Of all the events in Hollywood, the Academy Awards is home to some of the most over-the-top and flamboyant looks of all time. It’s basically the mother of all award shows, and each year our favorite celebs hit the red carpet in jaw-dropping couture that leaves us absolutely floored. Sunday, March 27, marks the 94th Oscars ceremony, and while this year’s award show season looked differently due to the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions, we’ve seen that doesn’t stop our favorite A-listers from serving some serious looks. With a rich history of shocking looks from Lady Gaga’s red gloves to Björk’s swan dress, the Oscars are pretty much a guarantee for a memorable set of looks.
Following suit with a few of this year’s awards shows, the Academy Awards will actually have a physical red carpet, which means we’re expecting the ceremony to send off this awards season with a total bang. After a long time lounging around the house in sweatpants, you better believe celebdom will be coming in hot, and if past shows have taught us anything, it’s that we’re in for a memorable night. We’re taking a look back at some of the most outrageous red carpet looks through the years — the good, the bad, and the huh? — and there are fashion highs and lows we’ll never forget, from Angelina Jolie’s high-slit Versace gown to Cher’s, well, everything.
See all the looks that drew stares below, some that raised the bar for fashion, and others we still just don’t get.
