Betsey Johnson is bringing a pop of color to the red carpet.
The iconic fashion designer made a rare red carpet appearance at the Elton John AIDS Foundation’s annual Oscars viewing party, where she offered her hot take on this year’s award season fashion trends.
“I see a lot of black,” she said in an exclusive interview with E! News at the event in Los Angeles March 15. “I like a little more color. Black is safe.”
But the 83-year-old admitted she was keen to take in all the looks at the charity gala—hosted by Elton John and his husband David Furnish—noting, “I haven’t looked around yet—we just got here!”
The appearance marked a rare red carpet appearance for Betsey, who electrified the event in a neon pink feathered skirt and black top with sheer sleeves, styling her blonde locks in a loose updo. And while the vibrant ensemble was sure to turn some heads, she was more concerned with feeling comfortable in her own skin.
