"one of the greatest dresses in the history of the red carpet of the Oscars"!?[edit]

The three sources read: "1999: Paltrow steps onto the Academy Awards red carpet in a pink Ralph Lauren ball gown. The look received mixed reviews until she earned the Best Actress Oscar for her role in Shakespeare in Love. All is forgiven and pink dresses fly off the racks" and "This pretty, pink – if admittedly somewhat roomy – gown by Ralph Lauren suited Gwyneth Paltrow to the ground." and "The bubblegum-pink princess gown got mixed reviews from critics, but Paltrow's dress struck the perfect tone for her fairy-tale evening — and inspired racks full of pink dresses in stores across the country that year." and "Some critics panned Gwyenth Paltrow's choice of pink Ralph Lauren gown (TV Guide.com recounts one critic saying she looked like "a Barbie doll wrapped in satin ribbon,"), but the style icon still managed to set off a trend for pink when she accepted the 1999 award for Best Actress."

There is is no source for "one of the greatest dresses in the history of the red carpet of the Oscars", this dress divided fashion critics and is remembered for being baggy and ill-fitting.--93.211.217.180 (talk) 03:35, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
