Chanel designed Margot Robbie’s white gown with sculpted shoulder details for the 2018 Academy Awards.
Robbie wore the custom white Chanel haute couture gown while promoting and representing I, Tonya, for which she received a Best Actress nomination. The design used a clean white color scheme, structured shoulders and delicate embellishment, giving the look a modern yet distinctly couture finish.
The outfit is sometimes confused with Robbie’s other major awards-season appearances, including later Chanel looks and gowns by other fashion houses. Red-carpet coverage often groups all of her white formalwear together, even though the designers and events differ.
The 90th Academy Awards took place in March 2018. Robbie’s appearance was notable not only for the fashion but also because I, Tonya marked her first Academy Award nomination as an actor and producer.
