2012: Kristen Wiig

Kristen Wiig may be widely known for her comedic chops, but the actress sure knows how to put on a serious show on the Oscars’ red carpet. A perfect example of this is her 2012 look for the 84th Academy Awards held in California.

Wiig decided to go the safe route with the choice of color, but the layered tulle detail gave the dress a needed degree of femininity to make it look timeless. The 48-year-old star was up for a Best Screenplay Award that night, and we could all agree that this J. Mendel dress was the perfect choice for a winning moment. Sadly, the actress did not go home with a statue, but she definitely earned a spot among Hollywood’s most iconic Oscar fashion moments. The Bridesmaids actress has since served looks after looks on the red carpet. What we love about it is that it just keeps getting better every year!
