Glenn Close Dresses Like The Oscar She's Probably Going To Win

Glenn Close is the frontrunner in the Best Actress Oscars race, so it only makes sense that she’d dress up like an actual award.

The actress arrived at the 91st annual Academy Awards on Sunday in a glittering gold Carolina Herrera gown complete with a floor-length cape and complementing clutch.

Close revealed on the red carpet that the dress was adorned with 4 million beads and weighed 42 pounds.

Close is nominated for her performance in “The Wife” and is expected to end her reign as the most nominated living actor to have never won an Oscar.

The 71-year-old has been nominated seven times at the Oscars over her decades-long career, but gained steam over the past awards season, picking up trophies at the Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Fans watching along on social media were naturally shook by the head-turning look.
