Another fashion icon who had one of her most memorable fashion moments at an Academy Awards, was Elizabeth Taylor. This one was truly iconic, matching her vibrant eyeshadow perfectly with the violet dress! Her tan, hair, makeup, dress- everything was just on point! The 69 carat diamond necklace, a gift from her husband Richard Burton, was a subtle finishing touch. = gift from husband Richard Burton. The shape fo the dress was was stereotypical of your classic 80s film star- synching in at the waist and showing off some cleavage! You know what they say, if you’ve got it, flaunt it!

It was another Edith Head creation that did well at auction, going for a staggering $167, 500 in 1999- it remains unclear what the original cost was, but we’re almost sure it didn’t touch the auction price!
This gunmetal Armani Privé gown rocked by Blanchett at the 2007 Oscars came head to toe embellished with Swarovski crystals! If there’s a night to dazzle, it’s this one! Imagine when the flashes hit those diamonds- ooooosh. Of course, being drowned in diamonds didn’t come cheap- $200,000 not cheap in fact!
Cate Blanchett- $200,000
