Throwback Pic Of Julie Andrews At The 1965 Oscars Shows Off One Of Her Best Looks

Long before the viral fanfare of today's celebrity red carpets, with their sheer fabrics and dramatic silhouettes, Julie Andrews perfected a more timeless approach to Hollywood dressing. Back in 1965, and at the height of her "Mary Poppins" fame, the star was quickly becoming known not just for her talent but also for her impeccable fashion choices, including at award shows.

Although the time period marked the end of Hollywood's golden age, a throwback photo of the beloved star attending the 1965 Oscars makes it clear that chic and sophisticated Hollywood glamour was simply embedded in Andrews' DNA. Looking back at Andrews' outfit decades later, the Oscars look still stands out as one of her best looks to date.

Andrews looked stunning in a bright yellow pastel gown with an ultra-slim strap. The actress finished off the look with a delicate, jeweled necklace — a perfectly refined ensemble for Andrews' first and only Oscar win to date, which makes the outfit even more memorable.

Julie Andrews has previously shared her approach to style, expressing that her fashion was more simple and balanced. In a 1973 interview with Beauty Plus Magazine (via Julie Andrews Online), the actor shared, "I am not a trendy person, though I like clothes as much as the average woman. On the whole, I like casual gear, trousers, and shirts." She added, "But then I can veer right away and be terribly elegant in a very feminine gown and dress right up and thoroughly enjoy it. But I always like the simple, uncluttered look best."

While reflecting on her role in "The Princess Diaries", where fashion played a major role in Mia Thermopolis' transformation, the actress shared her sartorial thoughts about the movie with Film Threat. Speaking to the outlet back in 2001, Andrews said, "I mean, it was a wonderful role that allowed me to dress in all these lovely Armani clothes and wear gorgeous tiaras... I would be an idiot to turn it down!"
