2003: Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman is absolutely on the pulse when it comes to fashion, nailing everything from street style to red carpet gowns (and pantsuits!). The actress is no stranger to red carpet outfits that are both ethereal and seductive. As a result, it should come as no surprise that the Australian star usually puts on a show when she attends the yearly most prominent award ceremony—the Oscars. Keith Urban’s wife has been attending the Academy Awards for more than two decades, and while she may not choose to wear some of her earlier outfits these days, they’re worth revisiting.

Out of all her gowns, this one tops our list. In 2003, she won Best Actress for her portrayal in The Hours. Kidman received the trophy in a Jean Paul Gaultier flooring-length asymmetrical black gown. After the event, Gaultier graciously donated the haute couture garment at an intimate VIP cocktail party.
