Who’s ready for the 2019 Oscars? Last year, the stars showed up in all black for the Times Up movement. This time around, they’re showing their true colors by wearing whatever they please.

Over the years, the stars have given us some lewks that are worth talking about. Here are the top 10 red carpet moments of all time.

Zendaya Coleman

Zendaya Coleman’s Vivienne Westwood gown and faux locs hairstyle was the talk of the night when Fashion Police host Giuliana Rancic said she looked like she smells like weed and patchouli oil. Unfortunately, that statement overshadowed her gorgeous look in 2015.
