In a red carpet event, you can expect to see the biggest stars of the time flaunting their things. It makes sense for everybody to put on their best outfits for the cameras and the crowd. To see these over-the-top looks that did not fail to turn heads, read on! With their amazing ensembles, we dare you not to be blown away.
Irina Shayk
To any risky outfits, the red carpet is no stranger at all. Despite this, we daresay that Irina Shayk has taken things to an entirely new level with this outfit. This was what she was wearing for the Vanity Fair Oscar party. If anyone is in a position to pull this off, it’s this stunner.

Jenna Dewan Tatum
In her wine-colored dress and gold heels, The Step Up actress captivated all of us. Quite a lot of skin was revealed by the high split, strapless bodice, and low neckline. Although it was suggestive, at the same time, it did not fail to be sophisticated. Needless to say, in this Pamella Roland ensemble, the actress-singer looked fantastic. Her fellow actress and close friend, Emmanuelle Chriqui, who is best known for playing Sloan in Entourage, accompanied her to the event.

Ashley Graham
Ashley Graham is a plus-size model who has made waves in the fashion industry with her good looks and voluptuous figure. When she showed up in this lovely number at the 2016 GQ Men of the Year Awards, this brunette beauty had all eyes on her. So much character could be added to the outfit by the low neckline and the high slit. As you can see, to be perfect, she made it look easy!

Sofia Vergara
Sofia Vergara is easily one of our generation’s biggest stars. This beauty from Colombia is very stylish, and she doesn’t miss the chance to show it off on the red carpet. She impressed us all when she wore this Zuhair Murad dress at the NBC Golden Globes After Party 2014. This brought her amazing figure to attention. On her feet, she had a pair of Brian Atwood shoes. Take a look at her dazzling smile as she makes her way down the red carpet.

Miranda Kerr
In 2016, at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, Miranda Kerr looked so gorgeous! She looked unreal in this red gown by Kaufman Franco. By flaunting her tight stomach, the supermodel showed us that she deserves her supermodel title! For her feet, she slipped on a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes. As for her accessories, she brought a Swarovski Atelier clutch with her. That was a great after-party look, even if she wasn’t at the Oscars.
Miranda Kerr
Amber Rose
Another celebrity who does not care what you might think of her is model Amber Rose. She has a penchant for ignoring current fashion trends and putting on outfits that display her best assets and make her feel great. During 2017’s MTV Movie Awards, she left us all speechless with a red two-piece. That daring number flaunted her curves! By wearing hoops, she brought it down a bit.
Amber Rose
Chrissy Teigen
Everyone on Twitter following Chrissy Teigen knows she likes to overshare. Yet we think her fashion faux pas at the 2016 American Music Awards was a bit much. John Legend’s wife had no qualms about wearing a dress with a high slit that showed off her toned legs. She tried her best to walk carefully, but it was just too difficult to avoid showing more than she intended.
Chrissy Teigen
Gigi Hadid
It is hard to find a model more famous than Gigi Hadid nowadays. Over the years, the young woman has worked with plenty of designers. We are not surprised that she perfectly looks perfect on the runway and the red carpet. She put on a white number by Tom Ford during the AmfAR Gala in 2015. It came with a high split and a revealing neckline. By slipping on this incredible outfit, she showed us her worth. It’s no surprise to hear the press were all over her!
Gigi Hadid
Lady Gaga
Was there a celebrity who knows how to attract attention better than Lady Gaga can on the red carpet? Well, we can’t think of anyone else. After all, you never know what she is planning on wearing next! In 2015, she wore a Brandon Maxwell gown during the Grammys, which had a deep neckline and a high split. She paired this with beaded sandals that added some color and sparkle to the entire getup, as well as Lorraine Schwartz jewels. Mother Monster, we love you!
Lady Gaga
Kendall Jenner
Kendall Jenner has always been comfortable baring some skin on either the runway or the red carpet. The model was one of the most stylish individuals in attendance during the 2017 Met Gala. Some folks may say, however, that she was more undressed than anything else. Not only did her gorgeous La Perla dress fit every single inch of her body, but it also showed off her tight stomach and long legs. She topped it off with loose waves and a red lip.
