Kerry Taylor, who was responsible for selling the dress at auction in 2011, told me for my book Beyond the Best Dressed that it was actually designed by famed costume designer Edith Head for the film itself and then reshaped for the Oscar ceremony

This beautiful maxi dress is perfect for summer events and just going out with friends and family

Kitten heels or black boots, for example, are great all-rounders that pair well with everything
