The actress’ dress was a direct reference to Dior’s famous Junon dress, originally created for the house’s autumn/winter 1949/50 collection. Like the recreation, the original was a strapless gown with an embellished, ivory bodice that dipped low in the back. The skirt, was the focal point, featuring layers on silk tulle petals covered in intricate beading and embroidery to create an ombré-style effect that resembled eyeless peacock feathers or large, fish-like scales. The dress was named after the Ancient Roman goddess, the wife to Jupiter, and was often seen with its equally breath-taking sister, Venus, also designed in 1949 for the same collection. Both dresses have been on display at multiple museums over the years, including as part of the Metropolitan Costume Institute’s 2016 show, "Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology.” Currently, though, they are not on display to the public.
