00:00Jennifer this is the first time in five or six years that I'm sure that nobody is looking at me
00:07Welcome to Ms. Mojo and today
00:09We're counting down our picks for the most stylish and striking celebrity outfits to grace the red carpet since the year
00:152000 Wow in this blue
00:18Well, okay
00:19Tell me about this dress number 30 Lady Gaga the 75th Venice International Film Festival
00:24If this list were most memorable then we would of course be talking about the infamous meat dress
00:30However, Lady Gaga is equally capable of bringing old-school glamour
00:34Walking the red carpet for her first film world premiere as a leading lady the pop sensation dazzled in a Valentino couture gown
00:41The dress had already made a splash on the July runway donned by model Kaya Gerber
00:46Gaga made at Hollywood rocking an elegant updo and sparkling jewelry
00:50Floating through the rain in her pink feathers the a star is born actress was indeed the star of the evening
00:56Number 29 Rihanna the CFDA Fashion Awards
01:00When you step up to accept a fashion icon award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America
01:06You had better do it in style in
01:092014 Rihanna showed us she was deserving of the accolade when she showed up in a jaw-dropping dress by Adam Selman
01:15The Barbadian singer tapped into that old starlet charm
01:19Accessorizing with a sparkling headscarf long gloves and a light pink fur shawl
01:23But she didn't play it safe either the see-through fabric be decked with Swarovski crystals didn't leave much to the imagination
01:30The icon explained to Vogue that she quote just liked it better without lines underneath
01:36Number 28 Cardi B the 65th annual Grammy Awards
01:40All fashion is art, but as outlets like Harper's Bazaar pointed out Cardi B's
01:452023 Grammys look is fit to hang in a gallery
01:48The rapper looked just like a fashion sketch striking a dramatic figure in a gorgeous blue gown by God of Gupta
01:54The red carpet is usually less daring than the runway
01:58But Cardi B never does things by halves the dress is sweeping structure and bold color give the effect of swirling waves
02:04Wrapping themselves around the star other details include a long silky train and slit of sorts at the waist
02:11Smoky blue lined eyes and diamonds perfectly complete the outfit
02:15Number 27 Keira Knightley the 78th Academy Awards in
02:212006 Keira Knightley was riding a career high when she graced the Oscars red carpet as a first-time nominee
02:26She might have missed out on her award, but she did earn herself a place on the best-dressed lists
02:32Deservedly so her gown for the evening was custom Vera Wang in wine-colored taffeta with one shoulder and a fishtail skirt
02:39It was peak 2000s fashion while also remaining elegant
02:42The Pride and Prejudice star elevated the look with statement jewels from Bulgari
02:47Knightley's ensemble was notably included by Cosmopolitan in a ranking of best Oscar dresses ever. We can certainly see why
02:55Number 26 Ariana Grande the 62nd annual Grammy Awards at the 2020 Grammys
03:02Ariana Grande changed up her ensemble four separate times
03:05But her first outfit was the real showstopper
03:08With a billowing tiered bottom and matching elbow-length gloves her Giambattista Valley gown was giving runway couture meets royalty
03:15The dove gray color and Grande's signature ponytail kept the look fresh and elegant while diamond earrings added sparkle
03:22The singer followed the first gown with a similarly colored satin crop top and full skirt later changing into two new outfits for her stage
03:30Performances her original red carpet gown was the dress of the night and it really made a statement
03:36Number 25 Margot Robbie the Barbie press tour
03:40We love it when an actor themes their press tour outfits when promoting
03:452023's Barbie Margot Robbie and stylist Andrew Muckamal definitely understood the assignment
03:51Embracing her character's trademark color and sense of style Robbie stepped out in a series of designer looks
03:56We simply cannot pick just one from smart casual to red carpet glam
04:01She rocked both custom-made and vintage pieces from Versace, Vivienne Westwood, Moschino, Chanel and more
04:07Many of her ensembles were based on specific Barbie dolls
04:11Including 1992's totally hair Barbie and 2015's cherry pie picnic Barbie for shoes
04:18Manolo Blahnik was the go-to choice
04:20He designed a custom range for the tour featuring classic styles usually in a range of different pinks
04:27Number 24 Zendaya the Dune part 2 premiere
04:31Zendaya and her stylist also love a good theme and the Dune part 2 press tour gave us some incredible fits
04:37Our favorite has to be the Stéphane Rolland couture gown the actress wore to the New York City premiere
04:42The cutouts the gold details popping against the white everything about it is stunning across the pond in London
