In 1929 Janet Gaynor took home the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in Sunrise:  A Song for Two Humans. She looked stunning in a modest jumper, paired with a knee-length skirt and a silk scarf. It is considered to be the most low-key outfit in Oscar history!

When Bette Davis accepted the Academy Award for Best Actress (Dangerous) in 1936, she wore an Orry-Kelly dress with wide white lapels. As always, she looked gorgeous!
