Billie Eilish’s MetGala gown was an ode to Marilyn Monroe
—floated onto the red carpet in a frothy black gown by Oscar de la Renta, inspired by the tulle dress Monroe wore to attend the Oscars in 1951. The theme of this year’s ball is “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,” so Eilish turned to one of the biggest names in U.S. fashion to craft her ode to a woman as ingrained in American culture as stars and stripes.Marilyn Monroe attended the Oscars only once, in 1951.
Several months and toile fittings later, Eilish had her finished red-carpet look: a sustainable ombré gown that’s featherlight despite being dramatically voluminous. “I find it shocking that wearing fur isn’t completely outlawed at this point in 2021,” Eilish said.
While Monroe remains a silver-screen legend almost 60 years after her death, she attended the Academy Awards only once, presenting the statuette for best sound recording to’s Thomas T. Moulton. For the occasion, the quintessential all-American girl borrowed an off-the-shoulder black gown by fabled costumer Charles LeMaire from the wardrobe department at 20th Century Fox.
. “Just like LeMaire, designer Edith Head had such a meticulous approach to her beautiful work, and that’s especially clear in the pieces she created for Hitchcock’s,” Giannini says. Garcia and Kim were tasked with reimagining the strapless white gown Kelly wore in the 1955 thriller—but in a head-turning shade of deepest red. Just as breathtaking? Eilish’s vintage ’30s Cartier bracelets, which once belonged to gold-rush heiress Evalyn Walsh McLean, the one-time owner of the Hope Diamond.
