One way to kill the Sunday Scaries? Turn them into couture. That\u2019s what Barbie Ferreira did on the Oscars red carpet last night, when the Euphoria<\/em> actress and Gap model wore a gown inspired by the brand\u2019s oversized Oxford shirts<\/a>\u2014you know, the one we throw on with jeans and Prada loafers to look put-together on Mondays, even on four hours of sleep.<\/p>\n

Ferreira wore a GapStudio indigo dress from the label\u2019s executive vice president and creative director, Zac Posen, who paired a corseted bodice with a full skirt in moir\u00e9 taffeta, a party-ready fabric with subtle, lustrous swirls across the surface.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe gown\u2019s foundation comes directly from one of Gap\u2019s most recognizable garments: the Original Big Shirt,\u201d Posen explains. \u201cWe looked at the proportions, the attitude, and the simplicity of that shirt and reinterpreted them at a couture level\u2014taking that signature Gap blue and the language of everyday shirting and translating it for the Oscars red carpet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

In the middle of the skirt? A full button placket, just like the kind you\u2019d see on your favorite Oxford shirt. Open the buttons at the bottom and get a higher slit in your skirt; keep them all closed (like Ferreira did) and stick with the full ballgown look.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s actually functional\u2014the skirt can be unbuttoned and worn more like a robe or dramatic coat,\u201d says Posen. \u201cThose kinds of details speak to the idea that even something as formal as an Oscars gown can still carry the practicality and spirit of sportswear.\u201d<\/p>\n

The dress also ties along the waist, inspired by the way we all cinch our shirts around our jeans when the office thermostat cranks up a little too much.<\/p>\n

But even though this GapStudio dress has a modern sensibility, it\u2019s also a callback to the brand\u2019s \u201990s roots at the Oscars themselves. In 1996, Sharon Stone wore a black Gap tee<\/a> with a Valentino skirt. Two years later, in 1998, she paired a white Gap button-up shirt<\/a> with a gray satin Vera Wang skirt. (The look was later echoed by Zendaya at the 2022 Oscars; her button-up was cropped<\/a> instead of oversized.)<\/p>\n

For Posen, the throughline is obvious. \u201cWhen Sharon Stone wore a Gap shirt to the Oscars, it was about elevating the everyday into glamour\u2014showing that a simple, democratic piece could exist in the same space as couture,\u201d he says. \u201cDecades later, Barbie\u2019s look continues that conversation in a different way. It takes a Gap classic and abstracts it into something closer to art.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scroll down to see how Posen and Ferreira built the ultimate high-low Oscar look, which Ferreira says \u201cfelt like the perfect continuation of our [Gap] campaign\u2014effortless, vibrant, and a celebration of both where I\u2019ve been and where I\u2019m going.\u201d<\/p>\n
