Los Angeles. This year, the event will return to the Dolby Theatre for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic. Last year’s even was filmed at Union Station, the main railway station in the Californian city.
While we’ve already been treated to star-studded red carpets at the Baftas and the Brit Awards, the 94th Academy Awards will see the Oscars return to its usual glitzy affair following two years of pandemic-related setbacks. Ahead of this weekend’s event, which will see stars including Zoë Kravitz and Daniel Kaluuya in attendance, we’ve rounded up some of the most groundbreaking Oscars looks of all time, from Billy Porter’s tuxedo dress to Björk’s famous ensemble. It’s an outfit that is practically impossible to forget: Cher in a jewel-encrusted bralette and matching low-rise skirt paired with a voluminous feather headpiece, designed by the singer’s long-time friend and designer, Bob Mackie.
But there was more to this showgirl-inspired ensemble than met the eye. In 2019, the “Believe” singer released a video for Vogue explaining that the look was supposed to be a rebuttal to the Academy for not taking her seriously as an actor. “I had the idea mostly because the Academy didn’t really like me,” Cher said.
“They hated the way I dressed and I had young boyfriends so they thought I wasn’t serious. So I came out and said, ‘As you can see, I got my handbook on how to dress like a serious actress. ’”Few people could pull off a backless suit.
Or, rather, a suit worn backwards. But Celine Dion did it astonishingly well in 1999, when she wore this optic-white Christian Dior suit to the Oscars. The loose-fitting suit hung off the singer’s shoulders, creating a deep-V backless look.
