The red carpet always brings out the hottest designer gowns and sometimes even the dowdiest “what the f” looks, but no matter what, every year we see red on the red carpet and usually it’s very glamorous. Heidi Klum looks like a million in this gorgeous red gown by John Galliano, she wore for the Oscars in 2008.

Nicole Kidman is as glamorous as ever in all red

Katherine Heigl is red hot in Escada

Anne Hathaway in Marchesa red

Sarah Jessica Parker, not at the Oscars but a red carpet of some kind wearing what looks like an Irish plaid tablecloth, maybe the red carpet was stained with dog pee as well? This is a what the hell was she thinking? moment.

Nicole, always the picture of Hollywood glamour

Ruby Dee in red, but very age appropriate and quite hot

The Oscar red of 2008
