lucy girl maybe it was designed without straps and Grace asked for some so they put on these spaghetti ones? It appears structured as a strapless...is the only reason I'm throwing it out there, Gwyneth Paltrow's pink one isn't structured in the same way because it was designed to have spaghetti straps from the beginning..
Jennifer was gorgeous with red dress, but the wedding dress was spectacular
Keira Knightly wasn't well known before she wore that dress in 2006? She had already done at least 2 Pirates, Domino, Pride and Prejudice, King Arthur, Love Actually and Star Wars by 2006.. Lol where do these people get their lines from?!

Thank you! I thought the same. So many false "facts" in this video. Nicole Kidman had done no big movies till 1997 and was only Tom Cruises wife? She was in Days of Thunder, Batman Forever and even hosted Saturday Night Live in 1993. That is really bad research for a "serious" journalistic brand like TIME.
Tilda Swinton is just stunning!

+thebobby I don't understand how he could describe the dress as having chinoise "high points". That's UTTERLY RIDICULOUS. The WHOLE DRESS is chinoiserie, FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, FROM INSPIRATION TO COMPLETION. It's just irritating. It's like saying an apple has highlights of apple-like qualities.

thebobby Ah, okay =) I wasn't really addressing your comment with mine, at least not my criticism. He simply used the term in such an awkward, close but no cigar, way. And it was one faux pas, among a minefield, that were driving me batty. I only replied to your comment, because you brought up the fact that it was a chinoiserie inspired dress, which gave me launch pad, from which to air my grievance ;)
No one is better then Uma Thurman. I'm glad that they included her lavender dress.
Carolyn Bessette Kennedy wore classic slip dresses long before Gwyneth. ...Gwyneth emulated Carolyn....Carolyn was the hot topic of 1996 and she knew how to dress...Boy, she knew how to dress.....simple, yet elegant to the max......

Edith Head is an Icon, a Golden Fashion Expert. She's such so creative; everything looks stunning.
Grace Kelly has the perfect body for these dresses. Wow.
I come back to this video every few months. His passion always made such a huge impression on me - such a wonderful storyteller.
WOW - who would have THUNK that Grace wore the dress three times - wow. God forbird celebrities wear a 5000.00 dress more than once... lol
Great host! Makes it so incredibly interesting.
This was honestly an amazing video.
Love the narration... so calm n composed n interesting...
Well done Mr. R...thank you for the well produced compilation.
I disagree that the Grace Kelly aquamarine dress is the ultimate Oscar dress. Most people today wouldn't remember it. I do, because I am a lover of fashion. But most people wouldn't. I really disagree with the majority of Hal Rubenstein's opinions.

That Swan Dress, ikr ? That's history right there
I refuse to believe that Gwyneth made slip dresses popluar in the 90s. Surely Kate Moss wore tons of slips before that?
@mademoiselle3000
8 жыл бұрын
I remember that time and Gwyneth did cause a lot of commotion for that dress. The 90's was an over the top decade and that year was a turn for minimalism and she embodied that perfectly on the biggest night of fashion. And you are right I remember seeing Kate with a similar dress around that same time but it wasn't the Oscars and it wasn't with hottest male actor at that time.
“Edith’s head strapless gown”, he says about the dress by Edith Head which clearly has, not 2, but 4 straps.
What rubbish list is this? No Sharon Stone in that Gap Shirt + Dress, no Halle Berry's Elie Saab, Bjork's Swan dress and you talked about Jennifer Lawrence boring a$$ dress? Pls
lovely info and facts! Loved the video! :D
Uma Thurman in that Prada has got to be my all time favorite Oscar dress :0)
I love how he not just gave us a list of names but actually explained the history. Grace Kelly remains my favourite ☺️
the only dress i remember is bjork's Swan....
Great piece!
I love Cate Blanchet yellow gown, suits well with her skin. the cut is like a prom gown but to her, it looks like a royal robe.

