- We gotta talk about some other looks that were
real game changers in fashion.
Melissa, you chose this 1997 Dior by John Galiano
dress on Nicole Kidman.
And that was, well, very different.
(group cheering)
- First of all, it was amazing.
Number two, she was the first one in years since the days
of like Edith Head and that who walked in in real couture.
And that just poof, the bar just went right up.
Because people aren't just having samples
and having them fitted to 'em.
Things are now being made for the actresses.
- For the first time.
- And it really shows us how dress
and a red carpet moment can make a career.
- Well, and it doesn't hurt to have Tom Cruise.
By the way, it also doesn't hurt to be well,
like your client's 200 feet tall and gorgeous.
And weigh nothing.
- It all comes together.
All right, Sharon Stone in 1998, Vera Wang, gap button up.
(group cheering)
- Again, which you've done,
this look has come back over and over and over.
But this look, she really said this is okay.
And this look has been recreated time
and time and time again.
You suddenly made it a very modern version of it.
- Your version of it with Zendaya,
I have to say is my favorite.
Not just because you're here, because I really believe that.
Okay, Christian, thank God you picked this Cher 1986.
(group cheering)
- I really just want everyone to go to the Oscars like this
at all times.
For the rest of my life, that's all I want to see.
- I want to go to the the mall like that.
Are you kidding me?
- I want to see headdress at the grocery store.
I want to see it all.
- [Drew] This is a moment.
- Anyone else would look ridiculous.
- And Bob told me Cher actually has everything,
she's ever worn.
- [Drew] Really?
- Yeah, she kept everything.
- I love that you can say, Bob told me.
That's so cool.
- That's an archive I'd love to hang out in.
All right, this I thought was so interesting
because Rena Moreno wore her dress
in 1962 where she won the Oscar for "West Side Story."
Then she was nominated again
for the same movie and then she did it again.
Wore the same dress, but in a different fashion
on the top, and I thought that's a real way to bookend.
- Love it.
- Oh, yeah, totally.
- A legendary moment.
- I love that, I think it's beautiful.
All right, some really go larger than life on Oscar Night,
we all remember those iconic looks.
Let's take a look at some of the instantly iconic outfits
to hit the red carpet.
I cannot stop thinking about Celine Dion creating
quite a stir in 1999.
(group cheering)
She's here.
She's manifested.
Everybody was talking about that the next day.
It was hated.
But it has become one of the looks
that we will never forget.
- It's been over 30 years
and we are still, we're talking about it right now.
- Exactly.
- Iconic.
- It was, how come no one has ever thought, except
for like the band Kriss Kross to wear their stuff backwards?
- I know, and how many gays did it take to convince her
to wear that?
You know what I mean?
A meeting where they all got together
and said, Celine, trust us.
You look fabulous.
- Again, unfortunately I wasn't able to be one
of those gays because I was too young.
- But the thing is also, in a lot of these looks
that we're gonna see, it's a complete look
and that makes a difference.
And you can only be someone who the dress isn't wearing.
They're wearing the dress.
And that's what we've seen now in Lizzo.
She's wearing the dress.
It's not wearing her.
- This one is also like Cinderella is going to the ball.
Gina Davis, 1992, designed by Ruth Myers and Bill Hargate.
Now Bill Hargate was also big costume designer.
- So, okay, you love it.
Give it to us now.
- Well listen, I love Gina Davis.
She's major.
She's still really like sassy in her age now.
And I love it.
It's actually so bad, it's so good.
for what I say real humans to wear.
- I would regret or be remiss as La said earlier
to not bring up my favorite, the Bjork's Fond.
I have to.
(audience applauding)
- And this look ruffled a lot of feathers.
(group laughing)
(upbeat music)
