There’s cute and then there’s drop dead gorgeous.<\/p>\n

When it comes to celebrities sashaying along the Oscars red carpet, most play it safe with ensembles that are classic, regal and chic. And while that’s not a bad thing, every now and then one of Hollywood’s biggest stars will take things to another level.<\/p>\n

We’re talking gasp-worthy designs like Cher<\/a><\/strong>‘s iconique black outfit and larger-than-life mohawk headpiece in 1986, in which she won the Best Actress Oscar for her role in Moonstruck<\/em>. The unforgettable number, which consisted of a jewel-adorned bustier, a matching bedazzled skirt and glitzy shawl, was designed Bob Mackie<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“This was one of my favorite outfits,” the legendary star previously told<\/a> Vogue<\/em> about the lewk. “I had the idea mostly because the Academy didn’t really like me… They hated the way I dressed and I had young boyfriends so they thought I wasn’t serious.”<\/p>\n

She added, “So I came out and said, ‘As you can see, I got my handbook on how to dress like a serious actress.'”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Another OMG fashion moment? Anne Hathaway<\/a><\/strong>‘s blush-colored Prada dress. Dubbed the “nipple dress,” the feminine gown was all anyone could talk about. And of course, how could anyone forget the 2001 ceremony when Bj\u00f6rk<\/strong> stepped onto the carpet with her swan dress.<\/p>\n

OMG, indeed!<\/p>\n

With the 2020 Oscars<\/a> upon us, we can’t wait to see what our favorite celebrities slip into for the special occasion. Until then, take a look at our gallery below to see all of the swoon-worthy style to hit the red carpet.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
