30+ Vintage Photos From the Oscars Over the Years

Awards season is Hollywood's busiest and most glamorous time in the social calendar. The Academy Awards, better known to most as the Oscars, is one of the biggest Hollywood events. It brings together class and style to an event that honors acting greats. From Julianne Moore in 1995 to Raquel Welch in 1979, these are the vintage Oscar photos we'll never forget.

Daryl Hannah

There's no doubting Daryl Hannah's beauty as she walked the red carpet at the Academy Awards in 1988. A young actress with a bright future, she was known for her roles in hit movies like Splash, Roxanne, and the 1989 movie Steel Magnolias.

While Daryl has never won an Oscar, she has appeared in Academy Award-nominated films, making her a red-carpet regular with her impressive looks. This look from 1988, however, is one of our favorites.

Richard Gere and Cindy Crawford

The relationship between Richard Gere and Cindy Crawford was very much a life-imitating-art scenario that saw the couple fall in love in nearly the same way that Gere and Julia Roberts' character did in his hit movie Pretty Woman.

Their red carpet appearance in 1991 marked their union as man and wife, and saw the couple very much in love as they smiled and waved to their fans. Cindy's red dress was also a nod to the movie, making this a special and noteworthy appearance.

Candice Bergen

Did you know that actress Candice Bergen was a popular model before she started her impressive film career in the '60s? Her appearance at the 1973 Academy Awards was unsurprising as she strutted her stuff, looking flawless.

Presenting the award for Best Cinematography, Bergen looked regal in a floor-length taupe-colored dress that highlighted her best features and made her look nothing short of confident and glamorous, earning her a spot on our list of the best vintage looks from the Oscars over the years.

Anne Heche and Ellen DeGeneres

Anne and Ellen were the "it couple" of the '90s, making them both regulars at big Hollywood red-carpet events like the Oscars. Snapped at the Academy Awards in 1999, the couple looked gorgeous as they entered the venue.

We may question why they chose to wear matching shades on the red carpet. Regardless, their fashionable outfits more than make up for their strange choice of glasses. It makes them worthy of a spot on our coveted list of Oscar looks from the past.
