Liza Koshy Looks Elegant in a Backless Silk Gown Adorned with Pearls
Liza Koshy Stuns in Bridal-Inspired Elegance at Dual Red Carpet Events
On Wednesday, March 11, Liza Koshy showcased a striking white silk gown adorned with pearls, making a memorable impression at two red carpet events leading up to the 2026 Oscars. Designed by Yara Shoemaker, the halter-neck gown featured a dramatic backless design, perfectly complementing Koshy’s standout appearance.
The first event, the Time Women of the Year Gala, served as the backdrop for Koshy’s elegant debut. The actress, known for her role in The Naked Gun, commanded attention in her plunging gown, which cascaded elegantly to the floor, emphasizing its bridal aesthetic.
Following the gala, Koshy attended the "South Asians at the Oscars" pre-Oscars party at Rideback Ranch in Los Angeles. This gathering celebrated the achievements of South Asian storytellers and creatives within the film industry.
Koshy’s floor-length gown was sourced directly from Shoemaker’s spring/summer 2024 couture runway. The gown’s bodice was intricately embellished with strands of pearls, further enhanced by crystal beads, creating a stunning visual effect.
To complete her look, the YouTube star opted for a curly pixie cut, minimal makeup, and small diamond earrings, ensuring her outfit remained the focal point of her appearance.
At the pre-Oscars gathering, documentary filmmaker Geeta Gandbhir and director/writer Alexandre Singh were honored guests. Gandbhir, who received recognition two weeks prior at another South Asian film industry event, addressed the audience, emphasizing the significance of representation and the ripple effects of the ongoing struggles faced by communities in the U.S.
"We are living in a time, particularly in the U.S., an incredibly alarming and dangerous time," she remarked. "The person who gave me my first opportunity to film was the great Spike Lee—it was the Black community in the U.S. that actually opened the door for me, and I stand on their shoulders. We fight this fight, but what happens in the U.S. has a ripple effect around the world."
Koshy’s radiant appearance and the discussions at the events underscore a deeper conversation about representation and resilience in the film industry.
