PICS: Rita Moreno proves her 1962 Oscar-winning outfit is timeless

Cape Town – Oscar-winning actress Rita Moreno attended this year’s Oscars in the same dress she wore to the Academy Awards in 1962.

Moreno – who is one of only 12 people in history to have won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony – donned the black and gold floral number, matched with black gloves, on the red carpet at Sunday night’s glitzy ceremony.

The very same black and gold floral ensemble she wore when she accepted the Best Supporting Actress for her role as Anita in West Side Story 56 years ago.

The 86-year-old presented the Best Foreign Language Film award to A Fantastic Woman with flair to an applauding audience.
