This Sunday will mark the immortalization of another Academy Awards gown, but until that day comes people will be able to appreciate past designs thanks to the chart aptly titled Oscar Dresses by Mediarun, an SEO agency based in the United Kingdom. Considering that a slew of designer gowns will be taking over the Internet in a few short days, it is only natural that the studio would release such an illustration.

From Janet Gaynor's off-the-rack number in 1929 to Jennifer Lawrence's [Christian Dior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shirt-dress-collection) creation, Oscar Dresses by Mediarun is comprised of every dress worn to the biggest celebrity event by actresses accepting the Oscar for Best Actress. It even mentions those who were not in attendance.
