Oscar Fashions: Maggie Gyllenhaal in Dries Van Noten
This morning I was going through a slideshow of some of the Oscar looks - there weren't that many yet as it was still night in the US - and immediately I fell in love with one unexpected colourful look. Mad props to Maggie Gyllenhaal to go for a good splash of colour amongst the blush, beige and gold which dominated the red carpet. Immediately I had to look up the designer of her dress and none other than my personal chou-chou Dries Van Noten turned out to be the creater of this delicious gown.
It is however not so surprising that Gyllenhaal would show up on the red carpet wearing a Dries piece. Not only is he her favourite designer - as her speech at the 2009 FIT Artistry of Fashion Luncheon attests -, Dries also designed the actress' wedding gown.
Do you like the unusually draped silhouette and eye-catching print of Maggie's dress? Or would you prefer to see her in a more traditional gown?
