We love having the opportunity to peel back the skin and learn the real stories and meanings behind fashion looks. The women of Christopher Nolan’s latest blockbuster looked their best in the lead up to the film’s official release. Nevertheless, one fashion garment we are still not done with is Lupita Nyong’o’s Nicholas Oakwell Couture odyssey The premiere dress she wore in New York City.
But did you know that this dreamy couture design has an Old Hollywood backstory? It’s true. This dress was inspired by a character from a movie from over 60 years ago.
Lupita Nyong’o Nicholas Oakwell Couture Odyssey Premiere Dress – Inspired by Old Hollywood!
Luxury brand Nicholas Oakwell Couture provided details about Nyong’o’s red carpet dress. A design known simply as “The Collins”. Couture house reveals,
“Lupita Nyong’o dripping with gold. She is a true goddess on the Nicholas Oakwell Couture red carpet at the premiere of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. This look is from our latest collection, Goddess, and the inspiration for this look is Joan Collins in Esther and the King.
“Collins” is a study in structure and seduction. Metallic gold lace is sculpted over the built-in corset, precisely shaping the body before releasing into an elongated silhouette. Inspired by Joan Collins’ commanding presence in Esther and the King, this gown balanced strength and sensuality through disciplined structure and flowing shapes.
“Collins” explores charm through architecture. A corseted foundation anchors the silhouette, while metallic gold lace adds texture, brightness and movement. A gown created through proportion, control and quiet confidence.
“Collins” harks back to the golden age of movie spectacle. Crafted from metallic gold lace and supported by an internal corset, the silhouette flows clearly around the body before widening into a sleek, elongated skirt. A combination of precision, presence and outright charm.”
I love it! Hollywood’s Golden Age continues to have a huge influence on modern haute couture. If you’re wondering or curious about what Joan Collins wore, ester and the king. This is one of her great works in film.
