Plunging necklines! Thigh-high slits! Cutouts! Hollywood’s A-listers always bring the heat to the Academy Awards.
While winning a gold statue is the main goal at the Oscars, stars are also set on slaying the red carpet. Although some have played it safe, opting for ballgowns and high necklines, other celebs show up to the Oscars in the sexiest, most skin-baring dresses, suits and gowns the fashion world has to offer.
For starters, Angelina Jolie commanded attention in her black strapless Atelier Versace gown at the 2012 show. The strapless getup was the talk of the night, and to add even more drama to the ensemble, the Maleficent star wore a bright red lip and stilettos. If there were an award for Best Supporting Appendage, her leg would have certainly gone home with a statue.
Then in 2020, Cardi B took the plunge with one of the deepest necklines we’ve ever seen. She wore a navy Dona Matashi gown that came to a close just above her belly button.
Without further ado, look through the all-time sexiest Oscars red carpet fashion moments from years past:
