With news of Francisco Costa’s departure from Calvin Klein Collection, let’s take a look back at his amazing red-carpet moments. Who could forget a young Jennifer Lawrence, before her Dior commitment, showing up at the Oscars in a clingy red gown? Or when Lupita Nyong’o decided upon a dramatic pearl-encrusted gown that was the victim of a botched heist?

Whether the look was sleek and body conscious like Laverne Cox’s Emmy number, or sparkly and dramatic like Brie Larson’s golden halter at the Golden Globes, Costa’s women knew how to make an entrance. Click ahead to take a look back at some of his best red-carpet moments.

Laverne Cox, Emmy Awards 2015 The Emmy's have a bad rap for unmemorable fashion, but Laverne Cox was among the best of the bunch in this clingy blue dress. She followed up with an equally sleek white dress by the designer for the after-parties. Photo: Amy Graves/2015 Amy Graves

Rose Byrne, Met Gala 2015 There were plenty of questionable interpretations of last year's Met Gala theme. Rose Byrne's red, laser-cut dress was not one of them. Sure, it wasn't 100% in sync with the China: Through the Looking Glass dress code, but it wasn't too far off, either. Photo: Dimitrios Kambouris/2015 Getty Images
Lorde, Met Gala 2015 Meanwhile Lorde opted for classic Costa — clingy, sparkly, and tastefully sexy. Photo: Taylor Hill/2015 Taylor Hill

Lara Stone, Cannes Film Festival 2014 When you're a model, you look amazing in pretty much anything, but Lara Stone was especially remarkable when she showed up to the Cannes Film Festival in a neon-pink creation. It was an especially nice palate cleanser compared to all of the other over-the-top princess gowns. Photo: Jean Catuffe/2014 Jean Catuffe
