Nominee Margot Robbie chose a vintage gown for the 2020 Academy Awards in the form of this Chanel design from the house's spring/summer 1994 couture collection. It is not the first time the actress has championed vintage Chanel, she wore a glitzy ensemble during the Cannes Film Festival last year from the house's spring/summer 2011 collection.

Reality star (and vintage obsessive) Kim Kardashian West outdid herself with her archive gown at the Vanity Fair after-party, wearing the Oyster gown from Alexander McQueen's spring/summer 2003 collection, of which only two exist (and the other is sitting in the Metropolitan Museum of Art). A Christmas gift from her husband Kanye West, the gown was a perfect choice for the big night.

You might remember costume designer Sandy Powell making headlines with her ensemble at last week's Baftas, where she asked numerous A-listers to sign her white suit (which will be auctioned to raise money for a great cause). Powell chose to wear it again to the Academy Awards last night, where she no doubt picked up even more signatures.
