Oscar, 46 amazing dresses that you may not remember from the 1980s

I tried typing in Google Images: “80s Oscar look“. The first results of the research didn’t surprise me that much: Geena Davis with the white dress all curled up and the long tail, Kim Basinger still in white, but with a half blazer and half dress wedding dress, Cher in its nude manifestations, more nude looks than looks.

I also tried in English: “most iconic dresses academy awards eightiesAnd a legendary appears on the screen Demi Moore with wide open dress over black couture cycling shorts, Meryl Streep wrapped up in white, triumphant with her statuette in her hand, and some other well-known face of the seventh art, very popular in those years and now far from the screens. But not from gossip magazines.

In short, images, actresses (and above all outfits) well impressed in the collective memoryentered by right in the history of the most coveted film award ever (and, almost as a consequence, in that of the most exaggerated, exciting and glamorous costume of the decade ever: the never too regrets 1980s).

I then wanted – like a bookworm, indeed, from the internet – to go and sift through the files of photo agencies, to find dresses, looks, actresses that had been lost in the meanders of my mind. Back, like new, to surprise me with the cheeky, sensual, disturbing and today more than ever fascinating style of the Eighties. Thus, forgotten shots of the stars of the time re-emerged, from Daryl Hannah to the beautiful Cybill Shepherdfrom Sigourney Weaver to Sean Youngfrom Ornella Muti (yes!) a Jamie Lee Curtisand the clothes they have chosen to parade on the red carpet poised between cinema and history, in a parade of breathtaking looks to be recovered and enjoyed in the gallery below.
