On the red carpet, Amelia Dimoldenberg wore a strapless black gown from Ralph Lauren’s fall 2007 collection. She described it to Vogue as capturing 'the Golden Age of Hollywood' and noted, 'It’s always so special wearing archive and exploring options with a history.' Miyako Bellizzi, costume designer for Marty Supreme, chose a graphic print dress from John Galliano’s spring/summer 1999 collection for Dior. Anya Taylor-Joy appeared in a black playsuit from John Galliano’s fall/winter 1994 collection at the Vanity Fair Oscars party. Best actress winner Jessie Buckley wore a custom Chanel design that paid homage to Grace Kelly’s 1956 Oscars gown. Damson Idris sported a navy Prada coat recreating a 2012 runway look originally worn by Adrien Brody. These choices highlighted A-listers' interest in archival and recreated pieces for the event.
