We can trace this back to the Oscars in 2016, right? Remember Saoirse in that green sequined dress? FIRE.
So I’m of two minds about her look at the BAFTAs. The top of the dress, the high collar, the long sleeves – this is 100% my jam. I don’t even mind the feathers. The sheer underneath the feathers, however…
I get it. It’s short. It needed something to mitigate that. And when you see the dress in motion, with her legs swirling among all that sheerness, it does look quite interesting. I just… maybe it’s my own bias against sheer. I just don’t love how it looks in stills.
