Every year, when the lights shine on the Oscar red carpet, the world not only awaits the announcement of the prestigious golden statuettes, but also follows one of the most powerful "stages" in the fashion world.

The Oscars have long transcended the boundaries of a film awards ceremony to become a global aesthetic statement, where haute couture, high-end jewelry, and the image strategies of celebrities intersect at every step.

Oscar fashion : Elegant, sophisticated, and sexy.

Unlike the Grammy Awards, the MTV Video Music Awards, or even the Golden Globes, this is not the time or place for shocks or excessive antics.

In fact, as director Sofia Coppola lamented in 2018, the Oscar red carpet is sometimes too conventional, too safe, and unfortunately a little boring.

However, amidst the familiar mermaid-style designs and retro-inspired evening gowns, there are occasionally bold women who dare to truly shine on the Oscar red carpet.

For example, Nicole Kidman in 1997 – radiant in John Galliano's chartreuse blue for Dior. Or Marion Cotillard, who redefined the mermaid dress with a Gaultier haute couture design that looked like real fish scales.

Who knows which iconic dresses will grace the upcoming Oscar red carpet and join this legendary list? While we wait for the 98th Academy Awards on March 15th, let's look back at 10 of the most beautiful fashion moments in the history of the Academy Awards, as chosen by W Magazine .

Demi Moore was nominated for Best Actress at the 2025 Oscars. She walked the red carpet in a custom-designed Giorgio Armani Privé gown, covered in shimmering silver sequins. The actress completed her look with matching Chopard earrings and bracelet, and her naturally flowing, soft waves created an overall look that was both elegant and powerful. - Photo: WireImage

Emma Stone marked the return of the peplum dress design at the 2024 Oscars. When she took the stage to accept the Best Actress award, she humorously reacted to the incident where the zipper on her Louis Vuitton dress came undone. Despite the unexpected mishap, she handled the situation professionally. - Photo: Variety
