Child's Value Hannah Montana Costume (Small 4-6)

Product Information

Bronwyn Cosgrave, fashion journalist and author of “Made for Each Other: Fashion and the Academy Awards”:“I was there during London Fashion Week, and [the swan] dress was a talking point. It was the showstopper. It closed the show, and Alek Wek wore it. So the dress had a life of its own before Björk came along.

Christophe Bop, embroidery designer, Marjan Pejoski (2001):“Marjan was very big in the London fashion scene at the time, and he was good friends with Björk. In 2001, [she] was working on her ‘Vespertine’ album, and the album was like a winter tale, very atmospheric. So when she saw the swan dress, she loved it because the swan is like a winter animal and it fit the spirit she was in perfectly.” Surely. 21. In case it wasn’t clear, Hannah Montana would like to remind you that she is a STAR. 22. Those boots are too much. Steele:“It’s one of the most famous dresses that was ever worn on the red carpet. [Around that time], actors had started being hyper careful . . . and somehow, [the red carpet] became about everyone being on-brand and on-message. There was much less of the kind of wild creativity that threatened to go off the deep end into total insane fabulousness . . . But most importantly another sparkly skinny scarf making an appearance amongst this intensecolour coordination. 8. The tie!!!! 9. OK, actually this look over here is low-key pretty damn cute. 10. Awww yeah that sequin vest. Get it girl. 11. When you’ve gotta dress fancy but cbf to take off yourcomfy clothes. 12. And so began the era of the fingerless glove. Björkarrived at Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium on Oscar night and stepped onto the red carpet. At various points, she coyly lifted her chiffon skirt and dropped an egg onto the ground — she later told British GQ she “laid” as many as six.Joel Amsterdam, VP of publicity, Elektra Records (1990-2004):“Before the actual award show, we went to a rehearsal. Björk was downstairs . . . in the theater, and I was upstairs in the dressing room talking to Scott [Rodger], and I said, ‘By the way, what’s Björk going to wear?’ And he said, ‘Oh, it’s over there on the couch.’ Bjork wore Pejoski’s poofy pink organza pleated-lantern dress to Cannes and ended up winning the best actress prize. But the designer’s team did not know her plans for the swan dress. YESSS !! , eruption !!” she wrote as the volcano flared up just six miles from her home in Iceland. “We still got it !!! sense of relief when nature expresses herself !!” Amsterdam:“Julia Roberts won Best Actress that year . . . and I just remember thinking, ‘Wow, Björk is actually getting more from these photographers than Julia!’ ”

The social-media outburst — unexpected and weird, but also earnest, earthy and poetic — was quintessential Björk. After all, this is the artist best known to the general public for wearing a swan to the Oscars. While she was in Los Angeles, she posed for the cover of her upcoming album, “Vespertine,” in the same dress. She later told Interview magazine, “I don’t really know why I’m obsessed with swans,” but added that they were “very romantic, being monogamous . . . Right now, swans seem to sort of stand for a lot of things.” Michael Caulfield, photographer, Associated Press (1992-2001):“I will never forget that moment when she walked up thered carpet. I wasn’t sure if it was a political statement or she was promoting a movie . . . After she passed by, I don’t think there was a single photographer who talked about anything else.”

8. The tie!!!!

Steve Granitz, photographer, WireImage (2001-present):“People were just staring at her. I think they were kind of in awe. Everyone was frozen, almost like in slow motion.” So from that perspective, she’s nailing this look… I guess. 17. RIP Hannah Montana and her Dr. Martens phase. 18. This dress is just objectively ugly. Soz m8. 19. Confused by this skirt tbh. 20. Quite sure she was taking the piss with these pants.
