Hugh Grant drew both applause and criticism on the (sorry, champagne-colored) Oscars red carpet. I am more than this. Model Ashley Graham, one of those who presided over the live interviews of the ceremony before the Academy Awards, had to face the slime and monosyllabic lead of Four Weddings and a Funeral.
The question is whether it was Graham who did not know how to adapt to the British actor’s hermetic sense of humor, if he did not know how to put himself in his place, or both. When asked where the cause arose, Concede replied with some contempt that he could not remember the tailor’s name. That’s why it’s set in the example of a star who doesn’t give his name aside from Hollywood parties: who dresses you, who does your hair, who does your makeup, what you’re having for breakfast this morning. . Also, who will pay you. If he had contracted a relationship with Ralph Lauren, Hugh Grant, they would have given that name to Graham, who was otherwise doing his job.
The red dress is a convention and its rules are clear. No one forces you to walk through, no one will welcome you home if you don’t decide to go for it. Unless one of the biggest revenue has a deal with, for example, Armani, and asks to wear clothes, why lend it to you and pay you for it. Cate Blanchett had a very close relationship with the great Giorgio. I use the past tense in this sentence because, in order not to win the Oscar Tár, the Australian chose a Vuitton dress. Michelle Yeoh, the winner of the final award, was also overwhelmed by the choice of a more expensive dress, since her presence at Armani events (including one organized in honor) was highly publicized.
Both Dior and Louis Vuitton are owned by the powerful LVMH conglomerate. His emissaries in Hollywood these months seem to have done a good job: the two faces most connected to his direct competition were in the biggest night of the year for the film industry.
One of them is also a big player for the Chinese market, a fundamental customer of European luxury, and still in the process of reactivation post-covid.
Hugh Grant knows this very well, but I believe he likes to look over his shoulder. Ashley Graham preferred not to be conformist and, when it comes to designs and brands, she behaved well. We have all discovered, thanks to her careful Instagram, what Alberta Ferretti wears. And here I write, that the mission may be fulfilled. And of course Hugh Grant knows the name of his tailor. Put everything down.
