Oscars weekend is upon us, which means iconic fashion moments are likely on the horizon. In the spirit of the big event, we asked our EIC for a few of the favorite looks she’s styled for the Academy Awards over the years. Click through for 6 breathtaking dresses on equally gorgeous A-listers and what find out why these particular moments stand out in Rachel’s mind.
Jennifer Lawrence in Dior Haute Couture, 2013
“I consider this one of my favorite memories of my styling career. Jen’s Dior haute couture gown was youthful, elegant and reminds me of something that Grace Kelly would have worn. Such a movie-star moment—especially since Jen won an Oscar in it!”

Jennifer Garner in Vintage Valentino Couture, 2004
“Jen Garner and Valentino are always a perfect marriage. To this day, this is one of my favorite moments that we shared together. The gown was vintage couture from the ’70s and when she tried it on, Jen said she’d never put on a prettier dress! This red-carpet moment was huge—it literally shaped her career.”

Kiera Knightley in Custom Vera Wang & Vintage Bulgari Jewelry, 2006
“We fit Kiera in this custom Vera Wang literally the night before The Oscars. Unsurprisingly, the beautiful Bordeaux gown fit perfectly. At the time, it was pretty unexpected to pair such a statement-making necklace with a one-shoulder silhouette but we did anyways. Personally, I think the vintage Bulgari piece completed the look. Thoughts?”

“A custom gown is always more breathtaking than you could ever imagine—Anne’s Armani Privé number is proof. Such a beautiful red-carpet moment.”

Demi Moore in Atelier Versace, 2010
“This was a major princess moment for Demi. The blush hue of her custom Atelier Versace gown and her skin tone complemented each other so well. She wore tons of vintage diamonds, too! The overall look was so ethereal and magnificent.”
