At the 2018 Academy Awards, Calvin Klein created Saoirse Ronan’s pale-pink gown.
Ronan wore a custom Calvin Klein by Appointment gown at the 90th Academy Awards on March 4, 2018. The pale-pink dress had a large bow at the back, a short geometric train, and a clean strapless neckline, giving the look a deliberately modern shape.
The gown was created under the Calvin Klein label during Raf Simons’s tenure as chief creative officer. Its unusual back detail meant that the dress looked relatively simple from the front but became highly distinctive when photographed from behind.
Ronan attended as a Best Actress nominee for Lady Bird. The dress is sometimes described as a Raf Simons gown, but the fashion-house answer requested here is Calvin Klein. Simons was the label’s creative leader, while the public credit generally identifies the outfit as Calvin Klein by Appointment.
