West Side Story star Rita Moreno isn't the only one who re-wore their dress at the Oscars.

Girls Trip star Tiffany Haddish wore her beloved white Alexander McQueen number she'd already donned while guest hosting Saturday Night Live.

Plus, it was the same $4,000 dress she'd already worn on the red carpet for the film's premiere. Haddish is really maximising that cost-per-wear logic and we love it.

Haddish delivered one hell of a monologue about the dress in November, when she talked about her net worth, and the fact that she was told it was "taboo" to wear her premiere dress for her SNL gig.

"It's a $4,000 dress. I'm going to wear this dress multiple times," she said in her SNL monologue. "I feel like I should be able to wear what I want, when I want, however many times I want, as long as I Febreze it."

Haddish donned the gown to present the Academy Awards for Best Animated/Live Action Short alongside fellow SNL favourite Maya Rudolph — both with their heels off.

People who picked up on it sung Haddish's praises.

It wasn't the only dress she wore at the Oscars though, and her red carpet choice had a beautiful story behind it.
