Speaking on that night after she watched the clip from the historical moment, the legendary entertainer said,
“I looked really good.
“My hair was cool. Dress was cute.”
Goldberg chose a black sequined column gown from veteran costume
designer Nolan Miller (with whom she’d worked on 1991’s “Soapdish” and
who designed clothes for her mentor Elizabeth Taylor): “I couldn’t look
glamorous like other people look glamorous. I wasn’t thin and I wasn’t a
white lady, so I had to find my own style.”
Check out some of her stunning looks from the shoot.
