18 Actresses Who Got Their Oscar Garb Straight Off the Runway and Added a Special Charm to Their Look

Every year, the Oscar Awards ceremony draws the attention of millions of fans from around the world. While some of them are left guessing who is gonna get that sought-after statuette, others are attracted by the celebrities’ looks. All because the red carpet has already become a kind of runway for showing off outfits. As a rule, most of them are custom-tailored. But there are also cases where actresses decide to opt for dresses from the collections presented by designers.
