WHO WORE WHAT?.....89th Annual Academy Awards: Brie Larson in Custom Oscar de la Renta

 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?
