Jennifer Coolidge’s Golden Globes dress was still being sewn “up late” the night before the event.
The ‘White Lotus’ actress attended this year’s ceremony at The Beverly Hilton in California on Tuesday (10.01.23) wearing an off-the-shoulder dress by Dolce and Gabbana and the fashion house had a race against time to have outfit ready.
Her stylist, Gaelle Paul, told E! News that the brand’s team was “sewing late last night” to make the black gown, embellished with Swarovski crystals, shine to its fullest on the red carpet.
The 61-year-old actress chose the fashion house to pay tribute to her work on the HBO series.
Gaelle explained: “Jennifer has a great eye. Dolce really understands how to build the perfect dress for her.”
“There were a lot of Dolce and Gabbana dresses in ‘The White Lotus’. So tonight she’s wearing Dolce and Gabbana!”
While presenting the award for Best Supporting Actor in a TV Musical/Comedy or Drama, Jennifer, who mistakenly announced the “Oscar” winner, joked about her fear of shoes on excessively polished floors and her horror of being advised “wear a pair of crocs.
She joked: “And I was like, ‘What, are you kidding? In my Dolce and Gabbana dress, you know, all those crazy Italians would lose their minds!’”
Jennifer won Best Supporting Actress – Television/Movie Limited Series at the ceremony for her work on ‘The White Lotus’ and brought show creator Mike White to tears with her speech.
The ‘American Pie’ actress thanked the likes of Ryan Murphy, Reese Witherspoon and Michael Patrick King for the opportunities they’ve given her over the years before turning her attention to Mike.
She said: “I had such big dreams and expectations when I was younger, but what happened is that life took them away. I thought she was going to be queen of Monaco even if someone else did.
“And then you get older and you think, ‘Oh, what the hell is going to happen? And, Mike White, you have given me hope. You have given me a new beginning.”
