Audrey Hepburn
She was nominated four times, but only once, in 1954, did Audrey win the Oscar for Best Actress for her role in Roman Holiday. The star wore a white floral Givenchy dress for the occasion, which has become one of the most memorable dresses of the 20th century.
Helen Mirren
Helen's portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in 2006's The Queen won her the Best Actress award. The star, now 77, thanked the late Queen in her speech, saying, 'I salute her courage and her consistency, and I thank her, because if it wasn't for her, I most, most certainly would not be here."
Hilary Swank
The actor, who received the award for Best Actress for playing a female boxer in Million Dollar Baby, looked sensational in a backless navy blue Guy Laroche gown, which she wore to the 2005 Academy Awards ceremony.
Halle Berry
Film history was made when Halle, then 35, became the first Black woman to win the Oscar for Best Actress in 2002 for Monster's Ball. She told the audience, 'This moment is so much bigger than me. It's for every nameless, faceless woman of colour that now has a chance because this door tonight has been opened.
Greyneth Paltrow
The pink Ralph Lauren dress she wore to the Oscars in 1999 will sit firmly in the best-ever dresses list, but it was Gwyneth's emotional acceptance speech for her win for Best Actress for Shakespeare in Love that puts the Goop founder in the history books.

How Healthy is Your Gut? - This month, our fitness expert Annie Deadman on discovering what's really going on inside your body and how to keep it in the peak of condition
The microbiome will be host to both good and harmful bacteria, and the swing in favour of one or the other can influence whether or not you fall victim to conditions such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, coeliac disease and other inflammatory disorders or hormonal issues. These include polycystic ovary syndrome and high cholesterol, as well as what we might consider more common ailments like digestive issues, mood swings, constipation, migraines and general lethargy.

Cancer Was Just a Job Until it Happened to Me - Author, speaker and health content creator Dr Liz O'Riordan shares her journey from consultant breast surgeon to cancer patient
Working as a consultant breast surgeon, it was my responsibility to tell around 10 women a week that they had cancer.
