Red Carpet dresses have remained memorable and iconic for many years and for many reasons. Not only are they beautiful to look at but they're also a great way to inspire women and help them see which dresses look best with their body shape.

The Oscars red carpet is a great opportunity to find a dress for yourself because of the diversity of celebrities' body types and how the find perfect dresses for their body type, while also sometimes surprising us with dresses that traditionally wouldn't match for a certain body type and yet they make it work so beautifully.

There were different style ideas for the pear body shape on the red carpet. A lot of women wore dresses that are known to be flattering for a pear body type, but some strayed away from the traditional and went for something different.

The tennis player wore a dress with a figure hugging material to flatter her curves. The dress had a lot of detail at the waist bringing attention to her athletic figure.
Lady Gaga:
Gaga broke the rules, and thankfully so. Even though, a pear body shop is usually advised to avoid dresses with a lot of details or definition near buttocks, Gaga chose a custom made Alexander McQueen gown with a dramatic waist...and it looked incredible.
Jennifer Lopez:
JLo went for a figure hugging Tom Ford dress, flattering her curves. But, even though the dress is made of embroidery, these mirror like embellishments are attention grabbing, but they don't let the eye sit on only on one area. It distracts you to see the dress a whole.

Jennifer Hudson:
Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson's Elie Saab dress, also didn't follow the hourglass body shape rules.
