If looking at great dresses is your idea of a good time, then welcome. The Academy Awards is the most important, star-studded red carpet of any year, which makes it the most exciting in terms of fashion. While it's preceded by an array of awards shows including the Golden Globes and the BAFTAs, the A-list tends to save The Big Guns for Oscar night. This is great news for fans of what I – and J.Lo – like to call Big Dress Energy.

Historically, The Oscars has provided some excellent and very memorable fashion moments, from Jennifer Lawrence tripping up the stairs in her Dior gown to Audrey Hepburn winning the Best Actress award in Givenchy.

This year, the celebs include the likes of Renée Zellweger, Margot Robbie, Regina King, Laura Dern and Scarlett Johansson. So, feast your eyes on the most amazing gowns and outfits gracing the red carpet. You might just be witnessing fashion history in the making.
