4. Audrey’s Black Dress:
One of the most iconic fashion moments of all times, the LBD was never worn like the way Audrey wore it in Breakfast with Tiffany. The black dress with the black gloves to go with, that Audrey Hepburn wore playing the character of Holly Golightly took the LBD to a different level altogether. The dress designed by Hubert de Givenchy, accessorized with a multi-rowed pearl neckpiece and a mini tiara is still referred to as one of the most desirable dresses of all times by women of all ages.

6. Rose’s Ball Dance Gown:
In the history of modern cinema, there is perhaps no other movie as perfect as Titanic. Right from cinematography, direction, background score, acting and costumes. Every aspect of this movie was impeccable. Kate Winslet has never looked as pretty as she did in Titanic, doing utmost justice to the name given to her in this movie – Rose. Of the many periodic costumes that she stunned in, the black sequenced gown she wore at the ball remains afresh in the memories of the audience even after 15 years of the movie’s release.

9. Kidman’s Haute Couture:
When it comes to award nights, what the Academy Awards of 1997 was brought to, is sadly a scene that Hollywood will not see again. It was Nichole Kidman in her flawless slender frame in a boat neck haute couture gown who walked the red carpet hand-in-hand with the then husband and Hollywood heartthrob Tom Cruise. The ensemble was a Christian Dior by John Galliano and raised the fashion bar to a whole new level.

10. Lady Diana’s Revenge Dress:
What Lady Diana knew about fashion could have given any of our Hollywood stars a run for their money and no wonder she had made multiple appearances to our list. The Princess of Wales scaled a new height of revenge when she emerged in this bold figure hugging silk dress by Christina Stambolian. The lady was initially said to have been a li’l apprehensive to sport it as it was too revealing for a Royal family member. But she later wore it to the Serpentine Gallery summer party. This, apparently, was the same day Prince Charles made his infamous confession of his adultery with Camilla Parker Bowles, the present Duchess of Cornwall. The dress thus won its famous title of being The Revenge Dress.

11. Kate Middleton’s Engagement Dress:
Time for the royalty to appear in the list again. This time it’s none other than the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton. One legacy Kate has taken over from her late mother-in-law, Lady Diana is her immaculate sense of styling. She wore a conservative yet sophisticated royal blue Issa dress that fell to her knees. The blue of the dress was decided much to go with the color of her engagement ring. This ring had initially served as Princess Diana’s wedding ring and was popularly known as the Commoner’s Sapphire.

12. Michelle Obama’s Ivory Gown:
Having said much about the British Royalty let’s make a move towards the White House. Here we have picked up the First Lady’s sparkling ivory colored Jason Wu gown that she wore to the Mid-Atlantic Inaugural Ball in Jan 2009. Mrs. Obama stunned the onlookers with her never fading smile and charm and the rest was taken care of by the single shoulder floor length evening gown that she teamed up with multiple bracelets and matching sandals.
