Oscars 2019: Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet wear outfits (and scrunchies) designed by Karl Lagerfeld
'What a great way to honour him tonight'
Actors Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet have paid tribute to the late Karl Lagerfeld at the 2019 Oscars.
On 19 February, luxury fashion house Chanel announced its creative director had died at the age of 85 in Paris, France.
Tonight, the married couple took to the red carpet in matching blush pink ensembles and later revealed their outfits were designed by the late designer, who was also the creative director at Italian fashion label Fendi.
"We have the honour of wearing Karl Lagerfeld,” said Bonet, dressed in a lilac and blush pink sheer skirt and panelled dress, during an interview with model Ashley Graham on MTV News ahead of the ceremony.
“He designed Jason’s tux personally for him and this is from his last couture collection from Fendi,” she added, laying her hand on her husband’s outfit which featured a brown lapel.

Show all 11Graham described the pair’s looks as “beautiful” and added: “What a great way to honour [Lagerfeld] tonight.”
Momoa also honoured the late designer by wearing a matching-coloured hair scrunchie on his right wrist which featured a small Fendi tag.
Unsurprisingly, the actor's choice of hair accessory hasn't gone unnoticed by fans on Twitter.
"I'll just be here, waiting for Jason Momoa to put that scrunchie in his hair," wrote one user.
Another commented: "PSA: Jason Momoa matched his pink suit to Lisa Bonet's dress, and also his pink scrunchie."
Ok, I’m DYING to know...? Has #JasonMomoa used the @Fendi scrunchie for his hair yet or no? #Oscars
