The Academy Awards<\/a> is the final show in a long awards season, where stars celebrate the best in the film industry, while delivering the most glamorous, talked-about style moments on the red carpet. Ever since the Academy of Motion Picture Art and Sciences began awarding artistic achievements in cinema in 1929, guests has worn so many memorable couture creations, the designs have been ingrained into pop culture history.<\/p>\n

One can’t think of Cher at the Oscars<\/a> without picturing her Bob Mackie black cutout gown with spiked headpiece, or recall Halle Berry’s emotional speech when she accepted the Best Actress award for Monster\u2019s Ball <\/em>without remembering her sheer floral embroidered Elie Saab gown. Who could ever forget Lupita Nyong\u2019o\u2019s entrance at the 2014 Oscars (where she picked up Best Supporting Actress for 12 Years a Slave<\/em>) in her sky-blue Prada gown with flowy skirt that she twirled as she walked down the red carpet.<\/p>\n
