OverDressed for Life

In 1990 Jeremy Irons won an Oscar for Best Actor, Reversal of Fortune.

I can make up excuses for why I wore sneakers to the Oscars. They weren’t actually trainers; they were a little smarter than deck shoes and had a thin sole. They were black and white, which is what I was wearing on the rest of my body. There’s a nice feeling of keeping your feet on the ground when wearing shoes with no heel, which maybe is an important thing to do on Oscar night.

– Jeremy Irons, British actor.

The 89th Academy Awards is coming up on Sunday, February 26th.
