Photos show how Jamie Lee Curtis' Oscars style has changed over the years
Amanda Krause
- Jamie Lee Curtis first attended the Academy Awards in 1974.
- Since then, she's made numerous fashionable appearances at the Oscars.
For her first Academy Awards in 1974, Jamie Lee Curtis wore a red midi dress and matching scarf.
Her strapless dress tied into a small bow at its neckline, and her scarf was so long that it practically extended into a sleeve across one arm.
She paired the red outfit with statement gold jewelry, a black clutch, and a wavy bob hairstyle.
Nearly a decade later, she returned to the Oscars in 1983 with a completely new look.
The biggest difference was Curtis' hair. She'd transformed her short brown waves into a dark, voluminous pixie cut with bangs.
But she also chose a more subdued outfit: a white, iridescent dress by Jean Louis with short sleeves and a fitted waist, paired with minimal jewelry and glowing makeup.
Curtis experimented with a more traditional gown in 1995.
She stepped onto the red carpet in a cream-colored gown with a sleeveless, beaded top and a satin skirt that wrapped in the back.
To add a pop of color, Curtis also wore blue, flower-shaped earrings crafted from beads.
In 2004, she wore a vibrant gown reminiscent of an ocean wave.
Her strapless dress had a sweetheart neckline, ruched bodice, and a floor-length, flowing skirt — all in varying shades of blue.
For jewelry, Curtis chose a diamond, floral-shaped necklace.
Almost 20 years had passed before Curtis attended another Oscars ceremony.
When she did, Curtis sparkled on the 2022 red carpet. She wore a deep-blue, chainmail-style gown by Stella McCartney, with a high neckline, long sleeves, and a cinched waist.
The actor also wore a ribbon tied on her finger as a ring to show her support for Ukrainian refugees.
Ahead of this year's event, Curtis attended the annual Oscars nominees luncheon in a classic pantsuit.
Her baby-blue pantsuit looked elegant, especially when paired with a pearl necklace, matching earrings, and see-through sandals.
On Instagram, Curtis revealed that her necklace previously belonged to her godparents.
Then for the big event, the "Everything Everywhere All at Once" actor chose a tan, corseted gown.
Designed by Dolce & Gabbana, her dress was covered in crystals from top to bottom. It also had corset detailing at the waist, making Curtis one of many stars to wear the daring trend on the red carpet.
On Instagram, Curtis said she was "dressed like a glass of pink champagne and sparkling apple cider" to match the new, champagne-colored carpet.
The dress is especially significant now that Curtis has won her first Oscar while wearing it.
Ahead of the ceremony, Curtis thanked the Dolce & Gabbana team who created it by sharing a photo of 16 people who worked on it.
"Remember when you are watching tonight the thousands of artists and seamstresses and tailors and designers and craftspeople who create the beautiful outfits and garments that we all wear," Curtis wrote in her post. "This is part of the @dolcegabbana Italian team who made my beautiful dress, which you will see you in a couple hours. Grazie. MILLE GRAZIE!"
