While Fashion Month [1] isn't officially over yet, the Oscars red carpet is the perfect place to reminisce. After all, so many of the stars wore dresses straight off the runway [2] or experimented with new trends we've only just begun to consider.
There's no better place for bold style or a powerful political statement [3] than the final ceremony of the year, and as you scroll, you'll find all the proof you need: 2017's Academy Awards will be remembered for the icons who made waves all season long.
From Ruth Negga to Naomie Harris, there were plenty of fresh faces [4] we welcomed to the scene, but actresses like Nicole Kidman [5] and Meryl Streep [6] reshaped their wardrobes right before our eyes. Put all these gorgeous, talented women together, and they make for a pretty notable crowd, don't you think?
