Amanda Seyfried's Oscars 2021 Dress Explained: Designer's Inspiration For the Armani Gown Revealed
Amanda Seyfried, Oscars 2021 best supporting actress nominee, looked stunning in a custom Armani Privé gown that was inspired by a striking cobalt blue pattern that debuted on the Privé Spring 2021 runway.
The dress was designed by Giorgio Armani and Elizabeth Stewart, a Hollywood stylist who has an enviable clientele including Jessica Chastain, Jessica Chastain, Gal Gadot, Viola Davis, Julia Roberts, and more.
KPVI noted that Armani took inspiration from the actress herself when designing the gown.
"I wanted to highlight Amanda's personality with this dress, which gives shape to passion. Finely-pleated, it forms into a petal shape like an upside-down flower, enhanced by a hibiscus red hue," Armani was quoted by the publication as saying.
The Mank star showed off her cleavage in the jaw-dropping red gown which is a "great contrast" to the black-and-white film "Mank."
"The style looks as though it could float away," she was quoted by KPVI.
