Legendary 'West Side Story' actress re-wore her dress from the 1962 Oscars for 2018 red carpet

Iconic West Side Story actress Rita Moreno dusted off her dress from the 1962 Oscars for this year's ceremony at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre.
Now 86, Moreno wore this stunning black and gold number the year she accepted the award for Best Supporting Actress for West Side Story. She's one of just 12 people to have won an Oscar, Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Award.

Moreno then reflected on the previous night she'd worn the dress. “I had no idea I was going to win, I was sure it was going to be Judy Garland for Judgment at Nuremberg. I flew in from Manila in the Philippines just in case, which is where this gown was made.”
Here's the dress in 1962:
