| Kate Hudson shows us some serious star power in 2003 as she glows in this handmade gold chiffon Versace gown that took over 500 hours to make. |
 |
| Charlize Theron has that certain "it factor" that's all there is to it, but it doesn't hurt that she is stunningly gorgeous and can pull off just about anything. Wearing a backless plunging white Gucci gown in 2004 (left) to accept her Oscar for Best Actress for her role in Monster she looks sensual and sweet while in 2013 she stepped out in a bright white structural gown complete with a freshly cropped pixie cut. |
 |
| Hilary Swank took home the Oscar for Best Actress for her performance in Million Dollar Baby in 2005 while wearing this navy, conservative-from-the-front-and-ooo-la-la-from-the-back Guy Laroche dress. |
 |
| We can't get enough of intricate details and extravagant skirts which is why we love this Versace gown worn by Penelope Cruz in 2007. |
 |
| Nicole Kidman is famous for her ability to strike a pose and she doesn't disappoint in this dramatic, red Balenciaga gown with a bow at the neck. |
 |
| Mila Kunis may not have won the 2011 Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in Black Swan but she certainly had our approval in this low cut Elie Saab gown with sheer paneling. |
 |
| Jennifer Lawrence has proved to be not only a formidable and talented actress but also capable of some serious fashion moments. Donning this fluted, baby pink Christian Dior gown in 2013 (left) when she picked up the Oscar for Best Actress for her work in Silver Linings Playbook, Jennifer shows her sweet yet sophisticated side while in 2011 she opted for a more girl-next-door look in a simple but sexy red Calvin Klein dress (right) when she was nominated for Best Actress for her role in Winters Bone. |
 |
| Kristen Stewart has, uh, questionable, acting talent but she's young and has potential. Her ability to choose gowns, however, far supersedes her performance in Twilight; this black, ruched Monique Lhullier gown worn in 2010 is truly stunning. |
