Red Ben de Lisi dress of Kate Winslet

Designer	Ben de Lisi
Year	2002
Type	Red one-shoulder flower strap dress

English actress Kate Winslet wore a red one-shoulder flower strap dress designed by Ben de Lisi to the 74th Academy Awards on 24 March 2002. The shoulder strap, composed of a garland of silk roses, was evocative of Spanish flamenco dancers.[1] In a poll by Debenhams published in The Daily Telegraph the dress was voted the seventh greatest red carpet gown of all time.[2]

Cosmopolitan has cited the gown as one of the best Oscar dresses of all time, stating, "This dress is ultra-flattering on Kate, and it's a great color for her very fair skin and strawberry blond hair. The flowery, embroidered strap is a pretty detail that makes this simple gown fit for the red carpet".[3]
