Uma Thurman in Lavender Prada, 1995

Uma Thurman on the red carpet at the 67th Academy Awards in March 1995, nominated for Best Supporting Actress for Pulp Fiction. The pale lavender chiffon slip, with a scattering of beads at the hem and a sheer wrap, came from Prada, designed by Barbara Tfank while she was consulting for the house. Its plain, almost weightless line looked startlingly modern next to the heavier gowns of the era, and it is often credited with raising Prada's profile in Hollywood.
