Who is this?
a) Cybill Shepherd in 1990b) Jennifer Lopez in 2013c) Rita Ora in 2015
Oh, the naked dress! From the Globes to the Met Gala, there wasn't a formal celeb event in the past few years that wasn't graced by a barely-there gown. While the trend works well for sexy stars like J.Lo, surprisingly, Cybill was one of the first to introduce the look to the red carpet arena.
a) Perrey Reeves in 1992b) Selma Blair in 2002c) Natalie Portman in 2015
Trick question! While Perrey did wear this velvet dress to the 1992 Golden Globes, this photo was taken of the Entourage star at a 2015 Globes after-party. Perrey is probably the only one in red carpet history who has re-worn a dress to the same event. If we could fit in a dress more than 20 years later, we would too!
a) Sarah Jessica Parker in 1999 b) Natalie Portman in 2011c) Kristen Stewart in 2013
Let's be real: Flats are pretty much unheard of at the Globes (unless your SJP circa 1999, that is). However, a pretty-pregnant Natalie Portman wasn't going to waste the night away at an after-party in painful heels, especially after winning Best Actress for her turn in Black Swan.
a) Sharon Stone in 1987 b) Andie MacDowell in 1991c) Reese Witherspoon in 2007
The early '90s was the age of mini-dresses, with everyone from Andie MacDowell to Julia Roberts wearing shorter hemlines. Eventually, however, attire got more formal, which is why fashion critics were shocked and thrilled when Reese Witherspoon stepped out in a short, simple, canary-yellow Olivier Theyskens for Nina Ricci frock in 2007.
a) Anita Ekberg in 1956b) Marilyn Monroe in 1962 c) Amal Clooney in 2015
It was the fashion statement that made a million memes—the Internet went crazy over Amal's old-school gloves, something that was a popular trend during the '50s but lost some style steam through the decades.
a) Debbie Reynolds in 1966b) Gwyneth Paltrow in 2012c) Lupita Nyong'o in 2014
If you didn't guess this correctly, you need a red-carpet refresh! Lupita made fashion history in this now-iconic Ralph Lauren cape dress. We just wonder if similar sentiments were felt when Debbie Reynolds wore a cape-like gown in the mid '60s.
a) Lynda Carter in 1977b) Diane Keaton in 1988c) Tina Fey in 2015
These days, funny girls like Tina Fey and Amy Poehler love a good tuxedo suit on the red carpet, but Lynda Carter was one of the first women to wear the masculine ensemble to a black-tie event.
a) Jane Seymour in 1987b) Drew Barrymore in 1998 c) Beyonce in 2003
It looks a bit dated but it wasn't too long ago that Queen Bey was a dainty princess in an A-line gown with floral detailing. Although the mid-century saw plenty of similar silhouettes, big ball gowns weren't really popular until the late '80s, as evidenced by Jane Seymour at the '87s Globes.
a) Raquel Welch in 1981b) Kim Cattrall in 1992 c) Emma Stone in 2015
Jumpsuits were all the rage at last year's award shows, with Emma's brilliant Lanvin iteration garnering best dressed votes across the board. However, looking back, actress Raquel Welch was one of the first women to wear the menswear-inspired trend on a Golden Globes red carpet.
a) Ali MacGraw in 1972 b) Kim Kardashian in 2013 c) Anna Kendrick in 2015
Even though the sleek middle part is extremely trendy today—with celebs like Kim K. wearing it on a daily basis and the Pitch Perfect star rocking it at last year's awards show—the hairstyle is a classic look that was very popular in the '70s.
