#Oscars https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> nominee @emeraldfennell, director of #PromisingYoungWoman, is ready for spring in bright florals.

Her outfit might& #39;ve taken inspiration directly from ancient Roman frescoes! These garden frescoes hail from Pompeii& #39;s House of the Golden Bracelet.
#Oscars https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> nominee Glenn Close& #39;s cobalt outfit is reminiscent of "cage cup" from Montenegro.

This late-antique vessel contains an outer shell just barely attached to the glass beneath.

This cup is currently in Pljevlja; its inscription reads "For good life of Panelleni"
Update: whether or not it& #39;s an aurochs, griffin of some sort, or unicorn (?) is up for debate. Regardless, it& #39;s mythologically fun
#Oscars https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> Best Original Song nominee Tiara Thomas looks stunning in white.

The voluminous folds of her jacket reminded me of the flowing gown of priestess and quene Ahmose-Nefertari, wife to Egypt& #39;s Ahmose I.

She was also worshipped with her son at the village of Deir el-Medina
Also, look at the drapery and folds at the waist! Elegance then and now