04:49She also showed off her versatility with two very different Mugler ensembles
04:54Her daring metal bodysuit was sourced from the designers Cirque d'Hiver collection from 1995
04:59The outfit channeled the Dune aesthetic and made it clear that Zendaya was the star of the show later that evening
05:06She switched it up with a floor-length black gown
05:09Replacing her futuristic look with something classic and elegant
05:13Number 23 Billy Porter the 91st Academy Awards
05:17Men very rarely make the Oscars best-dressed lists and let's be honest
05:22There are only so many ways you can style a tux
05:25However in 2019 Billy Porter broke the mold bringing the drama in a black velvet ball gown by Christian Siriano
05:33Blurring the lines between traditionally masculine and feminine styles Porter challenged social norms and started a conversation
05:40Embracing his inner diva was empowering for the actor who previously starred in kinky boots on Broadway
05:46If the tuxedo style gown wasn't exciting enough Porter went even further with platform boots and a 20-carat yellow diamond ring
05:54Number 22 Aishwarya Rai the 70th annual Cannes Film Festival
05:59Everyone loves a fairy tale ball gown and indeed
06:03Publications like Elle pointed out that there appeared to be an unofficial Cinderella theme at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival
06:09We loved Kirsten Dunst's look and Blake Lively's the year before but star Aishwarya Rai made the biggest impression
06:16Her dress was a light blue Michael Sincoe creation with a structured bodice
06:20Intricate sparkling embroidery and a wide princess skirt underlaid with tulle
06:24The gown was fabulous enough to stand on its own without much embellishment and Rai kept accessories to a minimum
06:31She wore no statement jewelry and her hair was simply styled letting that dress do all the talking
06:37Number 21 Blake Lively the 70th Met Gala
06:41When it comes to the Met Gala Blake Lively has built a reputation as one to watch thanks to some fantastic gowns over the years
06:48Her 2022 dress paying homage to the oxidation process of the Statue of Liberty will forever be iconic
06:55However, we want to focus on her outfit from 2018
06:58The theme that year was heavenly bodies fashion and the Catholic imagination and she really rose to the challenge
07:05Lively's dress was a lavish affair pairing a bejeweled top with a sumptuous red velvet skirt embroidered with gold
07:12She completed the regal ensemble with a sparkling crown
07:16reminiscent of a halo in a classical painting
07:18Number 20 Zendaya the 69th Met Gala
07:22Every year the Met Institute's costume gala has a theme that guests dress to with varying degrees of success in
07:302017 the theme was Comme des Garcons
07:32But up-and-coming starlet Zendaya decided to walk to the beat of her own drum and go full-out glam
07:37Rejecting the aesthetic that would be expected of her
07:39Her gown was by Dolce & Gabbana and featured a lush print that included florals and parrots
07:45The ball gown made her stand out from the crowd and perhaps even more awe-inspiring was her natural hairstyle whose volume matched that of her dress
07:53Number 19 Julia Roberts the 73rd Academy Awards
07:58The dress that Julia Roberts wore when she attended the 73rd Academy Awards became instantly iconic
08:03Perhaps because she took home the award for best actress for her role in Erin Brockovich
08:07But maybe because of its own merits the Valentino gown was simple and understated
08:12Mostly constructed from black material with a distinctive white piping as the adornment a dress like this may not have made waves today
08:19But back in 2001 it was all anyone could talk about
08:23But as always it was Roberts megawatt smile that really made her look shine
08:28Number 18 Anne Hathaway the 81st Academy Awards
08:33Sometimes when you're headed to the Oscars, it's best to dress like one of the statues yourself
08:37This was clearly the philosophy that Anne Hathaway followed when she chose her gown for the 2009 Academy Awards
08:43opting for a shimmering Armani Privé dress that was at once glamorous in an old Hollywood way and
08:49Also felt fresh and modern the beading was done on the bias to create an interesting patterned effect and
08:54The equally glitzy belts just added to the overall silhouette
08:58Hathaway kept her hair and makeup simple and classic to let the dress be the focus
09:02Number 17 Angela Bassett the 91st Academy Awards
09:08Considering the fact that the carpets at so many big award shows are notoriously red many stars avoid colors that may clash with what's underfoot
09:15skipping hues in the pink or orange family
09:18But Angela Bassett dared to wear fuchsia at the 2019 Academy Awards and the risk paid off
09:25Her dress was a custom-made ream aqua gown that wasn't only bold in its shade
09:29It also featured a massive structural shoulder piece that gave it an exciting element of asymmetry
09:35Her jewel shaped clutch reflected the color and added to the look
