Brie Larson in Custom Oscar de la Renta
Brie Larson attended last night's 2017 Academy Awards in this dramatic black gown from Oscar de la Renta. The custom-made dress was designed by Oscar de la Renta's new design duo Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia and featured a sculpted silhouette, cinched waist and ruffled volants trailing into a hem. She reminded me of a modern "Madame X" from the famous John Singer Sargent painting:
French socialite Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau in John Singer Sargent "Portrait of Madame X"
Pointed: The neckline was directly inspired from one of the runway looks (the pointed bustline jumpsuit in the right photo above) from the latest Oscar de la Renta Fall 2017 collection.
I liked the drama and severe elegance of this gown! What did you guys think?
