Oscar nominated actress Andra Day has arrived at the 93rd<\/sup> Academy Awards at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles in a head-turning custom gold gown by Vera Wang. The United States Vs. Billie Holida<\/em>y star looked like she was plucked directly from Marc Jacobs\u2019 Met Gala girl gang (Hello, Kate Moss and Emily Ratajkowski<\/a> in golden chainmail) in Wang’s liquid gold metal mesh cut away gown.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s cut-outs, leg, peekaboos, it\u2019s a scandal,\u201d says Andra Day\u2019s stylist, Wouri Vice, told Vogue<\/a><\/em>. The\u00a0stylist also cited Cher’s boldest Bob Mackie moments as Day’s inspiration.<\/p>\n

To complement that classic Vera Wang draping, asymmetric straps and a high slit skirt that plunges into a dramatic side train were added \u2013 as was more than $2 million dollars in diamonds.<\/p>\n

Day wore Tiffany & Co. earrings featuring two square emerald-cut Fancy Vivid yellow diamonds totalling over 12 carats. She added a Tiffany & Co. Schlumberger Cooper bracelet in platinum and 18k yellow gold with over 465 Tiffany diamonds, along with a selection of Tiffany & Co. Schlumberger \u00ae and Tiffany T rings.<\/p>\n

The United States Vs. Billie Holiday<\/em> (in cinemas globally where it is safe to attend) follows the 1940’s federal government\u2019s sustained campaign to stop the musician from performing Abel Meeropol\u2019s incendiary, anguished ballad \u201cStrange Fruit\u201d \u2013 a graphic evocation of a lynching, and an anthem for the civil rights movement.<\/p>\n

In 2017, Grammy-nominated Day recorded her own version of \u201cStrange Fruit\u201d in partnership with the Equal Justice Initiative<\/a>, a not-for-profit organisation founded by American lawyer and activist Bryan Stevenson.<\/p>\n

Tonight, Day is up for the Best Actress award.<\/p>\n

More to come.<\/p>\n
