Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet at 2022 Oscars Cause Spike in ‘Unisex Fashion’ Searches
After the 2022 Academy Awards ceremony on Sunday, it seems fans were intrigued by the blurring of gender norms among the red carpet looks.
"Dune" stars Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet, in particular, veered away from the traditional awards ceremony attire, opting for more gender neutral looks. The singer-actress wore a custom Valentino look designed by creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli that consisted of a white satin cropped button-down blouse paired with a sequined silver skirt with flowing train.

The look was reminiscent of actress Sharon Stone's Oscars outfit at the 1998 show, in which she famously wore a Gap white button-up blouse paired with a lilac Vera Wang satin skirt.
