Jenny Beavan is a renowned Hollywood costume designer whose work on films like The King’s Speech, Sense and Sensibility and A Room With A View among others has garnered her two Academy Awards.
She won her second Oscar last night for her work on the big winner of the night, Mad Max:Fury Road, and some people reacted very oddly as she headed to the stage to accept her award.
Beavan wasn’t wearing a gown, instead choosing to sport a leather jacket and trousers and it looks like some people just COULD NOT handle it. Bless them.
According to The Wrap, her explanation was pretty great:
“I really don’t do frocks, and I absolutely don’t do heels. I simply can’t wear them. I’ve got a bad back,” she told the media in the backstage press room at the Oscars. “I look ridiculous in a beautiful gown, and this was an homage to ‘Mad Max.’”
Here she is with fellow Goddess, Cate Blanchett in the press room after the ceremony.
