Beanie Feldstein Honors Her Character At The 2018 SAG Awards

Choosing a dress to wear to the 2018 SAG Awards isn’t an easy decision, but for Beanie Feldstein, it was simple. The star of the critically-acclaimed movie Lady Bird decided to wear her high school prom dress to the prestigious award show. This choice was not just a fashion statement but a heartfelt tribute to her character, Julie, in the coming-of-age film. In a recent interview with The Cut, the 24-year-old actress shared how trying on the black V-neck Kay Unger dress from her prom at the LA high school Harvard-Westlake sparked a nostalgic connection, compelling her to wear it again.

“I put it on and it fit, surprisingly maybe better than it did in high school! I looked at myself and I was like, ‘What!?’” Beanie exclaimed. The emotional moment was shared with her mother and her best friend, who couldn’t stop laughing and insisted, “You have to wear it! There’s just no other dress that would be better.” This moment highlights the significance of clothing in personal memories and identity.

And she looked gorgeous so why wouldn’t she re-wear the dress? It was a beautiful way to connect her own life with her character’s journey in Lady Bird. Reflecting on this connection, she remarked, “It’s just a gorgeous dress, and I love how my character’s story ends at the prom, so like, for the first time I’m going to an awards show as a nominee with the cast, it’s like, ‘You gotta wear your prom dress, girl, and honor Julie.’”
