Gene is going to the 1953 Academy Awards to support her idol Grace Kelly in her bid for best supporting actress in Mogambo.Although Gene is not one of the nominees this year, she draws rave reviews for her red carpet gown. Gene's regal belle-shaped gown, which she designed is like a multi-faceted jewel. Gene was inspired by Dior's evening fashions and her love for vintage fashion. The front ofthe gown is embellished with beads that glisten as they cascade down the bodice. The back of the gown features a sumptuous multi-tiered train which adds drama and elegance. The luxurious mink shrug jacket is the perfect compliment to the pearl color of the gown. Gene's jewelry was handcrafted specifically for this event and truly does add that crowning touch.
