Glenn Close’s Oscars Dress Weighs 42 Pounds, And Is Covered in 4 Million Beads!
Why accessorize with bling when you can wear the bling? Clearly that’s Glenn Close’s motto.
The 71-year-old star of The Wife looked exactly like the famous Oscar statuette at this year’s Academy Awards, wearing a glittering gold Carolina Herrera gown.
The long-sleeved dress wraps into a tuxedo-like bodice and a long, sparkly cape — all made possible with a whopping 4 million beads, according to People magazine. But it comes at a price.
As the acting legend pointed out to Ryan Seacrest on the carpet, the gown weighs a hefty 42 pounds! In fact, Ryan had to call over her agent to help her down the stairs.
But that didn’t stop her from rocking out to Queen!
Hope you're extra comfy in your sweats at home right now
