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 a very era-appropriate polka-dot gown. The whole thing just screams 80s and we can’t believe it’s been that long!
Regina King
Regina King channeled her inner Elsa at the 2021 Academy Awards ceremony. She walked down the red carpet wearing the Beautiful floor length gown that was silvery light blue and truly made her pop. The metallic fabric and the rhinestones set along the design gave the dress and its wearer somewhat of a halo.
We especially loved the sleeves, or rather shoulder pieces in that case. They majestically framed King's neckline and beautiful face making her look like an arctic butterfly. It is a look fit for a queen indeed. Better yet — it's a look fit for King.
Uma Thurman
Uma Thurman brought business glam to the 2022 annual Academy Awards ceremony. Rather than opting for something that would make her pop like a bird of paradise, which is pretty common at such events, she decided to stick to office fashion. Though to be honest, no woman we know could wear that to just a regular day at the office.
Maybe if the top was paired with a nice pair of slacks. Thurman decided that this was a work event and therefore required work-appropriate attire. This black and white ensemble is sleek and chic and the pockets in the skirt are to die for.
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 who 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
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."
