3. Angelina Jolie's Leg-Baring Moment at the 2012 Academy Awards

Sometimes, it's not the whole outfit that gets attention. For Angelina Jolie, it was her right leg. She wore a black dress with a high slit at the 2012 Oscars. She posed with her leg sticking out.

This pose became so famous that someone made a Twitter account for her leg. It shows that how you wear something is just as important as what you wear.

6. Cher's 1986 Oscar Outfit

Cher always wears wild outfits. But her 1986 Oscar outfit was really special. She wore a big feather headpiece and a sparkly bottom piece. There wasn't much else to the outfit.

The Met Gala is a place for big fashion statements. Rihanna wore a huge yellow cape in 2015. It was so big that people had to help her walk.

Imagine wearing money! Lizzy Gardiner did that at the 1995 Oscars. She wore a dress made of American Express Gold cards.

She first made this dress for a movie. But it cost too much to use in the film. The dress was clever advertising and also said something about Hollywood and money.

9. Celine Dion's Backward Tuxedo at the 1999 Academy Awards

10. Gwyneth Paltrow's Pink Ralph Lauren Gown at the 1999 Academy Awards

Sometimes simple is best. Gwyneth Paltrow wore a plain pink dress to the 1999 Oscars. It was made by Ralph Lauren.
