Final evening on the 2024 Oscars, a superb coincidence passed off: each Emily Blunt and her Oppenheimer co-star (or, ought to we are saying her “Oppenhomie?”) Florence Pugh each rolled as much as the purple carpet sporting the identical gravity-defying silhouette.

The actors wore attire with floating straps which immediately perplexed viewers and netizens alike. However we’re right here to substantiate that, certainly, the straps are supposed to float. 

Blunt’s gown, from Schiaparelli’s spring 2024 couture present, was made by the everlasting proponent the tromp l’oeil, Daniel Roseberry. For the designer, no element is ever an accident. The ground-length champagne robe was embellished with an phantasm of mens’ briefs and a structured tank strap, hovering above her physique. Whereas we aren’t precisely certain of the supplies used to make Blunt’s straps float, it’s a certain wager that the bodice was impeccably tailor-made to suit her physique because the straps levitated above her. 

Pugh additionally wore a gown with gravity-defying spaghetti straps from the Italian model Del Core’s spring 2024 assortment. The sunshine grayish-blue gown was made with a sure ethereality, from the sheer, bejeweled corset to the structured mini peplum. In contrast to Blunt’s gown although, Pugh’s straps have been strengthened by an a hidden second regular strap that held up her gown. 

Whereas we at all times say it takes three to make a development, these two appears made a splash on the purple carpet and on social media. We’ll be ready with bated breath to see if the floating strap catch on, or if it merely was an Oscars evening coincidence.
