Inverting the red carpet color palette of her Armani Privé tasseled gown, Dern wore a black column dress with a pink blazer draped over her shoulders and hoop earrings. Dern has been pictured wearing the column cut-out dress three times over the years.

The long black gown originally custom-made for the actress in 1990 was brought out again at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party in 2013 but complemented with curls, dangly earrings, and a chunky gold bracelet.

Jane Fonda looked resplendent in an Elie Saab gown she initially wore to the 2014 Cannes Film Festival. However, Jane Fonda stands against the wear-it-once attitude that came after she vowed last year never to repurchase another item of clothing.
