6 Nicole Kidman, 1997
At first glance, there doesn’t seem to be much controversy about Nicole Kidman’s 1997 Christian Dior gown, a satin chartreuse couture design by John Galliano, who was recently appointed creative director for the design house. But for the Oscars red carpet, it was a big deal. “The dress was beautiful, but the color was reflective, and unfortunately for Nicole Kidman, this was a time when, thanks to Joan Rivers, the red carpet critic was really on the rise,” says Mulher. Rivers, who has hosted E!’s pre-awards show since the mid-’90s, called it “the most disgusting dress I’ve ever seen.”
She didn’t stop there. “She put her finger down her throat on TV, which was disgusting in itself, but what it did was scare all the actors on the red carpet, making them question their own taste and their choices.”
No one wanted to be Rivers’ next target, so the stars started relying on personal stylists to dress them. “That’s when the red carpet commercial really came to the fore,” says Mulher. “Then it turned into a boring parade of beautiful dresses that we saw from 2002 to 2010, with a few exceptions.”
