10 Dresses You'll Never Forget, Hal RubensteinGetty Images (3); BEImages

With thousands of dresses hitting the red carpet every year, we have to wonder: What makes a dress unforgettable? To get the answer, we turned to Hal Rubenstein, InStyle Fashion Director and author of the new book 100 Unforgettable Dresses, out today ($35 at amazon.com). “An unforgettable dress isn’t merely beautiful,” he says. “It’s about the right dress on the right woman at the right time. Ultimately, it alters how others dress the morning after, how we see pop culture, and how we see ourselves.” See 10 of his most memorable looks in recent history in the gallery, from Jennifer Lopez’s plunge dress to Elizabeth Hurley’s safety-pin look. For more, pick up his new book, available in stores now.

Sorry….. No mention of Halle Barry’s Gown at the Oscars. I never saw a more Beautiful Woman in a Gown that has never been topped.

No, no, no. The dress Marylin Monroe wore over the subway exhaust is greater than most of these.

I like, in order from best to least:
1.Gwyneth Paltrow
2.Jennifer Lopez
3.Uma Thurman
4.Rene Zellwegger
5.Charlize
All others are either ill-fitting (Nicole, Kate Moss and Middleton ) or dated (Elizabeth, Diana). My faves are Gwyneth’s and JLo’s. Gwyneth’s is stunning, she looks like royalty. JLo is hot, you can’t help but think, “when is that going to pop open,” but she looks totally comfortable. That’s my two cents.

P.S.
Never knew Prada used to be only knapsacks and quilted bags!
