Screen Style: Leslie Caron In 'An American In Paris'

French-born Leslie Caron proved the epitomy of graceful in the 1951 film 'An American in Paris' - thanks, no doubt, to Orry-Kelly's costume design. Orry-Kelly took an Oscar for his work with the film, which stars Caron as the taken love interest of Gene Kelly's character, a US painter struggling abroad.

Screen Style: Elizabeth Taylor In 'Cleopatra'

Elizabeth Taylor became the highest-paid movie star to date when she accepted $1 million to play the title role in 'Cleopatra'. The 1963 film starred her as the legendary Egyptian queen, and Taylor's future husband, Richard Burton, as Marc Antony. The two created a movie magazine scandal (like tabloid exploits today) when they started dating, despite both being married to other people.

But on to fashion. Prolific costume designer Renie won an Oscar for her work on the film, and she was nominated for another four Academy Awards. Renie got her start in the industry by designing theatre sets and then being a sketch artist for Paramount. We guess being able to do it all helps!

Screen Style: Grace Kelly in 'To Catch a Thief'

Costume designer Edith Head received an Oscar nomination for her work with Grace Kelly in the 1955 Hitchcock film 'To Catch a Thief'. Head introduced Kelly to Hermes, and after that, the house named the iconic Kelly bag after her.

Set in the French Riviera, the film stars Kelly as Francie Stevens, an adventurous heiress who falls in love with a former cat burgler (Cary Grant) trying to prove his innocence after recent heists. We say: We'd like to steal those clothes.

Rate or Slate: Julianne Hough Is Excited

I was first introduced to this little lady while in a post-knee surgery morphine haze in a Kansas City hospital. At the time, I was more concerned with whether Ritz crackers would be too wild and crazy for my stomach than watching her shake her sequins on the 2007 Dancing with the Stars finale. But two years later, here she is winning a Top New Artist statue at the Academy Of Country Music Awards. (Ballroom dancer to country singer?) Does her dress look red-carpet-ready, or does she look too much like an Oscar for her own good?
