00:00Welcome to Miss Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the best outfits worn on
00:11the red carpet that are both super memorable and impressively stunning.
00:14Oh, this moment, this fantasy, what, how, dreaming, how did this happen, it's so beautiful!
00:21Number 10, Tracee Ellis Ross, 74th Golden Globe Awards
00:25It's my first time here, guys, it's a nice room, I like it.
00:30She's been a noticeable fashionista on the red carpet for years,
00:33and her Golden Globe looks have really turned some heads.
00:36At the 2017 awards, she donned a stunning and sparkly strapless
00:39tea-length Zuhair Murad dress with a beautiful collection of rings.
00:43I was like, wait, they said my name right? They said my name right? This is so cool!
00:49It's a glamorous, structural look that made her look like an award herself,
00:52which was fitting considering this Golden Globes was her first nomination and her first win.
00:57Not to mention that this was the first time a Black woman had won this award in over 30 years,
01:01and she truly looked like a winner that night.
01:04Holy moly, when you say it that way, I don't think I quite had processed that until you said it.
01:09Well, it means a lot! Goodness,
01:12I think my shoulders got a little heavier and I got a little taller all at the same time.
01:16Number 9, Lily Collins, 74th Golden Globe Awards
01:19How many gowns did you try on before you got to this one?
01:23Zero. I walked in the door in beeline straight for this one,
01:26tried it on, tried like seven or eight more and went, nope, sorry, first choice.
01:30Zuhair Murad was a big hit at the Golden Globes in 2017,
01:34and Lily Collins' Murad dress was truly show-stopping. She somehow managed to look
01:38both regal and modern with a lavish pink gown, complete with floral details,
01:42a sleek updo, and a bold red lip.
01:44Do you like all this stuff? Do you like getting dressed up and doing this?
01:47I do. I find this so fun. I love fashion. I find that this is a huge honor to be here,
01:53and if you don't have fun with it, you're kind of missing out, right?
01:57In a sea of glamorous looks, she really stood out and cemented herself as a trendsetter.
02:01While she didn't win the award for her role in Rules Don't Apply at the ceremony,
02:05we're certain that Emily in Paris would have been very proud of this look.
02:08Meryl Streep knows my name now, so that to me is already enough.
02:12You can go home now.
02:13Mic drop. I'm done. That's enough.
02:168. Angelina Jolie
02:1884th Annual Academy Awards
02:20We can't talk about fashion icons without talking about Angelina Jolie.
02:24What an entrance! I mean, come in here to the show-shmell. It'll start when it starts, right?
02:27I know. I know. We didn't plan it that way, but it just happens sometimes.
02:32She strutted the carpet in countless bold and beautiful outfits throughout her career,
02:36with most of her infamous looks being designed by Versace, like this one.
02:40She presented the award for Best Adapted Screenplay at the Oscars in 2012,
02:44but all anyone could pay attention to was that velvet dress with that neckline and that slit.
02:49I mean, I'm pretty sure that leg trended for years and years.
02:52So funny. So funny.
02:54The dress was bold but also timeless,
02:56and we wouldn't be surprised to see it on a red carpet today.
02:58It's a perfect look for her aesthetic, and it speaks volumes
03:01that we're still talking about it over a decade later.
03:04Yeah, it's comfortable.
03:07And you wear it well.
03:087. Gemma Chan
03:0991st Annual Academy Awards
03:12Although Gemma Chan is relatively new to the world of red carpet fashion,
03:15she came in swinging and left our jaws on the floor several times with her looks.
03:19How does it feel being here at the Oscars tonight?
03:21Oh, gosh. It's quite surreal. It's my first time here. I'm really excited.
03:27While her dresses are normally uninhibited, futuristic, and stunning,
03:30this one sticks out to us as its most memorable feature is the color.
03:34Not everyone could pull off this vibrant pink, but she wears it like it's made for her.
03:37The opposite of form-fitting,
03:39this parachute look somehow still gives her great shape and flatters her exquisitely.
03:43And I love the pockets.
03:44I know. Dressed as a bucket, eh?
03:47This was the look she wore to the Oscars after her appearance in Crazy Rich Asians,
03:51which featured lavish fashion, making this Valentino dress even more perfect for this occasion.
03:57You know, I thought I caught the maids trying to shove a pair of Jimmy Choo's behind a dryer.
04:046. Diane Carroll
04:0541st Annual Academy Awards
04:07Not all iconic red carpet dresses are from this millennium, and without trend-setting
04:11red carpet looks like this one, the fashion we know and love might look a lot different.
04:16That's right. And don't you never forget it.
04:19At the Oscars in 1969, Diane Carroll stunned the audience with this mystical pink gown,
04:24complete with flowy sleeves and shiny details throughout.
04:27It's simple and elegant while being ahead of its time and so iconic that red carpet
04:32dresses today could emulate it and we wouldn't bat an eye.
04:35It's giving Glinda from The Wizard of Oz in the best way possible, and we're definitely here for it.
04:40No, I know we're not in Kansas.
04:435. Lupito Nyong'o
04:4586th Annual Academy Awards
04:47I remember talking to my stylist, Michaela.
