The stars have always shined their brightest at the Academy Awards, ever since the first ceremony in 1929.
The Oscars will take place this Sunday at 8:30 p.m. on ABC. To prepare for all the stunning dresses we're about to ogle, we took a look back through history to see some of the most iconic looks to ever grace the red carpet.
From a Gap button-down that shocked the world to a Grecian gown fit for a goddess, these are the 22 most iconic looks in Oscars history.

Gwyneth Paltrow stunned in her pink Ralph Lauren dress in 1999 when she accepted her Oscar for "Shakespeare in Love."
Paltrow previously told People Style that she has been saving every one of her Oscars dresses and hopes that her daughter Apple might wear one to prom.
"Maybe she'll wear [my pink Ralph Lauren dress] to prom and do a 'Pretty in Pink' thing and resew it and cut it up," she said. "I don’t know if I’d let her chop that one up."
Halle Berry made history in this dress as the first black woman to win a best actress award in 2002.
Berry gave a powerful acceptance speech for her role in "Monster's Ball" that night that was just as talked about as her Elie Saab dress.
"I believed that in that moment, that when I said, 'The door tonight has been opened,' I believed that with every bone in my body that this was going to incite change because this door, this barrier, had been broken,"she said at the Makers Conference in 2016. "To sit here almost 15 years later, and knowing that another woman of color has not walked through that door, is heartbreaking."
Since her win in 2002, only four black women have been nominated for a best actress Oscar, including Ruth Negga ("Loving") this year.
When she won her award for "Monster" in 2004, Charlize Theron wore this incredible, shimmery gown.
Theron always stuns on the red carpet — look no further than her Oscars look in 2016— but this gorgeous Gucci gown was a showstopper, as was Theron herself "fresh off a trip to Brazil."
