Sarah Polley, whose film “Women Talking” is up for two Oscars on Sunday night, has had a complicated relationship with fame. This awards season, she’s leaning into the fun.
That was a big moment for Kirk Pickersgill, the designer of Greta Constantine.
“It was such a thrill,” says Pickersgill. “The experience brought us back to dressing her for the world premiere of ‘Take This Waltz’ in 2011 at TIFF. This particular silhouette was all about the power in subtlety — the exposed shoulder, the asymmetrical seamed detailing in the skirt, the contrast between matte and sheen. From afar, any one of these detail may be easy to miss, but upon closer inspection, there’s an undeniable elegance.
We’ve also seen some creative takes, such as Polley in a black turtleneck under a belted maxi skirt at the Costume Designers Guild Awards; a black gown with pockets — every woman’s true dress-up dream — at the Scripter Awards, which she attended with Toews, and a long grey skirt with a button down and tie to the Independent Spirit Awards. Polley remains firmly committed to flat shoes, and in many cases this season, chunky combat-style boots.
There are many ways to dress up for awards shows, from the sexy to the outlandish, from avant-garde to Old Hollywood. A red carpet, after all, is a place to draw attention to the project a creative is promoting. It can also be used by some to gain exposure, or spark a viral moment. Actresses dress up as part of the contract. Serious actresses can care deeply about fashion — see Tilda Swinton.
