The top 10 most iconic dresses of the past 50 years

I think there were FAR more Iconic (in a good and bad ways) dresses in the past 50 years than some of these. Gwenyth's dress is boring, ill-fitted, and looks like she's going to a high school homecoming dance. The only reason I even remember it is because one of the South Park creators wore it when they dressed in drag at the Oscars, it surely wasn't "Iconic". Edie Sedgwick's dress is def not something I'd consider "Iconic". I think the dress Halle Berry wore when she won her Oscar, Princess Diana's wedding gown, Elizabeth Taylor's gowns in Cleopatra, and Tina Turner's dress when she performed Proud Mary were all very Iconic dresses, I think they should've made the list over Gwenyth, Edie, Bianca, and even Cher (though that costume/dress WAS memoriable). Diana and Elizabeth were fashion Icons like Jackie, for nothing they wore to be mentioned doesn't seem right.I can't believe how prudish some of the comments on here are! Wearing a gown that shows some skin or is tight doesn't make a women a #$%$, it simply means she's proud of her body and condfident like ALL women should be! I think the people making the catty and spiteful comments are too insecure about themselves to wear outfits like these so they put down the women who do wear them, or they don't like the celebrity wearing the dress so they won't admit they look good. There are women on the list I do NOT like, but I have no problem complimenting them for looking good!For example, I can't stand Jennifer Lopez. Other than "Anaconda", "Selena", and "Jack", which were great, all of her other movies suck. They are mostly just the same romantic comedy over and over and over again with a different male lead. Even when she does do different types of movies, they suck. Her music is crap now, she hasn't had a good song since the "I'm Real" remix. Her clothing line is trasy, hideous, cheap looking garbage, made even worse by all the fur she uses (there's nothing uglier than someone wearing a bunch of dead animal hide, it's disgusting and not fashionable, it's sick).BUT, she looked AMAZING in that Versace gown! I think it should be number one, EVERYBODY remembers that dress! If I had a body like Jennifer's (but with MY breasts, I like mine better than hers lol), I'd rock that dress all the time! Her private parts were covered, what's the big deal?!? You can easily see more skin than that at the beach! I think the people making the nasty comments are jealous that they can't wear dresses like that and look that good! Grow up, just because you're insecure doesn't mean you have to insult someone who's confident.

Cher's dress was awful only made worse by that thing on her head. It's rediculous to wear a long dress with long sleves and still be half naked.

Hi buffalo gal. That era was my era. You did not dare "suprise" if you were presenting yourself as a "good girl". Jackie O was presented as the Opitomy of virtue, sophisticaion an modesty. So in my day you did not "surprise". If you did you were a Marilyn Monroe, a slut!
Now people, this is America, true, but shouldn't Jenniffer Lopez's dress be banned. This is just too much. And all she did was giggle with embarassment when ever a man made a comment about the conspicuous lack of her dress

Rondo.....you made me laugh...you are right Monica Lewinsky navy blue dress with the stains it's really Iconic

I want Marilyn's dress!! Any1 care 2 chip in?

I think, that if JLo's dress was a web site, the link would be www.whybother.com.

And what about Penelope Cruz dress when she got her Oscar? I preferred it better than Gwyneth's and Cher's outfit...uuuuurrrr.

I'm back-tell Cher she looked like she was going to a halloween party for mis-fits. Does anyone out there watch "all my children"? Several years ago, there was a scene where she was dressed in the most beautiful "southern belle" style dress. Never have seen anything as classy as Susan Lucci in that gown. yummy, yummy, yummy!!!!!!

I've seen hookers on the street with more coverage than J.lo, how
sleazy can you get? Shame on you, J.Lo. tsk, tsk.

yuk

classy dress

Jacqueline Kennedy and Audrey Hepburn were always ladies no matter what they wore. They could have worn a burlap bag and been ladies, and some of the so-called "stars" today don't know what a lady is.

what about Marilyn White Halter Dress?!?!... now THAT was a dress!!!

madonna, really? on the same paige with Jackie-o and Audrey Hepburn. not even close to the same class or elegence.Michelle O needs a new stylist or needs to get a real good gal-pal that will tell her the truth.!!!

whole combination of wearing Audrey Hepburn's dress is best.

I am surprised no one mentioned Grace Kelly's golden gown from To Catch A Thief. That is pretty amazing, iconic, and unforgetable!

Marilyn Monroe....What is more sexy than white?

well; It looks like versace wins hands down... class and elegance to boot. remember the isn't the only thing ,.......... must consider body type .

Audry's and Monrow's dresses are most gorgous and they had the shapes to define them.

My personal opinion about The Princess Diana's black Dress, it is classy, beautiful, and stunning, the one she made it look that way,is The most decent and beautiful Princess in all hearts and will never be forgotten PRINCESS DIANA.
