HISTORY!!! #TheOscars2022 @theacademy 🖤🤍 There’s no bigger challenge than designing an outfit at the last minute for the iconic costume designer @therealruthecarter who will go down in history as the first black woman to win an Oscar for Best Costume Design! Academy Award-winning costume designer Ruth E. Carter @therealruthcarter took a brief sabbatical from her unparalleled métier to rely on this Jovana Louis @jovanalouis black and white silk taffeta custom gown to breathe life into magnificent fashion at the 2022 Oscars. This exquisite garment is inspired by a combination of fashion in the Western Central and Northern Europe from the 16th and 17th centuries and French fashion from the 1920s. The ruff in Carter’s cape is the magic wand she will use to sparkle confidence and pride as she walks down the Oscars red carpet.
