When she turned around, her thong was fully visible, rising up from the ultra-low Eduardo Lucero jersey dress.
Gillian Anderson's fashion choices for the 2001 Vanity Fair Oscars party have become an iconic early 2000s moment.
Anderson told a panel in 2016 that the thong was a last-minute decision, not a planned style choice.
But when I put it on, my pubic hairs poked through the dress,” Anderson told the moderator and the audience to raucous laughter.
As for the fate of the Eduardo Lucero dress, Anderson donated it to a charity auction (sans thong) to benefit research into the genetic disorder Neurofibromatoses, according to her website.
