For her first trip to the Academy Awards, Monáe arrived in an ornate Elie Saab Haute Couture gown constructed from layers of tulle, diamonds, beading, sequins and crystals making for one of the most dramatic red-carpet looks of the night. “This is her first Oscars, and she’s there for two films, so it felt like ‘go big or go home,’” Monáe’s stylist Maeve Reilly told Vogue just moments after she appeared at the ceremony. This was before we had done anything, but I knew it would be the grand finale.” The exquisite dress was finished with a Jimmy Choo clutch, Brian Attwood shoes, an Elie Saab jewelled neckpiece and Forevermark diamond pieces including a regal headband covered in colored stones. The black tulle gown was somewhat reminiscent of another classic Oscars Elie Saab dress; remember the sheer-and-floral look Halle Berry wore to take home the Oscar for Best Actress in 2002?
