Australian actress Rose Byrne turned heads at the 2026 Academy Awards in a stunning black Christian Dior gown, marking her first Best Actress nomination. The strapless dress featured intricate floral embroidery, a structured bodice, and a dramatic full skirt, complemented by a gold necklace and red lip.
Shortly after the red carpet, shoppers discovered a remarkably similar dress on Amazon Australia for just $66. The Women Tulle Prom Dress Flower Embroidery Long Formal Evening Party Gown captures the same romantic silhouette with a fitted bodice, flowing maxi skirt, and delicate floral detailing.
The affordable alternative has gained attention for its size inclusivity, available up to 3X, which is rare in formalwear at this price point. Its versatility suits formal events, garden parties, or celebrations, depending on accessories.
Byrne's Oscars look, styled by Kate Young, marked a shift from her custom green Chanel gown at the Golden Globes. The rapid hunt for affordable dupes highlights how red carpet fashion quickly influences consumer trends.
