Rachel Weiszarrived at the 2019 Oscars dressed to impress.
“We just thought it was really cool,” her stylist Kate Young told PEOPLE exclusively. “It feels fancy and couture and sort of old world in a way but yet super modern.”
The star accessorized her hair with two silver Cartier feather pins from 1903 for an elegant pop.
“We basically had to sew them into her hair. I wanted to use old jewelry and do it in a way that felt really chic, current, clean and minimal,” Young added.

Weisz was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role as the manipulative duchess of Marlborough inThe Favourite.

The actress had a lot of fun with the part. “My favorite moments fromThe Favouriteare the scenes where I teach Emma Stone to shoot guns and then she becomes much better than me,” the actress revealed, referencing pointed exchanges between the two characters where Weisz is trying to establish dominance over Stone’s seemingly naive Abigail. Marlborough’s plan doesn’t pan out exactly as she thought it would.
The Yorgos Lanthimos–directed film has a total of 10 nominations. Weisz, who previously won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for 2005’sThe Constant Gardenerstar is nominated in the same category again this year, along with herFavouritecostar Stone,If Beale Street Could Talk‘s star Regina King,Vice’s Amy Adams, andRoma’s Marina de Tavira.

Weisz, who appears inPEOPLE’s Oscar Portfolio, also took the time to answer a few questions from editor-in-chief Jess Cagle.
She says she always carries “a chapstick” in her purse for awards shows and that one performance she could watch over and over again is Ingrid Bergman’s in 1944’s Best Picture winnerCasablanca. One thing Weisz will be looking forward to eating afterthe Oscarsceremony is “a burger.”