04:50She asked me how I wanted to feel on the night, and I just said,
04:53I want to feel like I'm floating because that was just how I felt at that time.
04:58Throughout her career, Nyong'o has been in some amazing looks, some over-the-top,
05:03bright and daring, while others are understated and classic.
05:05It doesn't seem to matter, though, because she looks gorgeous in every look, no matter what.
05:09When she accepted her award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in 12 Years a Slave,
05:13her dress was jaw-dropping.
05:15So this is a custom-made Prada gown, and it was inspired by champagne bubbles because we
05:20wanted to celebrate this wonderful occasion. And also blue reminds me of my hometown, Nairobi.
05:26The stunning creation featured a plunging neckline and a flowing skirt.
05:30She paired it with simple accessories, putting all the attention on her and the dress.
05:34The look is reminiscent of one Cinderella,
05:36and we just hope this dress doesn't disappear at midnight.
05:39I don't have to be anybody else, and that myself is good enough.
05:43And that when I am being true to that self, then I can do,
05:47I can avail myself to extraordinary things such as this.
05:514. Lady Gaga
05:522019 Met Gala
05:56We've seen Lady Gaga in some incredible outfits over the years,
06:04but she proved that she's the queen of camp at the Met Gala in 2019,
06:07when she appeared in not one, not two, not even three, but a whopping four looks.
06:12Remember that three-course meal we got served earlier? Yeah, it's a dessert! It's so tasty!
06:16Her first is a bold pink dress with an overstated bow as a hair accessory,
06:19with her second being a black ball gown with an asymmetrical neckline.
06:23Next, she appeared in a silky skin-tight pink dress,
06:25before finally showing off sparkly undergarments with some seriously next-level boots.
06:30All of these looks were layered one on top of the other,
06:33and honestly, we've never seen anything more Lady Gaga in our lives.
06:453. Zendaya
06:462024 Met Gala
06:48Another Met Gala icon, Zendaya appeared in two stunning looks on the red carpet in 2024.
06:53So you are co-chairing the Met Gala this year?
06:59Zendaya, what does that mean?
07:01You know, I don't really know. I've never co-chaired before.
07:05Following the year's theme of Sleeping Beauty and the Garden of Time, her first look was haunting.
07:10She donned an iridescent dress with dark blue and green features,
07:13fruit-like embellishments, and a bold birdcage.
07:15For her second look, she reappeared on the red carpet to walk it again in a dramatic black gown,
07:20with a colorful bouquet as a striking hair accessory.
07:23Sometimes doing this for a living feels a little weird and awkward,
07:27and I'm more of a shy, introverted person,
07:29so I get to create these characters and, like, I'm this woman today.
07:33She never fails to impress critics and fans alike at the Met Gala,
07:36so we weren't surprised that she nailed this.
07:38She started with a nightmarish look and ended looking like a dream,
07:42truly encompassing the theme and her personal style.
07:45I love the creativity.
07:48Do you know what I mean?
07:48I love a strong reference. We love that.
07:52Number 2. Rihanna, 2015 Met Gala
07:55Met Gala's coming up, and you are literally the queen of the ball.
07:58And I'm not just saying that because you're standing here.
07:59It's Rihanna, and she literally steals the show at Met Gala.
08:02It's hard to keep track of all the amazing looks that we've seen over the years at the Met Gala,
08:05but Rihanna's looks never fail to leave us stunned.
08:08In 2015, the theme China, through the Looking Glass,
08:11gave way to Rihanna wearing this stunning Gua-Pei look.
08:14Sporting a yellow coat with a train that you need to see to believe,
08:17it's the details in this look that make it unforgettable.
08:20This is extraordinary. And look at the sleeves. And the whole thing is so indulgently…
08:23It's so well-designed.
08:24It's so luxurious. It's like the Chinese women in there.
08:26It's handmade by one Chinese woman.
08:30It took two years to make this.
08:32The embroidery, the fur, the necklace, the hair accessory.
08:36Chef's kiss. 10 out of 10.
08:38We have no notes for Queen Riri.
08:40Drink the moment. Drink it.
08:42Thank you so much.
08:43You are so inspiring to so many people. You're going to inspire people in this dress.

09:36This is without a doubt my favorite look of all time.
09:40When it comes to the Met Gala, Blake Lively doesn't miss.
09:42In 2018, celebrities and fashion designers alike were given a bit of a daunting theme
09:47in heavenly bodies, fashion, and the Catholic imagination,
09:50but Lively's look knocked it out of the park.
09:52I just love this look so much.
09:54I just thought it was just so striking.
09:57It's something that when my kids are like, you know, giving me attitude,
10:00I'm like, this is your mom, like, come on.
10:04With an angelic headpiece, Lively wore a red Versace dress,
10:07complete with gold embroidery, a bodice filled with jewels, and a tremendously lavish train.
10:12She's one that we look forward to seeing walk the red carpet each and every year,
10:16and this look was definitely a standout that won't be soon forgotten.
10:19Did we mention it took 600 hours to create?
