In an interview, Marisa Tomei admitted she was just waiting for the right moment to bust out this vintage 1950s-era Charles James dress. Is there a better night to do that the Oscars?
To be honest, this black velvet dress wouldn’t have made this list were it not for Angelina Jolie’s meme-ified right leg. She was working it. Hard. Even beyond the red carpet and up to the podium. Who needs a nomination to be the talk of the night, amirite?
From afar this dress can look pretty low-key, but it is made up of 6,000 pearls and worth up to $10 million. If that’s not a winner’s gown then I don’t know what is (though, to be honest, Lupita absolutely nailed nominee dressing in her Prada gown from 2014, when she won her Oscar).
Sophia Loren is in a league of her own and, really, above rules. That being said, the attention-grabbing ruffle explosion here (not to mention that pearl choker situation!) is totally a nominee’s look.
