Janelle Monáe brought the *drama* to the 2020 Oscars in her gorgeous ensemble. The singer, who is performing at the award ceremony, wore a stunning silver Ralph Lauren creation. She walked the red carpet [1] in a long-sleeved silver gown that was dripping with crystals. More importantly, her gown came with a hood, completing the look, one that begs the question, "Who needs a knight in shining armor when there's Janelle Monáe?" The star worked the red carpet in the custom creation that also had a keyhole cutout on the back. The hood of her dress took over 600 hours of hand embroidery [2] and it features over 168,000 Swarovski crystals. She paired her sparkly ensemble with Forevermark jewels. Read on to see all angles of her outfit ahead.
