Moore looked radiant when she won the Academy Award for her performance in Still Alice, thanks in part to her strapless Chanel gown. The gown was made of organza and silk crepe and was adorned with 80,000 hand-painted, white sequins. The dress reportedly took a month and a half to create.

And Lagerfeld, who sketched the gown specifically for Moore, said he couldn’t be prouder of the actress. “I’m so happy Julianne won the Oscar for her great talent. I’ve known her for years, and was always her greatest fan – as an actress and also a woman,” Lagerfeld said.

After winning her award, Moore took photos with her Crazy Stupid Love co-star Emma Stone backstage, comparing her real Oscar with Stone’s Lego one.
