OSCARS 2017

Oscars 2017: The Top 10 Best Dressed Actresses on the Red Carpet

by Lauren McCarthy and Caroline Grosso

Year after year, the Academy Awards create iconic fashion moments that often go down in style history. Between the couture gowns, the goes-back-at-midnight jewels, and the best hair and makeup money can buy, you are guaranteed a dynamic look on the red carpet. Tonight, Best Actress nominee Emma Stone embodied an Oscar statue in custom Givenchy—one of the house’s last designs by outgoing designer Riccardo Tisci—while Alicia Vikander embraced the past in black lace Louis Vuitton. Also in Vuitton: Best Supporting Actress nominee Michelle Williams, in a plunging contrast gown tied with a bow. Two actresses also took the opportunity to introduce two newly re-vamped American brands to the Oscars: Naomie Harris in Raf Simons for Calvin Klein, and Brie Larson in Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim for Oscar de la Renta.
