Oscar awards, where she won the Best Actress Oscar for her portrayal of a serial killer in Monster.

Angelina Jolie, 2004
Oh Angelina, you can do no red-carpet wrong. Looking like a silver-screen siren, she donned a white silk-satin Marc Bouwer halter gown to the 2004 Oscars. Swoon.

Beyoncé, 2005
With Jay-Z by her side, B walked the red carpet looking super glamorous in a black velvet Versace strapless “Siren” gown, chandelier earrings, a half-up, half-down hairstyle, and makeup that was done to perfection.
The look, in our eyes, was to-die-for.

Hillary Swank, 2005
Hillary started the 2005 Oscars out on the right foot when she showed up at the red carpet wearing the well-known conservative in the front, daring low-cut in the back, gorgeously draped navy Guy Laroche gown.
She then continued to have a good night when she later won a statue for Best Actress in Million Dollar Baby.

Michelle Williams, 2006
We LOVED Michelle's golden-yellow Vera Wang gown, complete with mini pleats, frills, and intricate detailing that she wore to the 2006 Oscars. Even better, we couldn't get over her bold red lips that she paired with the choice—and how dapper her then-boyfriend Heath Ledger looked.

Wowzer. We're super jealous of the fabulous figure that Jessica Alba flaunted in a gold and white lace halter Versace gown at the 2006 award show.

Reese Witherspoon, 2006
Back in the day when Reese was with Ryan Phillippe, she donned a 1955 vintage Christian Dior gown with blush ribbon detailing to the 2006 Oscars. And what a brilliant choice it was, since a ton of onlookers got to see it when she stepped on stage to accept the Best Actress award for Walk the Line.

Even though she didn't score a statue for Volver at the Oscars in 2007, she won best-freaking-dressed in her strapless blush bandage-meets-feathered Atelier Versace dress.

Amy Adams, 2008
Amy's look at the 2008 Oscars was beyond beautiful. But we were particularly obsessed with the color pairing of Amy's fiery-red hair color, her porcelain skin, and her deep emerald-colored, Proenza Schouler strapless mermaid gown that she wore to the 2008 Academy Awards.

The ivory mermaid dress that Marion Cotillard wore at the 2008 Oscars is as unforgettable as her award-winning performance in La Vie en Rose. The French actress killed it in this red-carpet look paired with a deep sweep hairstyle.

Anne always looks ridiculously gorgeous on the red carpet, but we were stunned when she walked it in a curve-hugging, sparkling jewel encrusted Giorgio Armani Privé gown at the 2009 Oscars.

Now that's a red-carpet stunner! Zoe Saldana didn't hold back when it came to her sartorial choice at the 2010 Oscars. The Avatar star went for a daring Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci, complete with ombré ruffles toward the bottom. Bravo!

Sandra Bullock, 2010
Sandra was #winning all night long at the 2010 Oscar awards. First, for stepping out wearing a silvery-gold beaded Marchesa gown, and then for being awarded Best Actress for her role in The Blind Side.
Another award we'd give her: Best Lipstick Shade Paired With a Gown.

She wasn't up for an Oscar, but donning a strapless, tulle bejeweled Oscar de la Renta gown definitely gave bystanders somthing to talk about. Well done, Cameron.

Jennifer Lawrence, 2011
Jennifer Lawrence went for comfort over haute couture, wearing a low-cut, stunning scarlett Calvin Klein Collection dress to the Oscars in 2011.
We love that she also wore a relaxed all-down hairstyle, which complemented her very Jessica Rabbit-esque curve-hugging gown perfectly.
