At the 2018 Academy Awards, which designer created Tiffany Haddish’s white Alexander McQueen gown?

The story behind the answer

At the 2018 Academy Awards, Tiffany Haddish wore an Alexander McQueen gown.

The white dress became one of the ceremony’s most discussed fashion moments because Haddish paired it with a black velvet cape and honored her late father’s Eritrean heritage with a traditional-inspired shawl. She also wore the same white Alexander McQueen dress to the 2018 Oscars and the premiere of Girls Trip, making it an unusually memorable example of celebrity outfit repetition.

Haddish was presenting at the ceremony after her breakthrough in Girls Trip. Her red-carpet style often combines formal designer clothing with personal cultural references, rather than treating a gown as a purely seasonal fashion statement.

The dress is sometimes described simply as a white gown, but Alexander McQueen is the fashion house associated with its design. The 2018 ceremony was the 90th Academy Awards, held on March 4, 2018, in Hollywood.
