The Oscars’ Oldest Ever Nominee Also Wears Gucci Like a Boss

French director Agnès Varda is officially the oldest nominee in Oscar history. At 89, she is up for the award for Best Documentary Feature for her film Faces Places, which follows her journey with JR, a Banksy-esque photographer whose large-scale work has mysteriously appeared all over the world, often illegally.

Last November, she became the first female director to win an honorary lifetime achievement award from the Academy. Though frankly, Varda doesn’t care much about fame, awards, or money (so much so that the effortlessly enigmatic director skipped the Oscars lunch, sending a cardboard [cut-out of herself instead]. As she said to the press earlier this week, “I went from one film to another, just trying to be an artist and I never saw my work as a career.”

On tonight’s red carpet however, the self-taught director sure looked like a Hollywood legend in a silk, rose print Gucci look, with matching dip-dyed red hair. The fashion choice makes sense considering that Kering—the luxury group that owns Gucci—hosted a fete in December to celebrate Varda’s honorary Oscar. The breezy trousers and robe were a refreshing change from the glittering gowns seen elsewhere this evening, and it’s exactly what Varda is all about. It may be a historic night for her, but she chose to eschew the glamour for a comfortable, casual look (albeit one by an Italian luxury label). Smiling and looking stylish at 89, Varda might just be the biggest (and coolest) red carpet heroine of the night.
