| Academy Awards, March 1958 Photo from Life.com |
It's a well known fact (at least for us who indulge in the entertainment world) that the Oscars are the crème de la crème of Awards season. I don't know about you, but my favorite part is not speculating who will get the Academy Award for best actress when a newcomer is up against a veteran, or what the latest host will do for ratings. My favorite part is the fashion, and when I say fashion, I only mean dresses. I really don't give a hoot about a tuxedo - because frankly they all look the same to me. So I've decided to take a nostalgic look back at Oscar fashions of the past, and I've selected my top five Oscar dresses pre-1960 (in no particular order). So without further ado, the Oscar goes to....
Grace Kelly, 1955, blue satin gown

Bette Davis, 1939, tulle gown with feather accent (it's nice to know that Björk wasn't the first to don dramatic feathers at the Oscars, see her dress here)

BONUS: A Fashion Don't by Olivia de Havilland in 1950
Looks like the predecessor to the dress recently worn by Michelle Williams at the Golden Globes this year, with a similar flower print and flower applique on the straps to boot.
