Winona Ryder Wore a $10 Dress to the Oscars

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities,

Winona Ryder once wore a $10 dress to the Oscars.

The Girl, Interrupted star is an avid bargain hunter and lover of vintage clothes, and is also not afraid to recycle outfits she has previously worn to events. "Most of my wardrobe is vintage and I've worn dresses to the Oscars that I got for $10. At Sean Penn's last Haiti gala I wore this vintage dress that I'd worn to a film premiere in 2005. I know that's kind of a no-no in the fashion world, but why wear something just once if you love it?" she told Red magazine.

The 42-year-old actress rose to fame in the mid 80s while she was still a teenager and had continuing success in her 20s, which she says made her 30s hard, as her young looks meant she didn't always get picked for the roles she wanted: "My early thirties were rough. I went through stuff that I would have gone through, and probably should have gone through much younger, but I had spent my twenties working. Even when I was the right age for older roles, people thought of me as being younger. It was tough because I'd had so much success in my early twenties."

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities,

"There were a few issues... I still love the [Alexander McQueen] dress itself but I should have worn a bra and I should have just had simple beachy hair and less makeup. Then, it would have worked as I wanted it to - a little bit of punk at the Oscars."

- Gwyneth Paltrow admits she has some regrets about the dress she wore to the Academy Awards in 2002.

Although she’s been offered valuable advice from one of the most respected names in the fashion industry, the Academy Award nominee claims she won’t be using it at the upcoming ceremony.

“Anna [Wintour] said I should wear short for the Oscars,” Mulligan said about Vogue‘s editor-in-chief. “I was like ‘No, that is so not what I had in my head when I was six years old!’”

Ignoring a suggestion from Ms. Wintour herself? Let’s hope Carey isn’t committing
