The red carpet is so much more than fabulous gowns on famous people; it reflects the styles and values of each era and has become a platform to make social statements. Red Carpet Oscars presents over 90 years of fashion worn at the event since its inception in 1929, charting what the stars wore and why.
From homemade and pre-loved dresses to ready-to-wear and haute couture, it tracks the style evolution of Hollywood's leading stars, the commercialisation of the red carpet and emergence of stylists, and the radical shifts that reshaped formal dressing. Fashion writer Dijanna Mulhearn has compiled the ultimate fashion resource that celebrates both the glamour and the impact of one of the most watched red-carpet runways in the world.
