As we prepare to feast our eyes on one of the highly anticipated red-carpet events of the year, we're looking back at some of the Oscars' most memorable looks.
The Academy Awards are one of the most highly anticipated events of the year, both for the ceremony itself and the iconic, celebrity-laden, red carpet.
The annual awards have always been a high-fashion extravaganza, dating back to the first ceremony in 1929.
The designs are haute couture, the stylists are the best in the business, and the stars have some of the most talented glam squads in the world.
As waves of celebrities dare to be different, each one trying to stand out among a sea of stars, certain trends will inevitably present themselves.
Bright pops of colour, thigh-splitting slits, dramatically plunging necklines, big bows, and sheer paneling are all expected - but who can do it best?
We can't wait to see what the Oscars bring to the table each year but, in the meantime, you can click through the gallery above to look back at some of the greatest dresses, suits, and jumpsuits so far.
