To be fair, Lizzy Gardiner is a costume designer, not a couture designer. In 1995, she won an Academy Award for Best Costume Design for her work on Priscilla, Queen of the Desert — a fun, flamboyant film with over-the-top outfits. Our problem with the outfit Gardiner wore to accept her award isn't that her dress was made out of a bizarre, nontraditional material. Our problem is that the material of choice was the American Express gold card. It's tacky. And how did she sit down in that thing?
