We have to include the most iconic green dress of all time — Jennifer Lopez's famous Versace Grammys gown. The superstar rocked the then-controversial dress at the 2000 Grammy Awards where it inspired headlines thanks to its plunging design and sheer leaf-patterned fabric.
We'll never forget Sarah Paulson's 2016 Primetime Emmys gown! The stunning sequined Prada number featured three-quarter-length sleeves, a plunging neckline and beautiful metallic embellishments all over that all together made a serious red carpet fashion statement.
This romantic green Gucci gown that Elle Fanning wore to the "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil" premiere in Los Angeles in 2019 remains one of our favorite dresses in the hue. From the spaghetti straps and dramatic sleeves to the floral embellishments and tiny train detail, we loved everything about this glamorous and romantic look.
Selena Gomez had a serious lime green moment at the 2019 American Music Awards. The star donned this sweet strapless minidress by Versace that featured a ruffled detail down the left side and paired perfectly with her matching pointy-toe pumps in the same bold shade.

At the 2015 Academy Awards, Emma Stone sported an embellished gown in a shade — chartreuse — that we don't often see, and it remains our favorite look ever from the star. The Elie Saab stunner included long sleeves and a thigh-high slit that showed off her matching peep-toe heels.
Julianne Moore sported this show-stopping off-the-shoulder Dior number during the 2019 Cannes Film Festival. The gorgeous emerald green gown's fitted silhouette included a sleeve detail that draped down to the floor, making a serious impact on the red carpet.
