But the adidas stan smith biggest shock that night, 20 years ago and the most memorable moment of the 73rd Academy Awards happened outside the auditorium, on the red carpet, when the Icelandic musician Björk appeared wearing a dress that resembled a swan. It was a crystal-encrusted body stocking surrounded by a puff of white tulle, with a long neck that draped around her own, the orange beak resting on her chest. Her accessories were a trail of eggs, that she "laid" as she walked down the red carpet.
But 20 years later, it doesn't seem such a dumb choice after all. Instead, Björk's dress by Macedonian designer Marjan Pejoski has gone down as one of the most iconic Oscar outfits ever, and the initial ridicule adidas nmd r1 has transformed into if not reverence then certainly fondness. Julia Roberts' vintage Valentino might have topped the best-dressed lists in 2001 but, two decades later, it's Björk's outfit that everyone remembers.
Michael Caulfield was working as a photographer for the adidas sale Associated Press at the time. A red-carpet veteran, he thought nothing could surprise him any more until Björk showed up. "When she first walked up, I didn't even have my camera up to my face because I was just taking in what she was wearing," he told BBC Culture. "My first reaction was: 'What is this?' I thought it was a political statement or she was promoting a movie. Then I picked up the camera and started shooting. After she walked away, that's all adidas swift run the photographers were talking about."
"There is this convention of female glamour and female celebrity and desire that gets played out through the red carpet and through these beautiful gowns," says Stevenson. "But Björk was literally dressed like a swan and she laid these eggs, and there was something in there about femininity and ideas of nurture, nature and fertility. I think people did not want to associate that with the red carpet."
In the decades leading up to that, there had been plenty of other memorable Oscar fashion moments: Demi Moore turning up in lace-trimmed cycling shorts in 1989; Sharon Stone wearing her husband's white Gap shirt tucked into a Vera Wang skirt in 1998; Celine Dion's back-to-front white tuxedo in 1999. And, of course, Cher's incredible Bob Mackie designs throughout the 1970s and 80s (including a 2ft-high feather headpiece in 1986, and her diamond encrusted "naked" dress in 1988).
Post Björk's appearance though, the 21st-Century Oscar red carpet provided few adidas ultra boost 20 surprises. With the pre-show becoming as important as the ceremony itself, and critics and viewers ready to rate each outfit, no one wanted to stand out for the wrong reasons. The Oscars red carpet was also morphing into a place that was as much for commerce as it was for fashion, with luxury brands paying big sums for celebrities to wear their designs. With the financial stakes so high, the red carpet was no longer a place for rebellion.
