The ballgown is dead. Long live the simple white shirt. The look that will go down in history from this year’s Oscar ceremony is a crisp white shirt. And not only because both Will Smith and Chris Rock were wearing them during that incident, but because the best dressed on the red carpet passed on the fairytale frocks and chose white shirts instead.
Zendaya, star of the six-statuette winning Dune, wore an ivory silk shirt with a deep collar and pearl-buttoned cuffs, cropped mid-ribcage above a sequined silver maxi skirt. The look was custom-made by Valentino Haute Couture for Zendaya, whose longtime stylist Law Roach has become one of Hollywood fashion’s most formidable power players, and who also dressed Venus Williams for the ceremony.
