One of the more puzzling ensembles seen at the Oscars was the Oscar de la Renta brown gown with a hideous gold python shrug worn by Best Supporting Actress winner Jennifer Hudson.
The color was not flattering and the shrug simply looked ridiculous. On the E! pre-show, viewers saw Vogue’s Andre Leon Talley escorting Hudson to the atelier of Oscar de la Renta so he could design a dress for her. The sketches of the dress looked pretty cool, actually, but a designer of de la Renta’s skill should have known that it wouldn’t translate in real life to a curvy woman.
