IT was a subdued night for Oscar fashion on Sunday, but leave it to flamboyant actress Sally Kirkland to cause a stir.
She nearly got turned away from the famed Red Carpet this year because her Oscar gown was constructed of a silk-and-metal fabric that set off metal detectors at the entrance and gave security guards jitters.
“They asked me if I would remove my gown and I said I would,” she joked in a reference to her voluminous champagne J. Gerard gown that had a skirt reminiscent of a balloon window shade which she repeatedly lifted with the help of an attached cord, exposing her thighs. “Then I said please frisk me!” she said.—Reuters
