Brie Larson Channels the ’60s in a Custom Chanel Midi Dress at the 2024 Emmys
Brie Larson gave one final homage to her Lessons in Chemistry character, Elizabeth Zott, with a custom Chanel midi dress designed just for tonight’s Emmy Awards. Larson stepped out in a embellished tiered look based on archival Chanel looks from the ’50s and ’60s. She wore her hair half up, half down with a black bow.
Larson is nominated for Best Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for her work in Lessons in Chemistry. In November, Larson spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about what drew her to both acting in and executive producing the project.
“I cannot overstate how important the character of Elizabeth Zott felt to me from the second I started reading the book,” she began. “The tone was really what got me, and what surprised me. Because I think a lot about tone as someone who makes things. It’s a dance of not making something less dark or scary as it is, but also making it in a way that allows people to get closer to it and actually consider it or contemplate it. I felt like in the book she did it so well. And that, to me, felt like the biggest thrill and the biggest challenge of this. I also think that the confluence of science and love is ultimately what it’s grappling with, of which one we organize our life around, and realizing that it’s both. It’s about process and care and being meticulous, but there’s also chance and randomness. And I think love falls into that. It can’t be contained. You don’t know when it’s going to come. So to feel that those are two things that are butting up against each other in this show just felt really rich to me.”
