I was telling her how she has been such an influence to me, and I didn’t realize it was big for me, [but] I started getting teary,” the Orange Is the New Black star explained. “Her Oscar moment in this [Elie Saab] dress changed my life as a black actress, as someone who wanted to create a space for myself in this industry. She made history in this dress.” Cox also noted that Berry is the only Oscar winner of African American descent in the Best Actress category. “This iconic moment, [that] Oscar is bigger than me. It’s for every nameless, faceless woman of color who’s ever dreamed a dream!” For fashion editor Rassi, Gwenyth Paltrow’s light pink Ralph Lauren dress was an epic moment on the 1999 red carpet. “Ralph Lauren, wearing Gwyneth Paltrow, or Gwyneth Paltrow wearing Ralph Lauren?!” the Milk Makeup co founder told Us. “I remember this moment so distinctly when it was on television. Her stylist, Elizabeth Saltzman, told me that this is the color that she now wears at all times when she possible can because it just suits her.” For more iconic fashion and beauty moments, watch the video above, and catch the ladies on Glam Masters, premiering Wednesday, February 28 on Lifetime 10 p.m. ET.
