Elie Saab's Most Memorable Gowns

A little palate cleanser for those of us who still smell like turkey.

Halle Berry at the Academy Awards in 2002

UK department store Harrods is hosting an exhibition showcasing 12 of Lebanese designer Elie Saab's most memorable gowns worn by stars on the red carpet. Saab first became a household name (for the fashion-inclined) when Halle Berry wore his stunning dress to pick up her Best Actress Oscar in 2002, which put him on the map and made him the go-to choice for countless stars and starlets on the red carpet. These are the dresses in the exhibiton as worn by the women who made them famous. Which are your favorites? We'll admit, we didn't love Halle's dress immediately, but it grew on us and now we can't imagine ever not thinking so.
