She is a fighter in the face of challenge, and that’s very inspiring.”
She is a woman who has a presence and an understanding of her style, reflecting her intelligence and strength. She’s beautiful inside and out, confident, strong, kind, and ever accomplishing. “Marlee truly embodies the woman I design for. “This is an exciting moment for us we wanted to create something uniquely special that would celebrate the brand’s history and aesthetic while reflecting the next chapter,” she says. When brainstorming the first custom red carpet look created during her tenure (and the brand’s 25-year history), Smith sought to reflect the label’s ethos and Matlin’s charm. Given the significance of CODA’s nominations, Matlin wanted a SAG Awards look worthy of the occasion and enlisted Lafayette 148 creative director, Emily Smith, to create a dress that felt timeless. “I’m so proud of the entire cast and crew.”
“Audiences have reacted so positively to CODA, Hollywood may finally understand how you can tell a good story that is an audience pleaser while being inclusive, authentic, and diverse,” Matlin shared pre-show. Still, for its star Marlee Matlin, the landmark moment is only the beginning. That such a milestone is only occurring in 2022 illustrates how much further Hollywood needs to go in terms of inclusion. The indie drama about a deaf family and their hearing daughter took home top honors, becoming the first film with a predominantly deaf cast to do so. Last night at the SAG Awards, the cast of CODA made history.
