In the mid of all this, what remains constant\u00a0is the sartorial\u00a0beauty of Haute Couture. Hand-sewn with painstaking\u00a0attention to detail, from start to finish, couture works\u00a0are laborious, yet gloriously exquisite.<\/p> <p>One of the early instances of Haute Couture on the red carpet is Nicole Kidman and her chartreuse\u00a0Christian Dior gown at the 1997 Oscars ceremony. The Australian actress heralded the trend\u00a0for A-listers to wear haute couture gowns on prestigious entertainment events.<\/p> <p>More recently,\u00a0it was love at first sight between\u00a0<strong>Cate Blanchett <\/strong>and the\u00a0<strong>Giles<\/strong> gown she wore to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/fashion\/best-dressed-fashion\/cannes-2015-day-5-6-best-red-carpet-dresses-97024.html#post-97024\">the Cannes Film Festival<\/a> . The actress had initially planned to wear Armani, but the hypnotizing\u00a0prints, merry ruches, and the\u00a0gown's splendour in general were enough to captivate Blanchett and change her mind.<\/p> <p>Meanwhile,\u00a0<strong>Rihanna<\/strong> couldn't have chosen a better event than this year's Met Gala, themed \"China: Through the Looking Glass\",\u00a0to wear the 25-kg golden cape by Chinese couturier\u00a0<strong>Guo Pei.<\/strong>\u00a0Just like Blanchett, Rihanna fell in love with the majesty of the dress the first time she laid eyes on it... through the computer screen!<\/p> <p>If you haven't already,\u00a0give our gallery a quick peek to see the\u00a0four lavish\u00a0dresses and their significance in Haute Couture's defining moments.<\/p>  <p><em>Natasha Gan<\/em><\/p>
