12 times Scandi stars stunned at the Oscars

The Oscars are here, and we’re all for it (even if it means waking up at 02:00 to watch the show). While some tune in to see the winners, we focus on what the stars are wearing. The most hotly anticipated event in the film industry, and one of the most-watched red carpets of the year, the Academy Awards are where we’ve witnessed fashion moments forever engraved in our minds (Celine Dion’s backward Dior tuxedo from the 1999 Oscars, anyone?)

While Scandinavia may not be the most common region represented at the Oscars, our Nordic stars are sure to (and have) provided sartorial hits on the red carpet. So, as we eagerly wait for the 94th Academy Awards to commence on March 27,Vogue Scandinavia blesses you with a throwback on the best dressed Scandis at the Oscars.
