Oscar fashion is always as much a hit as the awards themselves, and this year, the dress most people were talking about online was a recycled one.
Legendary actress Rita Moreno, 86, dubbed an EGOT because she's won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony, wore the same black-and-gold gown to Sunday's 90th Annual Academy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles that she wore back in 1962.
That was the year she won Best Supporting Actress for her role in "West Side Story." The dress, and the actress, looked like a golden winner each time. She made a few changes though, making it strapless and wearing it with gloves.
In a report , Rita said during the red carpet: "This is the gown I wore in 1962 when I won my Oscar. This was made in the Philippines.”
According to a report from the Philippine Star in 2013, the Puerto Rican actress mentioned that it was the late fashion designer Pitoy Moreno who made her gown.
The actress is set to be one of the presenters for the program.
While no one else showcased a 50-plus-year-old outfit like Moreno, there were other notable fashion favorites.
Olympian Adam Rippon was a little tied up.
Nicole Kidman won a blue ribbon for her gown with some viewers, but not with others.
And Lupita Nyong'o made fashion headlines in two realms. First, for tweeting that her striking gown was Vibranium by Versace, and then, for simply donning a fab pair of glasses.
