Flared skirts have been taken to the next level. Both of these looks are examples of elegant femininity, and we honestly can’t decide which we would opt for if we had a chance to walk down the crimson carpet.

Playful pastels have long been a way to juxtapose the grownup elegance of red carpet fashion. Whether sleek or covered in tulle, these looks speak to the personalities of the wearers.

Who doesn’t want a princess moment? These two looks, while vastly different, speak to a similar vision. After all, what is more timeless than dresses fit for royalty.

There’s no denying that sexy silhouettes will always be a go-to on the carpets of awards season. These looks take it a step further, though. With added touches like feathers and a cape, these dresses are elevated to major statements.

You can’t let the clothes wear you, right? These iconic actresses embody this motto. Their looks have stayed at the front of people’s minds not necessarily because of the styles themselves, but because of the celebrities wearing them.
