A ticket to the Oscars represents acceptance within the circle of cinematic excellence. The 95th Academy Awards is just a couple of days away, and we are practically counting down the hours until we find out who has bagged Best Actress. (Our money is on the ever-immaculate Cate Blanchett.)
Speaking of flawlessness, we’ll also be keeping an eye out for the hair and makeup looks that make us bow down in awe. In the meantime, we’re looking back on the most striking red carpet beauty moments from Oscars past.
