Abu Jani
and
Sandeep Khosla
and
the long red dress

---

Best Supporting Actress nominee, Dame Judi Dench arrives at the 73rd Annual Academy Awards. This year, the British actress, (who also wore an Abu Jani - Sandeep Khosla creation when she won the Oscar for the Best Supporting Actress Award in 1999), wore a stunning blood-red chiffon Pakeezair dress and stole. The dress, embroidered with jet-black crystals, beads and sequins, was a straight silhouette with a deep V cut neck, full beaded sleeves and beaded tassels at one end.

Dame Judi Dench's applause to Abu and Sandeep was "Not only are their clothes works of art, but they are exquisite to look at and the most feminine clothes I have ever worn."

Thanks to Jan M for sending me the scan of Judi's long red dress. It was done by David and Rae McAnally and appeared in Australia's Who Magazine -- the special Oscar edition. Also thanks to Mike Kennedy who sent the photos of Abu and Sandeep as well as the text, part of which appeared on Abu-Sandeep's website.
