Oscars as considered the highest facilitation for the people in the entertainment world, everyone from backstage artist to the spotlight holders on the silver screen. It takes well-planned planning at war level for every single person to be appearing on and off stage.
Meryl Streep a name register from decades as in nominated for record of time to appear at Oscars. It's not wrong in metaphor saying she patent to Oscars. Except for a brilliant dress, what more could the world’s greatest living actress want for Hollywood’s biggest night? However, this year’s her appearance crowded in controversy as she went under some miscommunication with her dress designer Karl Lagerfeld. Especially after her Golden Globe appearance and speech it so clear, she is not the actress to be messed with, though Karl has done that.
As reported by Women’s Wears Daily, she opted to wear an embroidered grey silk gown from Karl Lagerfeld’s most recent couture collection for the house. The dress was ordered, with Streep requesting an adjustment to the design, a normal and regular order will turn out to a fuss no one ever expected.
“She wants a paycheck. With work on the dress well underway in Chanel’s atelier, word came from Streep’s camp to cease and desist. “I made a sketch, and we started to make the dress,” Lagerfeld told WWD. Days later, a phone call came in from a member of Streep’s camp. “’Don’t continue the dress. We found somebody who will pay us,’” Lagerfeld quoted the messenger, as reported via WWD. Very disappointing, Lagerfeld lamented, “A genius actress, but cheapness also, no?” quoted the designer.
However, later he submitted a public apology. He wrote, "After an informal conversation, I misunderstood that Ms Streep may have chosen another designer due to remuneration, which Ms Streep's team has confirmed is not the case. I regret this controversy and wish Ms Streep well with her 20th Academy Award nomination."
However as said arrow and word can't’ cease back, the most nominated actress in Oscar history did not accept this apology. She replied saying, "In reference to Mr Lagerfeld's statement, there is no controversy. Karl Lagerfeld, a prominent designer, defamed me, my stylist, and the illustrious designer whose dress I chose to wear, in an important industry publication. That publication printed this defamation, unchecked." She further added, "Subsequently, the story was picked up globally, and continues, globally, to overwhelm my appearance at the Oscars, on the occasion of my record breaking 20th nomination, and to eclipse this honour in the eyes of the media, my colleagues and the audience. I do not take this lightly, and Mr Lagerfeld's generic 'statement' of regret for this 'controversy' was not an apology. He lied, they printed the lie, and I am still waiting."-WTN
