Fashion critics questioned Celine Dion’s white backward tuxedo outfit designed by John Galliano that she wore to the 1999 Oscars. Celine told PEOPLE magazine back then that she didn’t regret the bold look. We aren’t too sure that this look will ever be a trend.
Truth be told, this was a much simpler time for the Canadian singer. She had sung the classic song “My Heart Will Go On” for “Titanic” just a few years prior, and Dion was one of the most recognizable names in all of pop music. Over the years, though, Dion has experienced loss in the passing of her husband and recent health issues.
Lupita Nyong'o
It is hard to say something that hasn't yet been said about Lupita Nyong'o. She's talented, she's intelligent, she's beautiful, and judging by this picture she obviously has great taste in fashion. For the 2022 Annual Academy Awards, Nyong'o chose to show up in a dress that made her look like one of the little figurines handed out to the winners.
The golden gown refracted light like no one's business, and the flashing cameras around definitely gave it some light to refract. Looking like an absolute jewel, the actress decided to wear her hair in dreadlocks set in a regal updo that tied the whole look together.
Cate Blanchett
While actress Cate Blanchett has definitely provided us with some great red-carpet moments, this one must be the best of them. Or at the top five at the very least. At the 2011 Oscars, Blanchett wowed anyone who looked with this ornamental powdery pink gown.
Designed by Givenchy, the floor-length dress has an empire waistline and textured applique that goes from the waistline down the hips and up the sides of the body, eventually culminating in a frame around the chest. Blanchett looked like the decorated frame of a vanity mirror found at some fancy palace in the best way possible.
Whoopi Goldberg
Whoopi Goldberg is known for being a very versatile actress who kills every role she plays. While she may be very funny, we weren’t sure if this outfit was meant to be a joke. This very bright pantsuit and bold lime-green-and-purple overcoat at the 1993 Oscars was a big no for us.
Over the years, Goldberg has had a pretty diverse career, having first made splashes in the world of acting with roles in movies such as "The Color Purple" and "Sister Act." These days though, you are more like to see her hosting the talk panel on the show "The View."
Jessica Alba
Actress Jessica Alba is one of those Hollywood celebrities who don't seem to age. This picture is the perfect evidence. It was taken in 2006. Let that sink in. We will leave the math of how many years it has been since then to you. To Alba, it seems like no time has passed at all.
This form-fitting gown that she wore to the 87th Academy Awards ceremony will probably still fit her today. Alba chose to rightfully show off her physical assets in a halter-style champagne-colored Versace dress that complemented her wonderfully toned. It was adorned with a sheer lace overlay that hugged her curves and created a moment that people still write about even years later.