Kendall Jenner
Emily Ratajkowski
It has to be Emily Ratajkowski if there is someone out there who looks good in whatever she wears. She’s not scared to bare her skin. She showed up at Cannes in this Peter Dundas lace gown in 2017. We love that revealing cut on her bodice. It was perfectly made, and her incredible figure was flaunted.
Emily Ratajkowski
Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez seems to have no problems with the red carpet looking like a million bucks. In 2017, during the Billboard Latin Music Awards, the Latina actress-musician rocked two risqué dresses. She had this Julian MacDonald dress on the red carpet. All the curves on her body have been accentuated. It looked amazing on her face, and we doubt that this is something most stars can pull off. It takes a certain kind of person, after all, to look this sophisticated while baring some skin!
Jennifer Lopez
Nicki Minaj
Wherever Nicki goes, she’d never been a stranger to wearing tight and daring outfits. However, when she did this during the Met Gala in 2016, she made the right call. In a single outfit, Jeremy Scott’s ensemble did an excellent job of combining couture and risqué. On top of that, the musician’s private style and penchant for shocking others were also suited. We believe there is no place better suited than the Met Gala for a getup like this one!
Nicki Minaj
Penelope Cruz
The Spanish actress Penelope Cruz is more than capable of bringing glamour to the red carpet. When she wore this figure-hugging Marchesa dress at Cannes in 2011, all eyes were on her. She had Johnny Depp, her colleague, on her arm, further ensuring that the cameras would flash from all directions. She has starred in several films that have been critically acclaimed, such as Nine, for which she has been nominated for an Academy Award.
Penelope Cruz
Ciara
Ciara slipped into this Alexandre Vauthier Haute Couture silk slip dress for the Grammys in 2016. It came with detailed beading, making the number even more glamorous. We’re sure not everyone can pull that daring slit off either! Ciara put jewelry from Norman Silverman Diamonds on and gathered her hair into a loose updo that ensured everyone could concentrate their attention on her dress. Without a doubt, this showed her incredible figure to great effect.
Ciara
Stella Maxwell
In this stunning gown, Victoria’s Secret model Stella Maxwell was not quite angelic, ensuring that everyone would do a double-take when she passed by. When she went to the Vanity Fair Oscars Party, this plunging gown had a daring high slit that only highlighted her physique. When she showed up on the red carpet, the lovely supermodel stunned everyone even though she had to be careful to void a wardrobe malfunction. She decided to part the middle of her golden hair, which adds class to it.
Stella Maxwell
Bella Hadid
Since Bella Hadid started modeling in 2012, she has made a name for her style. She has turned from the baby sister of Gigi to a great model in her own right over the past few years. It feels like she can pull anything and everything off! Mere mortals like us can only dream that they have the same ability. If you weren’t convinced, we were telling the truth, just take a look at this dress she wore at the Cannes Film Festival 2016!
Bella Hadid
Billy Porter
At the 2019 Academy Awards, the Pose actor turned heads in a tuxedo gown, and he said that people were right that he was searching for attention in the attire since becoming noticed helps him stay in business. “People were like, ‘Oh, he’s just trying to get attention.’ Well, yeah, I’m in show business! It’s part of my job. Otherwise, I don’t eat,” Porter told InStyle magazine.
Billy Porter
Lily James
Lily James’ first appearance at the Academy Awards was a show-stopper. She looked stunning in a lace Atelier Versace gown. The gown was form-fitting, with a sensual high slit and flowing train from the designer’s fall/winter 2021 couture line. A diamond necklace, stud earrings, and pink platform heels completed her ensemble. The Pam and Tommy actress graced the red carpet with elegance and composure, looking like a typical Hollywood bombshell.
Lily James
Megan Thee Stallion
Megan Thee Stallion’s surprise performance and red carpet debut at the Academy Awards were flawless. The artist swings from sultry skin-baring bodysuits to sophisticated pantsuits to couture confections with ease, proving herself to be the ultimate style chameleon. And tonight’s style will be remembered for a long time. Megan’s form-fitting, strapless gown by Gaurav Gupta, which had a show-stopping sculptural train and side cutout, found the perfect balance between elegant, erotic, and seductive. Her matching periwinkle Stuart Weitzman sandals and gleaming Lorraine Schwartz gems gave her the look of a true Hollywood movie star.
