Margot opted for a natural make-up look.

The white gown, although seemingly simple in its silhouette, took the famous designer 600 hours to craft, reports Instyle. The corset bodice features a 3D band of crystal tubes filled with with camellias, a favourite flower of Coco Chanel.

Margot completed her look with Chanel accessories – a statement ring and earrings in 18 carat white gold and diamonds.

The nominations came rolling in just as the actress was thinking of leaving an after party thrown for the film’s Australian premiere. First the editor of I, Tonya, Tatiana S. Riegel, was nominated. Then Allison Janney for best supporting actress.

And then came the blonde beauty’s big moment…

“Then someone plugged their phone into the DJ booth so it was really loud just when they announced my name,” she told The Project panel. “The whole room just went rahhhhhhh and we all started screaming and my mum was crying. It was amazing.”
