A Look Back at Glamorous Vintage Award Ceremonies

Only Melanie Griffith could pair a pale green cast with couture and still own the evening. At the 2003 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, she arrived glowing in a sheer, seafoam Atelier Versace gown embroidered with intricate crystal swirls.

The dress hugged her figure with liquid elegance, its slit revealing not a stiletto—but a medical boot swathed in a bright plaster cast. With a cane in one hand and a matching clutch in the other, Griffith made limping look like a power move. Injured or not, she radiated joy, proving that style is attitude, not just accessories.
