2007: Helen Mirren

Helen Mirren is no stranger to the red carpet at the Oscars. After all, several of her work has been nominated for the coveted award. Some of these are The Madness of King George, The Last Station, and Gosford Park. She has also won three successive British Academy Television Awards for Best Actress. As a multi-awarded actress, we expect her to dress powerfully when attending the award-giving ceremonies.

In 2017, Mirren did not disappoint when she came in wearing a whitish Christian Lacroix. She was one of the five who were nominated for the Best Actress category that year, along with Penelope Cruz, Judi Dench, Meryl Streep, and Kate Winslet. Guess who won? Mirren, of course. Her win was actually overshadowed by her dress as many admired the gown she was wearing that night. Equally stunning was her humble demeanor during her acceptance speech, where she gave credit to everyone who helped her earn that “gold star”.
