The star, 29, who is a Chanel ambassador, brought vintage glamour to the red carpet in a couture dress from the fashion house’s Spring/Summer 1994 collection.
“We were obsessed with ’90s supermodels for hair and makeup, so there was something really great about [the dress] being [worn on] ’90s Claudia Schiffer because she was our inspiration,” Young told PEOPLE ahead of Sunday night’s show. “It’s classic, but has a dramatic feel that is good forthe Oscars.”

She kept her jewelry simple, adding just a yellow gold, diamond and pearl Chanel ring, to a minimum to focus to the gown’s “major feature”: a pearl and lapis jewel detail and a pearl tassel. For more glamour, Robbie added a red lip and loose hair for a “polished and classic” look, Young explains.
Robbie, who worked with Young to create all of her red carpet ensembles this season, is taking a “youthful approach this time around,” the stylist says. “We’re having a good time with it and not taking it all so seriously.”
The Oscarsaren’t Robbie’s first outing in Chanel; she also wore an embroidered bustier top and skirt at the 2020Golden Globesand a plaid halter dress at the 2020SAG Awards.

“She has this really nice relationship with Chanel,” Young said. “Having a woman designer at Chanel changes the tone a bit and there is a sort of female easiness in the couture that we’re trying to embrace. She wants to feel a bit more relaxed and we’re trying to find a place and what [dress] suits her real personality.”
Robbie is up for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her performance in Bombshell, up against Kathy Bates (Richard Jewell), Laura Dern (Marriage Story), Florence Pugh (Little Women) and Scarlett Johansson (Jojo Rabbit).
During an appearance onGood Morning Americaon Tuesday, theBombshellstar revealedthat she was so focused onmaking sure she nailed her costar’s speechthat she forgot to prepare her own.
“He [Pitt], like the night before, was like ‘Can you do my speech for me? I can’t be there,’ and I was so panicked about his speech that I didn’t even think about preparing one for myself,” said Robbie.
“I was up for two, for both films in my category, and it wasn’t until I was in the car on the way there that I was like ‘Oh my gosh, I hope I don’t win because I don’t have anything to say,’” she added with a laugh.
Pitt, 56, was also nominated forOnce Upon a Time… in Hollywood,and took home the honor for best supporting actor. But shortly before Sunday’s awards show began in London, it was revealed that he would not be attending, and had Robbie accept his award on his behalf.
“Brad couldn’t be here tonight due to family obligations, so he asked me to read his response for him,” Robbie said during the show.