Megan Thee Stallion
Beyoncé
In 2015, on the Met Gala red carpet, Beyoncé appeared a little late. Despite this, she could catch everyone’s eyes. She slew in this Givenchy number that did not leave much to the imagination. We can’t deny that she looks nothing short of a queen here! We can totally see why she was late to the event. With this dress, there was no room for error. She probably had to make sure that all the gems were in place for this outfit. On top of that, it was Queen Bey, so we’re sure no one was bothered!
Beyoncé
Eva Longoria
Eva Longoria was breathtaking when she appeared at the Cannes Film Festival. In this gown by Alberta Ferretti, the talented star was lovely. The Desperate Housewives actress walked in for the opening screening of The Dead Don’t Die, a horror movie. We particularly love the way the dusty pink number illuminated her bronze skin. The high split, meanwhile, showed us all that she still got it. After all, her legs and figure were in tip-top shape.
Eva Longoria
Irina Shayk
Irina Shayk was worthy of holding two spots on our list. Originally from Russia, because she wanted to pursue modeling more seriously, she moved to New York in 2007. With her dazzling good looks, we are not shocked by how much success she has achieved in the industry. During the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, she looked great in a yellow gown by Versace. We can’t believe that this was taken just two months after giving birth to the actor Bradley Cooper’s daughter!
Irina Shayk
Nicole Kidman
There is no argument that one of the gorgeous Hollywood actresses out there is Nicole Kidman. When she arrived at the Cannes Film Festival in 2014, she turned many heads. After all, in this strapless gown by Armani Prive, she was breathtaking. The gem work on this dress was nothing short of exquisite, so she didn’t have to wear jewelry at all.
Nicole Kidman
Angelina Jolie
You need to try hard to look bad on the red carpet if you look like Angelina Jolie. At any rate, when she showed up at the Cannes Film Festival in 2009 in this Atelier Versace number, she looked great. This beauty of a brunette is easily one of the most popular actresses out there. Her talents have also been recognized, with three Golden Globes, two SAG awards, and an Academy Award.
Angelina Jolie
Lupita Nyong’o
Lupita has taken the entertainment industry by storm and has not stopped yet! When she starred in an award-winning period film called 12 Years A Slave, she got her big break. Her performance even won her a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award. She is yet another individual to look out for on the red carpet when it comes to style. No exception to this rule was the 2015 Cannes Film Festival! Her skin tone made the Gucci number emerald pop out. From head to toe, she looked stunning.
Lupita Nyong’o
Freida Pinto
Freida Pinto is an Indian actress who, after starring in the film Slumdog Millionaire, made waves in the industry. We were always impressed by her as she stepped on the red carpet. When you see this soft and feminine look that she served us during the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, you will understand why. She looked fabulous in Michael Kors’ blush dress. For all the feathers and the plunging neckline, her red lip is the perfect accessory.
Freida Pinto
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
Another model who dressed to kill during the 2016 red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival is here. The British bombshell was stunned in a flowy red dress by Alexandre Vauthier Couture. Rosie Huntington-Whitely topped it off with diamond bracelets and earrings. She has worked on many fashion campaigns and has also started acting since then. Well, we’re sure you remember her from the Transformers movies, as well as Mad Max: Fury Road.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
Mindy Kaling
When she appeared on the Cannes Film Festival’s red carpet in 2015, funny woman Mindy Kaling opted for a color-blocking outfit. Her outfit was designed by Salvador Perez, who, with a custom gown, went all out. With the thigh-high split and the skirt train, we love how the simplified top went well! Just so you know, on the dress, there are 3,000 hand-sewn crystals.
Mindy Kaling
Naomi Watts
Naomi Watts, an actress, radiates poise, elegance, and glamour. Typically, she’s part of the best-dressed list, so we’re not surprised to see how amazing she looked at the Cannes Film Festival in 2012. She was wearing a nude dress with a Marchesa fishtail. In the old Hollywood style, she put her hair up and wore a diamond necklace and earrings to dress.
