Lupita Nyong'o

Who could ever forget Lupita Nyong'o's riviting performance in "12 Years of Slave?" Critics probably still have tears in their eyes. Nyong'o showed up to the Oscars as a modern-day Cinderella in this light blue Versace dress.

Naomi Watts

A part of this dress was either cut out by the most stylish kindergartner or designed by Armani Privé. We'll let you decide who takes the credit.

Sandra Bullock

Forget gold, Sandra Bullock went for the silver, and it's perfect. Bullock looks just as shiny and elegant as the Oscar itself.

Kate Hudson

Versace strikes again. Kate Hudson is a blonde bombshell in this angel-like white dress. The shape of the dress has a shape that some might doubt would work but Versace knows best.

Audrey Hepburn

The queen of elegance and beauty needs to be on this list. Audrey Hepburn stuns in Givenchy. But, honestly, Hepburn could wear anything and still make it look like it came off the runway. 

She's such a darling. (@NiftyFifities/Tumblr)

Halle Berry

Halle Berry looks like she is going to a "Great Gatsby" party with this black and grey empire-like dress. Versace sure does likes his stripes.

Anne Hathaway

Mirror, mirror on the wall, Anne Hathaway is the fairest of them all. Hathaway is a Prada vision in a powder-pink dress, all tied together by a bow and little diamonds in the back.

Jennifer Lawrence

When asked to explain what she was wearing, Jennifer Lawrence responded with, "Like this is the top and this is the bottom." Isn't she just a doll with the best sense of humor? It's a Dior dress, by the way. 

Good fashion, humor and talent; J. Law has it all. (@nastyasy/Tumblr)

Penélope Cruz

Feathers, feathers and more feathers! Doesn't Penélope Cruz look muy bonita in a Versace dress? Versace created a dreamlike ballroom dress but with unexpected element. If you guessed feathers, that was it. 

Too much beauty in one dress. (@inquisitiveg/Tumblr)

Charlize Theron

Charlize Theron in a not-so-classic black hourglass dress designed by Dior. This dress grasps Theron's flawless curves. Now, why can't we all have a shape like that? 

This is not your classic black dress. (@Daily--Celebs/Tumblr)

Hilary Swank

It's quite a conservative dress from the front, but the same can't be said for the sexy revealing back. Guy Laroche revealed just enough skin but left a little room for the imagination. Hilary Swank looks absolutely classic.

Halle Berry

Elie Saab knows how to create the most elegant dresses with just the right amount of tease. This maroon beauty is mixed with a forbidden garden feel. Halle Berry stole the thunder that night and increased Saab's fame in Hollywood.

Zoe Saldana

There are no words to even attempt to describe the gorgeousness of this dress. The snug fit, flowers and black and grey lines all work together. Zoe Saldana does this mermaid trumpet dress justice.

Freida Pinto

Freida Pinto is efreshing with a splash of pink amongst a sea of black, navy and white. The golden touches at the edges of the dress give the dress a feeling of royalty. 

Oscar de la Renta would be proud. (@Iloveherdress/Tumblr)
