America Ferrera‘s Oscars gown took 400 hours to make.


The 39-year-old star – who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for ‘Barbie‘ but lost out to Da’Vine Joy Randolph for ‘The Holdovers‘ – walked the red carpet at the Academy Awards on Sunday March 10 in a stunning pink Versace bodycon gown with a subtle trail made of chainmail, which gave it an unusual glow, and the dress reportedly required the work of seven tailors over a huge number of hours, “ABC News” revealed.


For jewelry, Ferrera opted for items from Pomallato, including the Ode to Milan Castello Necklace, a bold collar design featuring rubellites and diamonds, and the Ode to Milan Castello Ring, featuring a rhodolite garnet and diamonds. To complete the look the actress wore simple stud earrings, while her make-up featured a soft smoky eye, nude lip and pink blush.

Before arriving at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, America shared a short behind-the-scenes video on Instagram, showing her getting her hair and skim primed, while her stylist Karla Welch shared her own video of them putting the “Ugly Betty” star’s look together.


“We thought we’d save the pink for last,” she captioned her post.

America previously admitted being nominated for an Oscar was a “dream come true.”

“It’s so surreal and a dream come true for me. I can so viscerally remember being a kid watching the Academy Awards and watching Halle Berry win, watching Julia Roberts win, and just dreaming one day that I would be in that room,” she told “Entertainment Weekly.”

But the actress was “sad and disappointed” about Greta Gerwig being snubbed for Best Director and Margot Robbie not being nominated for Best Actress.

“Their work in both of those categories was phenomenal and in my book, [they] deserve to be acknowledged for the history they made, for the ground they broke, for the beautiful artistry. They’re my girls, and I want to see them celebrated for their amazingness, so that part of it is definitely bittersweet,” she said.
