Oscars 2013

Marion Cotillard, 2008

Marion Cotillard followed Jean Paul Gaultier's lead when it came to her shimmering under-the-sea embellished gown. "Marion initially requested something simple, but I wanted everyone to see the woman I saw," the designer told InStyle. "So I showed her the sketches for this mermaid-inspired dress, and she loved it. We waited two weeks for the fabric, which was printed with fish scales and laboriously hand-embroidered. She was traveling everywhere promoting La Vie en Rose, so we had to follow her for fittings. What a mad dash! But what a moment—wonderful and graceful, just like the actress, and woman, she is."
