Emily Blunt and Florence Pugh Turn Heads with Floating Necklines at the Academy Awards
The red carpet at the Academy Awards is known for its traditional and glamorous fashion choices, but this year, actresses Emily Blunt and Florence Pugh decided to shake things up with their bold and unconventional looks.
Emily Blunt arrived at the Oscars arm in arm with her husband, John Krasinski, wearing a stunning gown from French fashion house Schiaparelli. The dress featured floating straps that refused to touch her arms, giving the illusion that they were lifted by invisible fingers. The gown, inspired by space and astrology, was covered in nude sequins and featured a trompe l’œil outline of men’s boxer shorts around her pelvis.
Not to be outdone, Florence Pugh also made a statement with her gown from Milanese brand Del Core. The dress, reminiscent of a sea organism, had a foamy blue-gray color and a reef-like bodice with glassy embellishments that resembled water drops. Like Blunt, Pugh’s straps stood up straight, adding a touch of architectural structure to her look.
Designer Daniel Del Core, who created Pugh’s gown, expressed his fascination with architectural structures and natural forms, which were evident in the design of the dress. The unique necklines on both Blunt and Pugh’s gowns injected a sense of subversion and modernity into the traditional red carpet event.
While the floating necklines received mixed reviews on social media, there’s no denying that Blunt and Pugh’s looks stood out and added a touch of excitement to the evening. The word that comes to mind when describing their outfits is “elevating,” as they truly took red carpet fashion to new heights.
