Fran Drescher will always be The Nanny, but the actress is much more than that: she is a style icon. Few series have left a lasting impact on fashion the way The Nanny has, with Drescher’s character still resonating today. And while the show ended 25 years ago, Drescher’s relationship with costume designer Brenda Cooper didn’t.
Cooper is now the actor’s stylist, and for the 2024 Oscars, the two settled on a look that Fran Fine herself would approve of: a black sequin dress and a cropped blazer marked by wide shoulder pads. (Okay, maybe Fram would have preferred a mini dress, but she’s for sure appreciate the sparkles and and the blazer.)
The Ami Paris look saw Drescher bathed in sequins from head to toe. Her partially sheer checkered dress was amplified with pointy black pumps, and she carried a top-handle box bag. As for jewelry, Drescher wore long diamond earrings.
The president of the SAG-AFTRA, who oversaw negotiations during the union’s history-making strike, Drescher looked equal parts glamorous and sophisticated. Drescher has been in office since 2021 and was re-elected for another two years in 2023. Whether promoting new projects, celebrating her peers, or advocating on behalf of other actors, we’ll likely to see her on many more red carpets. Lucky us!
