The design process began with the French fashion house sending over ideas for two different dresses, which they ultimately decided to combine for the final look. “Louis Vuitton sent two sketches. One had this incredible color. We put the two together and all it needed was Viola to bring it to life,” says Stewart.

Davis' custom silk-crepe confection features hidden shoulder padding to accentuate the silhouette and complex embroidery. According to Louis Vuitton, it took more than 140 hours to embroider the dress with over 10,000 gold and silver metallic sequins bonded together on the fabric to form a geometric motif.
The “spectacular color and subtly quirky details” are what make this one-of-a-kind gown stand out in Stewart’s mind.
“I couldn’t have been in better company, thank you so much,” she said of her fellow nominees.
This win marks the fifth SAG Award win for Davis, who most recently won the supporting actress trophy in 2017 forFences. She went on to win Oscar gold that year.
