Faye Dunaway Repeats Her Lucky Dress At The 2018 Oscars

When life gives you a second chance, why not lean on what worked the first time? That's exactly what Faye Dunaway did during the 2018 Academy Awards. After her infamous 2017 gaffe with Warren Beatty, where they mistakenly announced "La La Land" as the Best Picture winner instead of "Moonlight," Faye decided to play it safe. She strutted down the red carpet in the same Esteban Cortazar double-breasted tuxedo dress that made headlines last year. And let's face it, if it worked once, why not give it another shot? Take a closer look at her bold fashion choice below!

Now, some might call it recycling, but Faye Dunaway sees it as a nod to her personal style and loyalty to young designers. Her celebrity stylist, Elizabeth Stewart, gave us the inside scoop on Instagram back in 2017, saying, "Faye Dunaway really gets fashion! She loves and understands young designers like @ECortazar, who made this for her based on a look from his upcoming show." And honestly, can we blame her? The dress fits her like a glove, making her look as sharp as ever. Fashion is all about confidence, and Faye exudes it in spades.

Let’s rewind to the 2017 Oscars. Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were handed the wrong envelope for the Best Picture announcement. Warren, clutching the envelope for Actress in a Leading Role, which read "Emma Stone, 'La La Land,'" passed it to Faye. In a split-second decision, she read the incorrect winner aloud, leading to one of the most awkward moments in Academy Award history. But hey, mistakes happen, right? The show went on, and the real winner, "Moonlight," eventually got its due.

A Smooth Redemption

This year, Faye and Warren were given the chance to right their wrongs. The duo returned to announce Best Picture once again, and they nailed it. Warren quipped as he took the stage, "It's so nice seeing you again," while Faye added with a smile, "Presenting is lovelier the second time around." And this time, they got it right the first time. "The Shape of Water" took home the gold, leaving other contenders like "Call Me By Your Name," "Dunkirk," and "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" in its wake. No do-overs needed this time around!
