On a night dominated by impressive vintage, KimKardashian pulled out the ultimate old school runway look: Alexander McQueen's Oyster dress.
One of the most exciting trends to emerge at the 2020 Academy Awards was the widespread use of vintage fashion. Stars including Rooney Mara and Margot Robbie looked to the past when choosing their gowns, making for one of the most exciting red carpets in years. That sensibility carried through to the night’s after-parties, with many of the best-dressed celebrities revisiting archival collections.
One of the standouts of McQueen’s “Irere” collection, the dress distills the show’s central ideas into fabric. Transformation was the season’s principal theme; but not the fairy tale kind. Everything from the John Maybury film of a drowning girl that played during its opening, to the Roland Joffe period drama,, which served as its inspiration, spoke to the danger of change.
For Watnick, who lovingly preserved the gown for 17 years, its red carpet debut was worth the wait. Though other parties had expressed interest in the piece, West’s vision made him the ideal buyer. "Kanye is always looking for a relationship with fashion, art and culture that embraces and transcends life—a vison," she says, citing West'sas an example.
En route to the VF party, Kardashian West had to lay down on the floor of the car in order to preserve the pristine gown, but she made the night's biggest entrance, flanked by West and sister Kylie Jenner, radiating glamour. Post-party, she couldn't resist uploading a few snapshots to Instagram, commemorating a major style moment and offering a take on the McQueen editorial perfect for the social media generation.
