Barbara Streisand won her first-ever Oscars award for her role in “Funny Girl” in 1969 and got up to accept it wearing a transparent Arnold Scaasi pantsuit, W Magazine reported. The thing is, she had no idea the sparkly number was see-through until that very moment.
“I was choosing between two different outfits. One was lovely but very conservative. And then there was the pantsuit with plastic sequins,” she told the publication. “I had no idea that when the lights hit that outfit, it would become transparent!”
She added: “I wanted a white collar and cuffs, which it had, and I wore my hair under my chin because I thought to myself, I’m going to win two Oscars in my lifetime, and I’ll be more conservative next time.”
