During a photo shoot with his wife Catherine Martin and daughter, Lillian, the 60-year-old wore a $263,000 necklace by David Webb. A total of eight nominations were given to Elvis, including Best Picture, Best Costume Design for Catherine Martin, and Best Actor for Austin Butler.

He shared its picture on Instagram with the caption, An elegant statement of sophistication. Butler was widely expected to beat Fraser at the Academy Awards. Fraser won the trophy in the end. It was surprising that Luhrmann’s biographical film performed so poorly overall. New York Post reports that it lost in all eight categories in which it was nominated, including Best Hair and Makeup Styling.

It was a show-stopping arrival for Baz Luhrmann at Sunday’s Oscars. During the awards ceremony, the Australian director, 60, posed with his wife Catherine Martin and daughter Lillian wearing a $263,000 necklace by David Webb. Featuring carved jade as the centerpiece, brilliant-cut diamonds and black enamel encircle the piece. As he posed on the Dolby Theatre’s champagne carpet in a black suede jacket and matching pants, Baz ensured his necklace was on display. To emphasize the jewellery, Baz Luhrmann wore a plain white shirt with shiny black shoes to complete his look. In a navy sequinned dress with a gold border around the neckline and base, Baz’s wife Catherine sparkled. She accessorized her ensemble with chunky gold heels, making her the most awarded Australian in Oscar history. A well-known collaborator with her husband, Catherine has worked on numerous films including Moulin Rouge.
Lillian, 19, looked glamorous as she embraced her father on the red carpet in a gold sequinned dress. Her hair was tied up and her makeup consisted of nude lipstick and eyeshadow. Director Baz Luhrmann has been nominated for Best Picture for the acclaimed biopic Elvis, which tells the story of the legendary singer Elvis Presley. As a result of her work on the same film, Catherine is nominated for Best Costume Design. Priscilla Presley is portrayed by Olivia de Jong; Tom Hanks is the infamous manager of Elvis. Austin Butler provides the voice of the King of Rock and Roll. Elvis’ untimely death at the age of 42 in 1977 is featured in this film, which traces his rise from poverty through his emergence as the world’s biggest star.
