Emily Blunt dazzles in gown with 'floating shoulders' at 2024 Academy Awards. Emily Blunt turned heads in a gown with "floating shoulders" at the 2024 Academy Awards. Walking the red carpet at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday night, the British actress rocked an off-white sequin number by Daniel Roseberry for Schiaparelli. The dress featured straps that lifted off of Emily's shoulders - offering the illusion of floating. The 41-year-old accessorised the look with Tiffany & Co. diamond jewellery and a chic braided chignon. Regarding the dress, stylist Jessica Paster told Vanity Fair that she was excited for Emily to try a different silhouette. ”Did I know that people were going to talk about the shoulder? Absolutely," she told the outlet. ”Do I care what anybody else has to say? Absolutely not. Me? I think that people that know fashion, like fashion, like things that are interesting, were going to like it and I know the people that like some things that are very classic were not going to like it. At the end of the day, she looked absolutely beautiful. It was such a beautiful dress.” However, Jessica was a little surprised to see Emily's Oppenheimer co-star Florence Pugh wearing a silver Del Core dress with floating shoulders at the annual event too. ”I thought (Emily) was gonna be the first one to wear it... and then I saw that the beautiful Florence Pugh also had a very similar shoulder," she added. Meanwhile, other fashion trends to emerge at the Oscars included dresses in pastel shades, with Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse star Hailee Steinfeld wearing a pale blue Elie Saab gown with gold detailing, Ariana Grande in a light pink Giambattista Valli Haute Couture dress with ruched skirt, and Barbie actress America Ferrera in a custom Atelier Versace dress made from pink chainmail. Other standout looks included the tartan illusion Loewe dress sported by Andrea Riseborough, the custom black custom Schiaparelli gown with dramatic details chosen by Anatomy of a Fall's Sandra Huller,… ... the custom monochromatic Balenciaga dress worn by Maestro's Carey Mulligan, and the chic pink and black Armani Privé dress with palm tree motif selected by Zendaya.
