Awards' Season Special - Unforgettable Red Carpet Dresses

As Hollywood goes into awards season - let's reminisce some notable moments.

Who could forget Johnny Depp's long-time partner, french superstar Vanessa Paradis' red carpet appearance during the Critic's Choice Awards in Beverly Hills almost 4 years ago? It was a shock to many to see her wear, an "unknown" designer for this event, despite her contract with Chanel. She was photographed by every tabloid and high fashion magazine out there. She even got a write-up about how unique her style is on Elle magazine and labeled her ensemble as "vintage".

Even designer Luthgarda didn't know that she was going to wear one of her creations to the red carpet or she would have prepared "the" outfit for her. Paradis has been a long-time customer of Luthgarda, owning countless original pieces from scarves to skirts.

Four years later, Luth Garde continues to run the Vanessa dress and is still one of the label's most popular and best selling silhouettes. It continues to be a dreamy style that has evolved using various fabrics.
