Vasileff, the founder of Aussie couture label Paolo Sebastian, dressed E! News presenter Giuliana Rancic – host of the channel’s red carpet special – for Hollywood’s night of nights, one of his biggest commissions yet.

The ethereal gown Rancic chose featured a bodice crafted from crystal-embellished lace atop invisible tulle to give the illusion the gems were floating on the skin. Its full skirt was made from more than 50 metres of French tulle.

“I didn’t know if she would wear one of our gowns but I had a feeling if she did it would be that one,” Vasileff said.

“It’s been one of my life goals to have one of my designs on the Oscars red carpet. It’s a huge honour, I feel so lucky to have been chosen.”
