Lily Gladstone is representing her Native American heritage through her 2024 Oscars gown.
Gladstone, 37, graced the red carpet at the Academy Awards on Sunday, March 10, in a blue velvet strapless gown designed by Gucci and Indigenous artist Joe Big Mountain. The gown featured a long train with a floral embroidered design.
The Killers of the Flower Moon actress wore her hair down in soft waves and accessorized with a blue and purple necklace and earrings.
“I can literally feel the love poured into each quill and bead—the dress is alive with it,” Gladstone told Vogue of the design in an interview published on March 10. “The effortless integration of pinnacle luxury [from] both Iron Horse and Gucci was my dream from day one. It’s so brilliant, I cried.”
She is nominated for Best Actress for her role in Killers of the Flower Moon alongside four other actresses. They include Emma Stone for her role in Poor Things, Annette Bening for her work in Nyad, Carey Mulligan for her portrayal of Felicia Montealegre in Maestro and Sandra Hüller for her role in Anatomy of a Fall.