Naomi Watts
Lea Seydoux
Lea Seydoux is a French actress who has so far enjoyed an excellent career. Before moving on to Hollywood projects, she first starred in French films. Her style has always been eye-catching, but during the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, one of our favorite looks had to be her outfit. In a plunging Prada gown that she paired with emerald and diamond earrings, she looked gorgeous.
Lea Seydoux
Paz Vega
When Paz Vega showed up at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, she stole the show. This gorgeous brunette wore the number of Roberto Cavalli, covered in beads. Everyone had to admire her toned legs, thanks to the sheer skirt. There were no problems with the Spanish actress transitioning from working on Spanish projects to American movies.
Paz Vega
Elizabeth Banks
Is there something that can’t be done by Elizabeth Banks? We doubt that! It looked like she was channeling Effie Trinket, her character in The Hunger Games, during the 2010 Cannes Film Festival. With its long train and a great array of colors, the gown by Georges Chakra Couture could speak for itself. The star then topped it off with a black clutch and simple jewelry.
Elizabeth Banks
Uma Thurman
Yellow is not a color that can be worn by anyone. It was a good thing that Uma Thurman was a sight to behold in color. In the Atelier Versace number that she wore for the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, she was striking. The low neckline lent a sultry effect to the look, but the flowing dress was still appropriate and chic.
Uma Thurman
Zhang Ziyi
Zhang Ziyi, considered one of China’s biggest stars, is part of the Four Dan Actresses. This is the reason why top designers want to work with her from all over the world. During the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, she put on a Stephane Rolland Couture number. It was meant to look futuristic, and many individuals applauded the dress choice!
Zhang Ziyi
Cara Delevingne
We’re sure you know who Cara Delevingne is! On the red carpet, the outgoing and daring lady always killed it. She wore a Burberry dress with lace sleeves for the Cannes Film Festival in 2013. She looked great, particularly after she added a red lip and diamond jewelry. One of the most wanted in the industry, the British model, has worked with Balmain, Burberry, Chanel, and Dior.
Cara Delevingne
Cheryl Cole
Cheryl Cole is a British singer who has always been a bit of a hit and misses her fashion sense. The fact that she looked amazing during the 2012 Cannes Film Festival was a good thing. Her Stephane Rolland Couture show-stopping scarlet and white dress had a feathered train that looked like it dissolved into the carpet.
Cheryl Cole
Michelle Williams
In 2010, Michelle Williams decided to give the Cannes Film Festival a feminine and flowing look. The star chose Chanel’s blush-pink dress. It was an understated piece, but from all the dramatic gowns that everyone else wore to the event, it just made her stand out.
Michelle Williams
Camilla Belle
Camilla Belle looked amazing when wearing this Gucci Premiere midnight blue dress for the 2010 Cannes Film Festival. There was a thigh-high slit on this one-shoulder dress. Paired with a red lip, this made her look pretty sultry. When she was young, the actress made her debut, and her agreeable nature and good looks helped her gain notoriety.
Camilla Belle
Kristen Stewart
Some people are probably going to say that Kristen Stewart is not the most elegant celebrity out there. Despite this, even during the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, they can’t deny that she looked fantastic! She wore a red dress from Reem Acra that made everybody do a double-take! Those red lips went along with it perfectly.
Kristen Stewart
Julia Roberts
There is no denying that one of the biggest stars in Hollywood is Julia Roberts. It is not surprising to hear that she wants to work with many designers. When she showed up at the Cannes Film Festival in 2016, she put on a chic black dress by Armani Prive. We love the look of the bodice, as well as its billowing skirt. By wearing an emerald and diamond necklace with it, she made the right choice.
Julia Roberts
Blake Lively
When Blake Lively arrived at the Cannes Film Festival’s red carpet in 2014, she became the event’s highlight. We love how amazing she looked in this Gucci Premiere dress that went well with her red lips and ruby and diamond jewelry. She was accompanied to the event by Ryan Reynolds, her husband.
Blake Lively
Samara Weaving
When Samara Weaving appeared on the red carpet in a floor-length dress cinched at her waist, she looked nothing short of stunning. It came with a criss-cross band that only made it stand out from her figure. With its boldface of makeup, the Schiaparelli number sparkled brighter! Her mascara and smoky eyes just made her flushed cheeks stand out even more, and her nude lips. The Home and Away star decided to go with a Valextra clutch purse, which looked great with her dress!
