InStyle's editorial guidelines Updated on December 9, 2015 Pin Share Tweet Email Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images All year we have been continually impressed by stars and their love of fashion, whether it's Rihanna and her pink Giambattista Valli Haute Couture confection at the Grammys or Lupita Nyong'o in a pearl-embellished Calvin Klein Collection halter dress that later got stolen (yes, stolen!) at the Academy Awards. In short, the A-list brought their A-game in 2015. We scoured red carpet after red carpet, and came up with the 10 biggest and best award show fashion moments, ahead (in no particular order). Don't be surprised if you see some repeat starlets on this list—these women know the power of consistency. The 3 Sexiest Fashion Trends from the 2015 American Music Awards 01 of 10 Taraji P.

Rodriguez/Getty Images We bet Moore's flapper-esque Givenchy Haute Couture gown made a bevy of other A-listers green with envy at the SAGs. 05 of 10 Emma Stone in Dior Couture Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP Stone covered up and left things to the imagination—somewhat—in a Dior Couture smoking jacket and sheer underlay at the SAG Awards. 06 of 10 Lupita Nyong'o in Calvin Klein Collection Kevin Mazur/WireImage With thousands of tiny pearls and a fit that was divine, it's no surprise that Nyong'o's Calvin Klein Collection halter dress for the Oscars was later stolen (and returned). 07 of 10 Marion Cotillard in Dior Haute Couture Steve Granitz/WireImage Though classic looking in the front, the major surprise of Cotillard's white Dior Haute Couture gown at the Oscars was its gathered Watteau dropped back. Talk about bait and switch. 08 of 10 Rihanna in Giambattista Valli Haute Couture VALERIE MACON/AFP/Getty Images In totally unexpected move, Rihanna resembled a sweet cupcake in a pink tulle confection on Grammys night. 09 of 10 Julianne Moore John Shearer/Invision/AP Julianne Moore in Givenchy Haute Couture with Chopard jewelry. 10 of 10 Nicki Minaj in Tom Ford Jason Merritt/Getty Images Minaj looked provocative and polished in a sleek black fringed gown at the Grammys.
