I‘m still obsessed with Halle‘s dress and her speech still makes me 😭 when she names the other Black actresses

[picturemegone]

Her dress is like top 5 all time Oscar looks for me.

they just put her dress on display at the Oscars museum! it really is one of the best winner dresses, and influential too. the dress gaga wore on the red carpet this year had the sheer and a low rise hem, just like halle's 2002 dress

I always wondered if they kept their dresses afterwards or if they have to return them? Why have I always assumed they keep them lol

The majority of them are borrowed.
Occasionally you hear that someone had to buy a dress because no designer would lend them one.

that speech is legendary for obvious reasons. but her naming the actresses makes me sob for sure.
