Make a bold statement like Natalie Portman at the Oscars did with text-on-clothes

As the who's-who of Hollywood dazzled on the red carpet at the big ticket show of the year, the Oscars, it was as much about who wore what as the films they were in. And instead of simply choosing a stunning outfit like many of her peers, actress Natalie Portman decided to make a statement in a different way — she wore a cape embroidered with names of women filmmakers as a way to call out the Academy for nominating only men in the best director category yet another year. This included Lorene Scafaria (Hustlers), Lulu Wang (The Farewell) and Greta Gerwig (Little Women), among others. A subtle, slick and tasteful way to go about it, opines stylist Isha Sahni. "A long shrug in a deep shade looks royal. Subtlety is key when it comes to wearing text in a formal setting," she explains.
