Jane Fonda, 1972
Fonda digressed from the typical ballgown look and opted for a haute couture suit from Yves Saint Laurent. Her choice of dress got everyone talking but luckily the attention was diverted to her Oscar win for best actress in the movie, Klute.
Faye Dunaway, 1977
Faye won Best Actress for her role in the movie Network. Her choice of dress was rather interesting and not a typical look that a Best Actress nominee would wear. Nevertheless, she wore the classic black velvet look- a look you can’t go wrong with.
