TypeWhite satin halterneck gown

Angelina Jolie wore a white satin dress with a plunging neckline designed by Marc Bouwer at the 76th Academy Awards on February 29, 2004.[1] It has been described in subsequent years by fashion and celebrity publications as a memorable and stylish selection that was reminiscent of classical Hollywood style.[2] It was the second time that Jolie wore a Marc Bouwer dress to the Oscars. In 2000 she accepted her Oscar for Girl, Interrupted in a frock designed by Bouwer.[3]

Critical reception to the dress focused on the material and color, describing both as difficult to wear stylishly. Most critics agreed that the look was a success for Jolie, and comparisons were drawn to several classic Hollywood stars, including Rita Hayworth, Jean Harlow, and especially Marilyn Monroe.[3][4][5] The dress's minimalism and classic aesthetic has consistently been referred to as a defining moment for Jolie's style.[3][6]

Cosmopolitan magazine cited the dress as one of the Best Oscar dresses of all time, saying, "Angie's one of very few people who can rock this material and this color — both being mercilessly unforgiving. But the dress drapes on her curves and shows off her assets in all the right ways."[7]

The dress was one of twenty-five famous red carpet dresses used in a photo shoot celebrating the 25th anniversary of InStyle magazine.[8][9]
