We're Reliving Michelle William's Iconic Oscars Look, Thanks to Greta Gerwig
Greta Gerwig just stepped out on the red carpet at the 2018 Academy Awards looking like a dream. In a floor-length yellow gown, the actress stood out in the bright colour. With the colour perfectly complimenting her light hair and red lip, Gerwig looked stunning… And also reminded us of one of our favourite past Oscar looks.
While this yellow gown was a new look for Gerwig, her outfit reminded us of Michelle Williams circa 2006. At the 78th annual Academy Awards, Williams turned heads in a canary yellow Vera Wang dress with a nipped-in waist, much like Gerwig’s look.
Not only did Gerwig’s dress call to mind William’s outfit from over ten years ago, but even her accessorising seemed similar. Like Williams, Gerwig paired the yellow gown with a sparkly necklace hitting right at the collar bone.
Furthermore, the bright red lip and blonde side-swept bangs were enough to convince us that William’s look might have played a role in inspiring Gerwig’s outfit. Even though they’re more than ten years apart, this unique red carpet look feels fresh either way. We’re so happy Gerwig reminded us of (and recreated) this amazing outfit.
