Dressing for the Oscars has endured an evolution. Nowadays it is not about looking fabulous but also delivering a strong message as in Natalie Portman’s case when wearing a Dior Haute Couture dress designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri making not only a fashion statement but also raising her voice for Feminism, empowering women all over the world with the embroidered names of snubbed female directors, a clear statement where fashion and feminism share common principles. That is the purpose of the new Oscars red Carpet.
