Angelina Jolie
You may expect a look like this from Megan Fox or Blake Lively but not Angelina Jolie, right? In 2012 her high-slit Atelier Versace gown went viral. She paired this dress with Salvatore Ferragamo’s custom-made black velvet peep-toe pumps. We admire her courage and bravery to wear something like this!
Off the red carpet, Jolie has certainly been through a lot. From her breakdown in her marriage with Brad Pitt to her health problems that she seems to have overcome, Jolie really is a force of nature who seems to persevere through everything. Heck, she even became a superhero when she starred in the MCU movie “Eternals.”
Martha Plimpton
Oh boy, what a time capsule of an image this is. Coming in hot from 1989, this picture from the 61st Academy Awards features a few big names. At the Forefront we see Martha Plimpton wearing a cream-colored satin gown which beautifully accentuates her figure with a flowy, silky bottom and a Greek-inspired ruched top.
Plimpton is followed by the late great River Phoenix, and in the background, we see the "Top Gun" era Tom Cruise accompanied by his then-girlfriend and now ex-wife Mimi Rogers. Rogers is wearing the very era-appropriate polka dot gown. The whole thing just screams 80s and we can't believe it's been that long!
Cindy Crawford
Cindy Crawford is one of the most beautiful supermodels ever to live. Recently she has been seen promoting a skincare line and it doesn’t look like she’s aged one bit. You may be wondering what a supermodel like Cindy would wear to her first Academy Awards. Well, if you’re Cindy, you could wear a trash bag and still look like a million bucks.
In the end, Cindy opted for a bodycon Herve Leger dress to show off that amazing model figure. And Richard Gere looked very happy with what he was standing next to. Of course, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree — Crawford's daughter, Kaia Gerber, is also gracing many red carpets these days.
Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie is one heck of an actress who may be mostly known for her role in "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" with Brad Pitt. Who would’ve thought that a woman with such a pale skin tone could pull off a white satin dress like the one she’s wearing?
We weren’t sure it was possible until we saw her rocking it. When your father is also a Hollywood star and talented actor in Jon Voigt, it is clear that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Jolie took the world by storm when she starred as Lara Croft in the "Tomb Raider" franchise and she hasn't looked back since.
Tessa Thompson
Actress Tessa Thompson has made a name for herself with her involvement in projects like the HBO hit series "Westworld" and her portrayal of Valkyrie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, namely in the Thor-centered movies. When she showed up at the 2019 Academy Awards red carpet she wowed us all with her frilly black gown.
The number had multiple tiers divided by sequined golden straps and more voluminous layers around the hips and the calves. Giving her the hourglass shape, the dress was perfectly accessorized with golden jewelry, black strappy sandals, and bronzy glow makeup.
