The96th Academy Awardsare less than a week away, and the 92-year-old actress — whois set to presentat the March 10 ceremony — is teasing her “extraordinary” and “different” red-carpet look.
While appearing onTodayon Monday morning, theWest Side Storystar told co-anchorHoda Kotbto look for her at the award show — “‘cause I’m going to wear a gown that’s gonna knock your socks off.”
The legendary actress — who also revealed she will be bringing her daughter and bestieFernanda Luisa Gordonto the Oscars — accidentally misinformed Kotb about the gown’s designer, telling her it would be Dolce&Gabbana.
But she cleared the air about the gown, which is actually a Badgley Mischka creation, later in the program.
“I gotta clear something up instantly,” she said on Today. “Badgley Mischka! That’s the gown I’m wearing for the Oscars. I am 92 years old and I got confused earlier onToday, this show. And I’m sure somebody’s gonna just kill me.”
She went on to say that the gown will be “astonishing” — and hinted that fans can expect her to rock a very different ‘do than they are used to.
“I’m going to wear an extraordinary gown for the Oscars,” she told the hosts of the ensemble, a follow-up toher iconic 2022 red-carpet look.
And, like her 2022 Oscars look — which Moreno joked was “not bad for an old lady” — her 2024 dress will be black, she revealed.
