Being nominated for an Academy Award is one of the highest honors in the world of the performing arts. This year's nominees for Best Actress are all incredibly stylish women in their own right, but the women who have won in the past were as well! While we try to guess what Reese Witherspoon and Julianne Moore might wear to this year's show, take a look at the last 10 winners of the Academy Award for Best Actress and what they wore on their exciting night.
Do you see the trend we're seeing? With a few select standouts (Hilary Swank's navy blue and Natalie Portman's fuchsia) almost all of the winners wore a soft, neutral, often shimmery hue. Should this year's nominees take note?!
