Michelle Williams's Favorite Red Carpet Moment & My Best Awards Dresses | Hello Fashion | Kate Young

This week’s episode is about awards shows. In addition to going into the designer- and dress-selection process, I highlight three of my all-time favorite awards looks: a saffron-colored Vera Wang dress, which Michelle Williams wore to the 78th Academy Awards on March 5, 2006, when she was nominated for “Brokeback Mountain”; a red Prada dress, which Selena Gomez wore to the American Music Awards on Nov. 20, 2016, when she won the Favorite Female Artist-Pop/Rock award; and a white Chanel couture dress, which Margot Robie wore to the 90th Academy Awards on March 4, 2018, when she was nominated for “I, Tonya.”
I also FaceTime with Michelle about that yellow dress and extraordinary red carpet moment.

Michelle's mustard dress is iconic. it's in my top 5 most beautiful oscar dresses of all time. Michelle's beauty, makeup, and hairstyle made everything perfect ❤️

I’m so happy we got a closer look to the Prada red sleeveless ball gown that Selena wore in the Ama’s red carpet.✨

[@kateyoung]

Isn’t it cool that it’s yellow underneath?

[@thedaydreamgallery]

@@kateyoung So cool!! It's amazing to see every single detail of the dress.✨

The yellow vera wang dress is my all-time favourite Oscar dress. She was the epitome of elegance! The unfinished hem, genius!

[@priscilia1021]

Yes finally this dress. Up until this moment, i think this dress is still one of the best dress Selena’s ever worn. It’s just so simple and beautiful. And don’t get me started on her speech.. Powerful!

[@kateyoung]

❤️

[@meghaaa]

The red dress Selena wore to 2016 AMAs is iconic. Her speech still brings tears to my eyes

[@Mmardrif]

I looooove it so much that you actually care about empowering women through fashion, proving that there's much more than just looking hot and cute

[@kateyoung]

Thank you 🥰

Omg it would be amazing to see how Selena’s look for Cannes came to life, that Louis Vuitton dress was gorgeous 🤩

[@kateyoung]

Watching myself on these video has made me reconsider some of what I wear all the time 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@backoflies]

Those two Oscar dresses were iconic! It's even more amazing to know both of them got ready in the same room

[@kateyoung]

That room has seen a lot !

[@Koroniadis]

Selena really looking like a princess

[@kateyoung]

Agree!

[@soceanishlowp1961]

You make a simple beautiful dresses look so interesting and magical when you explain. I love it

Thanks!

[@salonimhamane9389]

I have always wondered how designers and stylists get collaborated for red carpet looks...but now I have an idea of how things get together and the look is created ...thanku for making this ...very informative and so much to learn....

[@kateyoung]

💕

[@tenzingchoekyi125]

I love how the videos are short, to the point yet entertaining. I also love how there's like a short description for specific terms used.

[@kateyoung]

Thanks!

[@_selenas_style2493]

I fell in love with the red Prada dress when I blogged about it in 2016, and still love it now.

[@kateyoung]

❤️

[@dana395]

This channel is the best thing to happen to fashion coverage since House of Style & CNN Style with Elsa Klensch.

[@kateyoung]

💕💕💕

[@tsering7496]

Remember all these dresses. Iconic. As soon as I watch Kate’s video, I feel very inspired, more informed and more stylish (even though I’m exactly the same person) lol

[@kateyoung]

❤️

[@natashaf.8597]

I'd love a video or series that digs in more on garment construction and how you know what a garment is going to do for different bodies based on materials, pleats, cuts, etc... Especially breaking down the mechanics of fit and how you use that knowledge to emphasize or de-emphasize aspects of your clients

[@bettyblu8115]

I love when you said it was "her armour". I think often what we wear can give us all a sense of strength (sometimes vulnerability or bad-assness or playfulness, etc.). You and the channel are wonderful. I love diving deeper into how much really goes into this shared creative process. You are a part of all of the artistry that goes into, in this case fashion...and really the whole look. You really can tell a story. New sub, great job! Thank you!

[@kateyoung]

Thank you!

[@sarahlambremont5162]

Fascinating! Would love more back stories on how whole looks came together with hair, makeup, jewelry etc! That’s always my favorite part

[@kateyoung]

❤️

[@danielmora4245]

Omg i love ur personality Kate 💖 love the job you do with Selena ✨

[@kateyoung]

❤️

[@theresal3854]

I remember seeing Michelle Williams in the beautiful yellow dress. I cut the photo out of a magazine and kept it, hoping one day I would wear something like this! It’s so beautifully classic. The design is so timeless this is her most beautiful look hands down 💗

[@kateyoung]

❤️

[@radhikapatil1986]

Vera Wang yellow dress was one of my aha moment which made me realise how much I love fashion, art and architecture.. now I'm working as an architect and the parallels between the two made me remember how much I miss studying to become fashion designer.... I changed the course but this channel is giving me some what a masterclass in haute couture.. thank you Kate for starting this channel and taking us all on the journey to the beautiful world of fashion. ❤️

[@kateyoung]

❤️❤️❤️

[@geraldineramos6903]

I love this show, every episode is perfection, I can’t wait until the next one. I never noticed the raw edge in the Michelle dress in photographs is almost invisible but here was omg! How i missed that.

