Look Familiar? Zuhair Murad's Spring 2009 Couture Gown and Christian Dior's "Junon" gown from Fall 1949
Speaking of a Fashion Bang: As I was watching the Pre-Oscar shows last night to see what all the actresses were wearing for the Academy Awards (since of course I have to do my "homework"), an "I-Have-Seen-That-Before" image instantly came to mind. As
Miley Cyrus made her Red carpet appearance in a beaded gown by Lebanese couturier
Zuhair Murad, I could not help but think
"Oh My GAWWWD---that dress looks JUST like a very famous Christian Dior 'Junon' gown from his Fall 1949 Collection!!!!" In fact, I sprinted off my couch and instantly retrieved one of my many Haute Couture Books,
"Haute Couture: The Metropolitan Museum of Art" and went right to the page that showcased this gorgeous and iconic Dior gown. See photos above for the
Zuhair Murad gown as it was shown in Paris at his Spring 2009 Couture Collection, the original Dior "Junon" gown and Miley wearing the Murad gown at the Oscars Red Carpet. Looks kind of similar, what do you think?
Watch tonight on the
TV Guide Oscars Fashion Wrap with Lisa Rinna as I get to say a little bit of something about that...as well as a lot more...
Happy Awards Season!
Miley Cyrus in David Koma Spring 2012: Designer David Koma is relatively new to "the scene" (his website is still "under construction"), yet he has recently been making a sartorial splash with his futuristic fitted-to-an-inch-of-their-lives looks. This dress on Miley is from his most recent collection which was based "minimalist sci-fi tribal". I think it is the best she has ever looked on the Red Carpet. The look on her is modern, up-to-the-minute, and showing women all over a new take on cocktail dressing.
Love the hair swept to one side as well as the accessories. I also appreciate the original multicolored glass details in the dress as seen in the close-up photo above. Good job Miss Miley!
