1969 - Fanny Nice: Thirty-five years before Janet Jackson busted out of her bustier, Barbra Streisand had Oscar audiences doing double-takes at
her black sheer paillettes-covered, Peter Pan-collared, bow-topped Scaasi
pantsuit. The diva, who won the 1969 Best Actress prize for her
... more portrayal of
Fanny Brice in "Funny Girl" (she tied with Katharine Hepburn for "The Lion in Winter"), had a moniker-appropriate moment when
she tripped on her ginormous bell-bottoms as she made her way to the podium. She
recovered quickly, basking in her win and purring, "Hello, gorgeous." Scaasi
denied that Babs' PJ-like tulle and chiffon outfit was see-through, insisting it
was lined with skin-toned crepe to give the illusion of nakedness, which somehow
seems much, much worse. Last year, Streisand auctioned off her famous suit for
charity, selling it on eBay for $11,358.24.
