All Lebanese Designers at the top of Oscars 2014
Angelina Jolie in Elie Saab: As the Syrian refugees’ most esteemed spokesperson graced the stage to announce the winner of “Best Director”, we couldn’t help but be distracted by the shimmer of her soft Elie Saab number. Seems her recent trip to the Levant has given Angie a penchant for Middle Eastern fashion!
Jenna Dewan-Tatum in Reem Acra: The "Step Up" actress looked absolutely breathtaking in her choice of Reem Acra frock this year. The cream diamante feather gown showed off Jenna’s perfect post-baby body. With her looking so gorgeous, we’re sure Channing Tatum was a proud husband on the red carpet!
Kristen Stewart in Reem Acra, 2013: When you think Kristen Stewart, high fashion may not come to mind but Reem Acra transformed this rock chick into a couture Queen with her creamy creation, which was an angelic gown with flurries of tulle that peeked out from the intricate embroidery and embellishment of the dress.
Catherine Zeta Jones in Muhair Zurad, 2013: Exquisite golden goddess is all we can say for how Catherine Zeta Jones pulled off a Zuhair Murad design at last year’s event. The quintessence of elegance, Mrs. Michael Douglas knew where to acquire the most graceful A-list attire – Lebanon!
Sandra Bullock in Elie Saab, 2013: Although Sandra Bullock went for a stunning navy Alexander McQueen dress this year, Elie Saab was her ultimate pick in last year’s Oscars, where she dazzled in a fully-embroidered cap-sleeve gown with lace panel details.
Cristin Milioti in Reem Acra: "The Wolf of Wall Street" channeled pale and interesting on the red carpet at the Oscars, pairing a romantic, grecian strapless Reem Acra creation with a bold dark lip. Known for her work on Broadway and on "How I Met Your Mother", her gorgeous dress at the Oscars is sure to get her noticed!
Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski in Rani Zakhem: Channeling the snow of Sochi with their bright white outfit choices, Olympians Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski opted for a billowing embroidered gown by Rani Zakhem, which started with a strapless bodice and fell down into a flowing tail, and a a shiny white custom vintage suit made entirely of leather
Sarah Paulson in Elie Saab: The "12 Years a Slave" actress Sarah Paulson looked stunning at the Oscars in a conservative but eye-catching Elie Saab gown. You may know her from her role in HBO’s Game Change or the cult hit American Horror Story, but after last night she can now proudly say she’s been a part of a Best Picture.
Bette Midler in Reem Acra: Multi Grammy award-winning actress/comedian Bette Midler graced the red carpet in a festive red and white gown by Lebanese favorite Reem Acra. Midler shined onstage as she performed “Wind Beneath my Wings” as a tribute to those who died this past year.
Elsa Pataky in Elie Saab: Holy baby bump! Pixie-cut cutie Elsa Pataky is pregnant with twins and looked glowing on the red carpet – thanks to Elie Saab, who made her look just as fabulous and non-preg as her fellow Hollywood leading ladies! The delicate sparkling green dress meant all eyes were on the bump
