Gorgeous black taffeta gown by Badgley Mischka worn by Jennifer Lopez to the 71st Academy Awards on March 21, 1999, where she presented the award for 'Best Original Song.' The dress retains its "Badgley Mischka" and size "6" tags sewn inside the back, corresponding with Lopez's publicly reported size (she told Vogue: 'I'm just a regular woman. I wear a size 6'); however, the top hem has been altered into a sweetheart shape, and the dress seems to have been custom-fitted to something more of a size '2' since Lopez wore it in 1999. The body is wrapped by ornate strands of decorative pearls and beads, and delicately embellished along the neckline. In fine condition, with a slight fray on the back mesh trim. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the consignor, who acquired the dress from a high-end consignment shop; when she inquired about the model name of the gown with Badgley Mischka's customer service, they replied: "The gown you are inquiring about was worn by Jennifer Lopez at the 1999 Oscars. We are not selling this style."
