The thirst for events has turned into an amazing chain of red carpet looks and renewed hopes for a return to normal.
The 93rd Academy Awards took place on April 25th in Los Angeles hosted by the Dolby Theater. Due to the coronavirus restrictions — in London and Paris as well. The main part, which is the awarding ceremony, took place in the walls of the Union Station Los Angeles.
The burst of colors and the gradients of gold at the ceremony made us want to ask the organizers to add another nomination — “Best outfit of the ceremony.”
Zendaya and Carey Mulligan in Valentino Haute Couture
Zendaya’s and Carey Mulligan’s looks caught the eyes of all the photographers. Zendaya’s fluorescent yellow chiffon dress «Force de beauté» with an elegant chest cut, and Carey’s fully sequin embroidered dress shimmering under the flashes, both from Valentino Haute Couture, led the ratings of the most beautiful ceremony gowns. 300 and 350 hours of handiwork respectively was spent to create these masterpieces. Bravo, Pierpaolo Piccioli, bravo!

But her outfit definitely caught the eye.