[@kateyoung]

💛

[@galinam1081]

Another great video! I’m a designer and that yellow dress is definitely one of the top 5 red carpet looks that I’ve seen in my lifetime. The whole styling and Michelle in it was pure perfection!

The yellow dress will forever be my favorite Oscar look of all time. Everything about it was absolute perfection, and the red lip just complimented it so beautifully ☀️

Living for your channel Kate! You are the original OG inspiration for us fellow celebrity stylists. Thank you for sharing the details behind Michelle's iconic yellow Vera Wang, my favorite red carpet moment of all time. When Michelle hit the carpet that day, the world stopped. Hope to meet you someday. Keep the content coming!

[@kateyoung]

Thank you so much!!!!! 💛💛💛

[@tenzingchoekyi125]

That red dress was one of my favorite looks on selena. Loved this episode too

[@kateyoung]

[@pam0626]

Michelle’s yellow dress is one of the top ten most memorable Oscar dresses. Kate is the best stylist in the world, hands down.

[@kateyoung]

💛

[@tuyetvu152]

I love Michelle's dress and her make up. That mustard yellow color stood out that year hands down. I remember seeing this yellow color on Amal Clooney when she attended Prince Harry's wedding, but i have to say i love the design of Michelle's dress much more. I did not realize how beautiful the white Chanel dress is until you showed it here especially the intricacy of embroideries. The silhouette of the red dress is beautiful. I love that dress for its simplicity, but there is nothing simple about that dress as you showed us the "inside" of it!

[@kateyoung]

❤️

[@Chelsea-jx1bi]

Wow! I am so grateful that you have started a youtube channel. I absolutely love hearing about your thought processes and decisions that went into choosing the outfit. So often fashion presents to us in images but we rarely get the opportunity to indulge our love of fashion in a detailed and intellectual way - i.e. thought process, construction, decision making etc. I am in complete awe of your level of taste and expertise. I do have a request for a video... I really struggle to find clothing that suits my frame. I have a plus size hourglass frame and I find a lot of fashion is constructed around a straighter, more up and down silhouette. And any plus size clothing is either a veritable sack or incredibly revealing. I would really appreciate if you could provide some pointers on types of outfits to head towards without looking frumpy. Thank you so much! I cannot wait to watch more videos! XXX

[@kateyoung]

❤️❤️❤️

[@melda2277]

kate i love your work! you are so tallented and beautiful (inside and out)!!! the yellow dress... the white dress is just wow looks sooo good on Margot Robie and im not even gonna talk about the red dress because it was ICONIC! (and the speech was so inspirational i really love her heart)

[@nataliavagena8993]

The white Chanel dress Margot wore in 2018 is still one of my favourites ever! I love your videos, great job one more time cannot wait for next week!!

[@kateyoung]

🤍

[@sophiawarrilow]

This is such an interesting video! I love the fact that the embroidery on the white dress looks like Chanel tweed. Thank you for sharing these details.

[@juliademers4674]

I'm so excited about these videos and the details you go into. Agree 100% with covering the armpits, especially as a curvy woman I feel covering parts of my inner arm make me feel & look more slim. I would love to hear more about how you fit women of different body types, and more about cuts/designs that suit more diverse bodies especially in everyday looks in one of your upcoming videos!

[@kateyoung]

[@rebeccasummerlin7848]

Hey Kate! Would love to see an episode on how to mix prints, patterns and colors. Love you show!! XO

[@kateyoung]

Good idea!

[@vanessahammick2770]

Yes I would love this too! I have a gorgeous orange silk skirt with a vivid flower pattern and no idea what to wear it with?!

[@kateyoung]

If you mix prints they should have at least one color in common.

again I'd LOVE to see a more full busted look for those women who have that like myself. I'm working on how to put together a dress that caters to the smaller waist with a larger bust line... it isn't easy but once I get it, it looks amazing! Really enjoy the videos girl thanks!

I loved seeing the Vera Wang dress up close - it's so unique and I had no idea about the raw edges. The marigold dress and red lip combination has been replicated quite a lot since this look. Diane Kruger, Kirsten Dunst and Lea Seydoux have done it in the past.

[@kateyoung]

Ah three of my all time favourite dresses! So glad to get this level of insight into these iconic fashion moments 🖤

[@diorfashionaddict5738]

So beautiful and inspiring fashion choices. I love Michelle Williams' red carpet moments. I religiously check red carpet pictures, what celebs wore and what makeup they used even the lipstick colours :) Red carpet looks inspire me so much. I skip dark winterish colour gowns and focus on pastels, tulle+ mesh + lace and silky silhouettes, vibrant light colour gowns - they inspire me alot for my daily style looks especially for spring summer. I add them to my personal style mood boards that I create in the beginning of every season. I don't like dark makeup and dark colour gowns I do not know why. I am a huge fan of Giambattista Valli runway shows for inspiration. Valentino also makes great gowns. I am also a sucker of 2000s and 90s looks of John Galliano for Dior and Tom Ford for Gucci. Those were the best eras of both Gucci and Dior. Love you videos I re-watch to take notes :) please continue your channel! Love x

[@kateyoung]

[@denilsonmejiia3837]

[@magdakrawczyk7362]

Such a great video! I love to see all the details of those beautiful dresses, which you can't really see in the pictures.