Grace Kelly's dress was not strapless. and Kim Basinger did not win an Oscar in 1977.
cate blanchett is the picture of sophistication. i love her
Um Keira had already been nominated in 2005 for Pride and Prejudice and she had already begun the Pirates trilogy. She was definitely already known by 2006.
Grace Kelly, what a beautiful lady she was.
Why Hallie Berry Oscar gown was not on the list. Gown she won for "Monster's Ball". That gown, was unique and rare. And, it really fit her body, not only as a glove, but made a strong statement. On the image of beauty and body image of Black Women, and Her new image, of being eloquent and a sex symbol as an actress.
Please do a part two
Jennifer Laurence's dress was so simple but SO STUNNING! The hair, the makeup, the minimalistic jewellery, it all worked together so well
So many more iconic dresses!!!
She's beauty, She's Grace.
WHERE IS BJORK?????
Who is the narrator? I have seen so many videos like this but what stands out is his narration, his knowledge on fashion , the ease with which he is taking the video is appreciating worthy . And yes the collection is awesome too
Cher is a true original! Very few women can pull off any type of gown or bikini and pants like Cher. Her TV shows were a fashion show that delighted me as an artist. When l drew women they were always long and thin like Cher. Cher is an American Treasure. She even tried to help me, and l sorry l couldn't leave my hometown then . Thanks Cher for being you.
Julia Roberts' Vintage dress was the best 🙌🏼
Wow Keira knightly looked so amazing and she really suits blonde hair
that shade from the lady in the blue dress at 4:52 has me deaddd

If this video kept to how Oscar dresses have influenced fashion, it would be an interesting watch. Instead, the host makes it seem like these dresses influenced these actors' careers--which is false. Nicole Kidman was never "just the wife" of Tom Cruise, and Gwyneth Paltrow was never "just the girlfriend" of Brad Pitt. It's insulting to say otherwise.

He also tried to act like no one had really heard of Keira Knightley either...the 2006 Oscars comes after _Pirates of the Caribbean, Love Actually,_ *and* _Pride & Prejudice_ - so, so off-base. He keeps forcing this narrative of 'The dress made her a star!' even when it doesn't apply to exaggerate the influence of fashion on these women's careers.
No Bjork? How can you not mention the swan dress?
Glaring omission: Marisa Tomei's vintage Charles James gown in 2011. Gorgeous.
For the sake of precision, Keira Knightley's necklace is Ruby, Emeralds, Diamond, and Sapphires, (not Turquoise) it's a modern take on Tutti Frutti by Cartier. Cheers!
my fav one is the traditional chinese style dress wore by Nicole
My favorite Oscar gowns of all time was the powder blue Prada worn by Lupita in 2015 I believe it was. That dress wouldn't have looked half as good in anybody else, the color againt her skin was perfect, & she's got a very lean, athletic body type & the neckline really showed that off. And the simple headband & coral lip were the perfect finishing touches. Other fav, Kate Blanchett's gunmetal one shoulder Armani Prive gown, can't remember the exact year, 08 maybe?
Grace stole my heart
Grace Kelly's dress has straps!!
waaaaaw!!!! Keira was just lukin aaa-mazing!!!
thay are all beautiful...
Julia Roberts, she won the Oscar, Benjamin Bratt was on her side, and that Valentino gown were amazing ... And not just about the dress, but her look overall, the hair, the make up, her body shape ... timeless.
Nobody could ever wear it as well as Grace Kelly ...
What about Matt Stone and Trey Parker in 2000?
Jlaw looks fab❤️
I saw the pic of Angelina in the black gown known for memes and everything elese but it wasn't in the list.... Why? It's very famous that dress on her

Woww qwhite interesting
Keira Knightly wore that dress in 2006, NOT 1996 (when she would have been like 10 or 11). Also she was NOT an unknown at this time. Her breakout success with Bend It Like Beckham was 4 years prior to this and she had already done at least one Pirates of the Caribbean movie, and a bunch of other stuff. Kim Basinger's Oscar was NOT in 1977. She won for LA Confidential, in 1997. Cher's dress in question was worn in 1976 and has nothing to do with the year that she was in Mask (1985). I have noticed this guy KEEPS making mistakes... his dates are sometimes off by decades!
everyone comments about how the dress is boring etc. but personally i think its just right that these dresses made history. the dress doesnt need to be too extravagant. from what i see the dress is sometimes simple. fits the one who wears it well and distinct
I know Grace Kelly did not win the Oscar for To Catch a Thief, but the white strapless dress she wears with the diamond necklace is stunning. It looks like she is floating . EDITH HEAD Outdid herself.
