"What a sweet dress, and how very Hepburn. I love the graphicness of the hair with the cat-eye, and the lack of jewelry. It can so easily ruin a look."

Grace Kelly

In Edith Head at the Oscars, 1955

“This is probably the all-time gold standard of red carpet [fashion]. It's by the legendary costume designer Edith Head. In the heyday of Hollywood, the studio's costume designer would also design the star's wardrobe for the press tour. Only Grace Kelly could get away with this pale blue without it looking [like a] bridesmaid."

“She wears dresses so elegantly. This was the dress that launched Nicole as the couture beauty."

Sharon Stone

In Vera Wang and Gap at the Oscars, 1998

"I personally don't like white shirts very much, but this was such an iconic look. It was so unexpected and daring at the time that it has to have a place in the hall of fame."

Cate Blanchett

In John Galliano at the Oscars, 1999

"The true test of a dress is its timelessness. For one to stay a favorite for so long, it must be truly special. This Galliano is breathtaking, and the very simple hair and makeup make the look."

Scarlett Johansson

In vintage at the Venice International Film Festival, 2006

"This dress is just poetry on her. Nude can be a tricky color to wear, but the butterfly in the hair, the strong eyebrow, and the red lip make it an elegant knockout."

Nicole Kidman

In Balenciaga at the Oscars, 2007

"A red dress is always a striking hit, and this tie at the neck is just heaven. She's like an elegant present."