09:39Number 16 Emma Stone the 74th Golden Globe Awards
09:44In early 2017 Emma Stone stunned on just about every red carpet
09:49Imaginable as she was nominated across the board for her performance in La La Land at the Golden Globes that year
09:55She wore a star spangled gown by Valentino in a rosy champagne hue
09:59The star embellishments were silver and varied in size
10:02Ranging from tiny ones on the straps of the dress to larger ones on the skirt
10:06Her loose and romantic locks made this a picture-perfect image
10:10Of course, she also took home the award for best actress in a motion picture musical or comedy, which certainly did not hurt
10:17Number 15 Beyonce the 67th Met Gala
10:21When your outfit is epic enough, no one cares if it fits the Met Gala theme. In 2015
10:27That theme was China through the looking-glass
10:29But people were so distracted by Beyonce's jaw-dropping look that it barely mattered
10:34The dress if you can even call it that was designed by Givenchy and was almost entirely transparent
10:40Save for some key sections that used rhinestones to carefully ensure the star did not appear to be totally nude
10:46It definitely didn't leave much to the imagination though and had us bowing down to our forever Queen B
10:53Number 14 Claire Danes the 68th Met Gala
10:57The 2016 Met Gala theme was Manus X Machina fashion in an age of technology and
11:03Nobody in attendance embodied it better than Claire Danes
11:06She collaborated with Zac Posen to create a gown that was truly unlike anything we'd seen before on the red carpet
11:12It may have looked like your run-of-the-mill princess gown
11:14But once the actress got inside it was revealed to be something truly futuristic
11:19That's because Posen designed the gown using fiber optics that enabled it to light up and glow in the dark
11:25Number 13 Nicole Kidman the 90th Academy Awards
11:29By 2018 Nicole Kidman had been a frequent award show attendee for many years
11:34But even as an industry veteran she was only getting better when it came to her red carpet fashion case in point at the 90th
11:41Academy Awards
11:42She chose an Armani Privé gown that landed her on pretty much every best-dressed list out there
11:47The gown featured a deep sweetheart neckline and used a bright yet deep blue fabric
11:53But the most notable part was definitely the oversized sculptural bow at the hips which made the dress into something entirely novel
12:00Number 12 Michelle Williams the 78th Academy Awards
12:05It's not always easy for blondes to pull off yellow for fear of clashing
12:09But Michelle Williams proved that breaking the rules can lead to great things with her 2006 Oscars dress
12:14The gown was by Vera Wang who certainly knows how to create a romantic look and the shade was a bright canary
12:22Williams used expert color theory and added a red lip which made the color of the dress pop even more
12:27The silhouette of the garment with its interesting ruching and modest train made it seem like a vintage piece
12:33Though the color kept it squarely in the present
12:36Number 11 Gwyneth Paltrow the 84th Academy Awards
12:40Capes have been in style for a number of years now
12:43But Gwyneth Paltrow was a fashion crusader when she sported one at the Oscars in 2012
12:47Her gown was a pure white Tom Ford column dress with an asymmetrical neckline and on its own
12:54Certainly wouldn't have been memorable years later
12:56But what really took the look to the next level was Paltrow's matching cape that she wore on top of the dress
13:01Since the outfit was relatively simple and streamlined. We're not surprised that she opted for an oversized cuff to offset it
13:08Number 10 Halle Berry the 74th Academy Awards
13:12in
13:132002 Halle Berry made Academy Awards history when she became the first
13:17African-american woman to take home the award for Best Actress and
13:20For her big moment in the spotlight
13:22She wore a dress that was almost just as groundbreaking
13:25Elie Saab designed the ensemble which employed a mesh construction with carefully placed floral embroidery to cover the bust
13:32The skirt had a unique bias cut waistline and was made with a shimmering crimson material all in all
13:37These features came together to create one of the most memorable Oscars looks of all time
13:42Number 9 Priyanka Chopra the 70th Met Gala in
13:472018 the Met Gala had one of the most intriguing themes yet
13:51Heavenly bodies fashion and the Catholic imagination all the stars had a different take on how to interpret this concept
13:58But Priyanka Chopra took a unique approach in a burgundy crushed velvet dress what set this look apart though
14:04Wasn't the Ralph Lauren dress itself, but the intricately beaded hood that went with it
14:08The piece is adorned with Swarovski crystals and took over 250 hours to construct by hand
14:14This definitely looks just as detailed as some of the decorations in Catholic churches
