Dazzling in her sparkling trousers, the Best Costume Design winner helped The Grand Budapest Hotel take one of the leads for the most wins of the telecast, snagging Oscars for costume design, makeup and hairstyling and original score. (Talk about a stylish film!)

The Italian designer also created the costumes in the 2006 Kirsten Dunst film Marie Antoinette and the futuristic looks in the 1971 dystopian movie A Clockwork Orange. And this marked Canonero’s ninth Oscar nomination.
