The Three Faces of Eve
Velvet dress, worn by Joanne Woodward in her Oscar-winning role
1957
Evening dress (size: approximately woman's 0). Red velvet, sleeveless basque waist dress with fitted bodice, zip and eyehook closure, appliqué sequin bows, with "20th Century Fox" and "Joanne Woodward" labels.
Dress worn by Joanne Woodward as "Eve Black." As Woodward strides into the Dixie Motel wearing the present dress, the confidence of Eve Black—Eve White's wild, thrill-seeking personality—is unmistakable. The degree to which Joanne Woodward was able to inhabit the three distinct characters she portrayed in The Three Faces of Eve Best caught the attention of critics as well as her peers, and her Best Actress Oscar win was this film's only Oscar nomination.