14:19Number 8 Jennifer Lawrence the 83rd Academy Awards
14:23Back in 2011 Jennifer Lawrence was a relative newcomer to the award season circuit though
14:29She has become a staple in more recent years for her first time on the Oscars red carpet the actress fittingly wore red herself
14:36She was nominated for her role in Winter's Bone and while she may not have won
14:40She did wow the fashion industry with her simple yet flawless Calvin Klein dress with her bouncy blonde hair
14:46She looked every part the Hollywood starlet, and it was this dress that cemented her as a style mainstay
14:53Number 7 Blake Lively the 69th annual Cannes Film Festival
14:58Many stars seem to retreat from public appearances during their pregnancies or opt to wear billowing styles that conceal their growing baby bumps
15:05But at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival Blake Lively proudly paraded her bump around in a form-fitting
15:11Atelier Versace gown for the premiere of the BFG
15:14The dress featured a one shoulder design and a unique cutout at the shoulder which made for a visually interesting
15:20Neckline the fabric was a sky blue and was covered with beading and a matching hue that added a subtle pattern and shimmer
15:27Number 6 Angelina Jolie the 84th Academy Awards
15:32Was Angelina Jolie the first high-profile actress to wear a dress with a thigh high slit to the Oscars of course not so why did
15:40This 2012 outfit get so much buzz for all intents and purposes
15:44Her gown wasn't much more than a standard LBD with a strapless asymmetrical neckline and a cinched waist
15:50Sure the slit was higher than most
15:52But what made the entire internet lose it over this look was the way Jolie posed while wearing it
15:57She stuck her leg out at an odd angle
16:00Emphasizing the slit and launching a thousand memes in the process
16:04Number 5 Rihanna the 67th Met Gala
16:08After appearing at the 2015 Met Gala Rihanna likely ended up on just as many best-dressed as worst-dressed lists
16:14But you cannot deny that her look was the most talked about and most memorable of the night
16:19Her ensemble was designed by Guo Pei and Rihanna was one of the only stars who opted to sport designs by a Chinese artist
16:26To support the night's theme of China through the looking-glass
16:29While most celebs work with stylists to pick out their gowns for them
16:32Riri actually found this dress online while researching Chinese couture
16:36The bright yellow hue and epic fur trimmed train made this look one for the books
16:41Number 4 Kate Blanchett the 86th Academy Awards
16:46Kate Blanchett was nominated for Best Actress at the 2014 Oscars for her role in Blue Jasmine and
16:52Succeeded in taking home the award not only that but she also stunned on the red carpet in a pretty and feminine gown that proves
16:59That sometimes even the biggest fashion risk-takers just want to look like a princess for a night
17:04The Armani privé gown featured beaded applique and a mesh construction that let the adornments go all the way up to the neckline
17:11Blanchett paired the garment with what was reportedly millions of dollars worth of jewels giving her an all-over shimmer
17:18Number 3 Lady Gaga the 76th Golden Globe Awards
17:22Up until around 2018
17:24We had largely grown accustomed to seeing Lady Gaga and wild outfits at music award shows that have much more lenient dress codes
17:31But after she starred in A Star is Born
17:33She was one of the most high-profile attendees at the Oscars and Golden Globes
17:37Her Golden Globes dress was a major Cinderella moment as she wore a ball gown with puffed off-the-shoulder sleeves
17:43To make sure things weren't too cookie-cutter the muted periwinkle shade of the dress was also reflected in Gaga's hair
17:50Number 2 Jennifer Lopez the 42nd annual Grammy Awards
17:55Worn right at the beginning of the 21st century
17:57We will never forget this JLo look even though she wore it two decades ago when she attended the Grammy Awards in
18:042000 Lopez wore a green silk chiffon Versace dress featuring a tropical print
18:09The bust of the gown was almost entirely open as was the skirt leaving very little to the imagination
18:15This look was certainly racy and noteworthy at the time
18:18Even spawning the creation of Google images because so many people were conducting online searches looking for photos of it in
18:242019 Lopez walked the Versace runway and wore an updated version of the dress still managing to look just as alluring 20 years later

18:59Also landed herself on many people's radars for her fashion choices at the time
19:04She was still an up-and-coming actress and she opted for something simple yet elegant for her big night
19:08The Prada gown was a pale blue hue that called to mind fairy tale princesses and had a dreamy quality to it
19:15The soft pleats and somewhat Grecian style were classic and yet somehow the overall effect felt like nothing we had seen before
