The 94th Academy Awards, or Oscars as they are more commonly known, return to Hollywood this evening (March 28).
Hosted by Regina Hall, Wanda Sykes and Amy Schumer, many of the world’s biggest stars of the silver screen will be walking the red carpet as they prepare to find out who has won some of the film industry’s most prestigious awards.
However, all eyes will not only be on the awards – but on the dazzling outfits that the celebrities will be wearing throughout the evening.
The Oscars has given us some of the world’s most iconic red carpet outfits – from sheer dresses, to lace gowns and revealing necklines.
To celebrate the return of the Oscars, Daily Star takes a look at some of the ceremony’s hottest looks ever.

Music icon Cher has given us some of the red carpet’s most memorable looks of all time – but it is her 1988 Oscar’s outfit that captured the eyes of the world.
Cher has never been afraid to show off a bit of skin, and her Oscars look was no different, with the star collecting her Moonstruck Best Actress award in a sheer blue gown – complete with dazzling beading and tassels.
The sexy look was completed with an up-do hairstyle and glowing, sunkissed make-up – with many stars following in Cher’s footsteps and recreating the look over the years since then.

Think of Cindy Crawford and one look springs to mind immediately – her 1991 Oscars outfit.
Arriving on the red carpet with then hubby Richard Gere, Cindy’s Versace dress was nothing short of perfection as it showed off her slender frame.
The model turned heads with the gown’s plunging neckline, while her brunette locks and signature smile captivated the crowds outside the ceremony – and gave us one of the Oscars most memorable outfits of all time in the process.

Cameron Diaz is classic Hollywood glamour personified, particularly her blonde bob and sultry look from the 2000 Oscars ceremony.
The star arrived on the red carpet wearing a sultry black Versace dress, complete with low neckline, with its sheer lace flashing Cameron’s underwear through the dress, and revealing her toned pins through the thigh high split.
Complete with vamp red nail polish and barely there make-up, Cameron looked radiant as she cemented her status as both a Hollywood star and fashion icon.

Halle Berry’s 2002 Oscar appearance was as memorable for her gorgeous outfit, as it was for her powerful speech, after she won Best Actress for Monsters Ball.
The world looked on mesmerised as Halle captivated the red carpet and the stage in a revealing red sheer Ellie Saab gown, with floral details to hide her modesty.
Complete with a red floor length taffeta skirt and crop haircut, Halle Berry was the essence of glamour, chic and high fashion at the awards ceremony – where both her role and outfit won the evening.

Beyonce is another music icon who has served high fashion looks throughout the years, including her memorable 2007 Oscars outfit.
The singer showed off her dazzling smile as she posed for photographs in the beautiful white silk Armani gown, complete with sweetheart neckline and runching, with the floor length skirt flowing over Beyonce’s stunning curves.
Silver floral beading detail dripped across the singer’s chest for an extra touch of glitz, while her brunette locks flowed past her shoulders – making her look every inch the Hollywood icon that she is.

Angelina Jolie is the very essence of classic Hollywood glamour, radiating sexiness and high fashion with every red carpet look.
Her 2012 Oscars appearance was no different, posing for photos in a black ruffle Aterlier Versace dress that was cinched at the waist to show the star’s stunning figure.
Angelina also sent fans wild by flashing her long legs through the split of the gown, while her smoky eyes and pop of red lipstick added an extra element of sex appeal to the breath taking look.

Oliva Wilde’s Oscars look was certainly eye-popping as she arrived on the red carpet in 2016.
The star dazzled as she arrived in a cream pleated floor length gown, completed with wide straps that showed off Olivia’s toned torso, and a deep cut neckline that gave a cheeky flash of skin.
The high fashion glam look, designed by Valentino Haute Couture, was paired with smoky eye make-up and a up-do hairstyle for a sultry finish.
