Actress Keke Palmer chose a vintage black strapless Chanel gown for the SAG Awards this past weekend — and it wasn’t the first time this particular style had a high-profile outing. Back in 1986, fellow performer Jamie Lee Curtis wore the same formfitting velvet stunner for the first annual American Cinematheque Award ceremony, according to PageSix.
The gown, which features intricate gold beading on the bodice, debuted in Chanel’s Autumn/Winter 1985 ready-to-wear runway show, just a few years into Karl Lagerfeld’s tenure at the French fashion house. Supermodel Inès de la Fressange wore it paired with wrist-length gloves. Nearly 40 years apart, Palmer and Curtis each paired the dress with opera gloves, an accessory that’s trending on the red carpet this year. Both stars kept their jewelry minimal, Curtis opting for large gold button earrings, like those worn by Fressange, and Palmer for small diamond hoops.
