Oscar dresses

So the next Red Carpet is I believe the Oscars and I found this image on Pintrest this morning and just thought it was amazing I'm really interested in the history of fashion from designers stories to the clothing itself and this really appealed to me! I currently have 3 new books to start about the lives and craziness of influential women in the fashion industry! Once I read one I will post a review :) 

Styles have of course hanged over the years but every one of the dresses would have looked amazing!
