The 18 Best Oscar Dresses Of All Time

💃
By 

Fashion Editor, The Huffington Post

There are few red carpets as iconic as the Oscars red carpet. Gowns can go down in history when actors wear them to the prestigious award show. (We all remember Björk's swan dress). While some of the dresses go down in history because they are outrageous, others are remembered because they are downright stunning. 

Ahead of Sunday's show, we decided to rank the 18 most beautiful dresses in Oscars history. Trust us, it was tough.