Samara Weaving
Nicole Kidman
We are impressed by the fact that Nicole Kidman continues to dazzle us year after year at award shows, even though some people claim that the show-stealer was her Armani Prive dress. This beautiful woman is in her fifties now, but it is clear that she is gracefully aging! The leg split in the center of her dress simply drew our eyes to the gown’s dramatic bow. Her heart-shaped top only made people envious of her amazing body and neckline.
Nicole Kidman
Eiza Gonzalez
If you ask around, many people will tell you that Eiza Gonzalez dominated in terms of fashion at the 2018 Academy Awards. This Mexican actress may not be the biggest star just yet, but she blew people away with Baby Driver’s performance. She turned heads during the event in a bright yellow dress by Ralph Lauren. She opted for cat-eye and red lips when it came to makeup.
Eiza Gonzalez
Charlize Theron
During the Cannes Film Festival in 2015, Charlize Theron was a sight to behold in her outfit. In her Christion Dior gown, the South African actress looked amazing. To let the gown do the talking, she decided to pull her hair back and wear minimal jewelry. On the red carpet, the epitome of poise and class, this incredible actress has always been a stunner.
Charlize Theron
Gal Gadot
In a slinky ’20s-style gown by Givenchy, Gal Gadot showed up for the Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. She looked like the perfect flapper with this dress and her slicked-down hair! With the plunging neckline, which went down to the midriff, the real-life Wonder Woman looked great. Her silver outfit came with a dark metallic fringe curtain that had reached her own hem.
Gal Gadot
Jennifer Lawrence
In a glowing gunmetal gown designed by Dior, the Silver Linings Playbook actress stepped onto the red carpet. There was a fitted corset-like top on the sequined couture held upright by only two delicate black strings. In the sense that it was form-fitting until the hips, then loosened all the way to the hem, the floor-length gown was flattering. With her loose, wavy blonde locks and smokey eyes, the glamorous golden gown went well, and the total look was made perfect thanks to her minimal jewelry.
Jennifer Lawrence
Priyanka Chopra
Do you think this is a more sensual dress or a more elegant one? We’re going to let you be the judge of the gown Priyanka Chopra wore to the 2017 Oscars! She went with this Ralph & Russo futuristic dress. She decided to style her hair in a sleek side part and donned sparkling diamonds with an estimated value of more than $5 million!
Priyanka Chopra
Kendall Jenner
Let’s take a look at another great outfit that Kendall Jenner wore. The young model wore Giambattista Valli’s asymmetrical gown for the Cannes Film Festival in 2017. This stylish number, as you can imagine, only made her the talk of the town! She has collaborated with brands like Balmain, Tom Ford, Givenchy, and Chanel in the past.

Aishwarya Rai
One of the biggest Indian actresses on the planet is Aishwarya Rai. When she is on the red carpet, she definitely knows how to dazzle us. At the Cannes Film Festival in 2017, she wore a Michael Cinco princess gown. In the film industry, the amazing actress made a name for herself, but she started when she took home the Miss World crown in 1994. She is also a model who has worked with brands such as Titan Watches, Pepsi, and Coca-Cola, aside from her acting career.
Aishwarya Rai
Taraji P. Henson
For her role in Empire, Taraji P. Henson is best known. She wore a gorgeous gown by Vera Wang, which during the 2018 Academy Awards, left people speechless. The actress was very pleased with the outfit, but she told ET that she wanted a higher slit. “I’m not afraid,” she revealed. “Vera was like, ‘Let’s take it there!’ Wangy bangy, baby.” We like how the French tulle dress came with a sheer back and an illusion keyhole neckline. She looked fantastic in it!
Taraji P. Henson
Gal Gadot
We got another unbelievable red carpet look from Gal Gadot. In a very Wonder Woman outfit, she attended the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in 2018. In a dark red gown by Armani Prive, the actress showed up at the event. We adore the flattering cut and the dress’s shimmery material. With certain ease that she likes so much, this outfit came in. She didn’t have to put dramatic accessories, fancy embellishments, or boldface makeup. Her natural beauty already makes her shine, after all.
