A Celebration of Vintage Oscar Jewelry & Fashions was an event curated by André Leon Talley to showcase about forty gowns worn by actresses at past Academy Award Presentations. Some of the dresses were modeled, like the Bob Mackie gown in this photo, but others were fragile and had to be displayed on mannequins. The gowns were paired with contemporary jewelry, which is visible in the photos you'll see in this gallery -- take a minute to click through to the "view full-size image" link if you would like a closer look. How do you think vintage styles will compare to ensembles that we'll see at this year's Academy Awards?
