Commenced in 1929, the Oscar Awards hold a prestige that is one of its kind. While the awards are all about honouring the best in the craft, the red carpet is the place that witnesses some remarkable looks. It’s no secret that beauty and fashion have evolved monumentally in the last decade, and the red carpet looks testify that. As we’re approaching the 93rd Oscars, here’s a round-up of the most iconic and unforgettable beauty looks on the red carpet in the last decade.
