2. H.E.R. was inspired by Prince

H.E.R. was inspired by Prince’s music and bold style when she attended the Oscars in 2021. When the singer was nominated for best original song at the awards, she wore a semi-sheer Dundas jumpsuit featuring wide-leg trousers, a hood and glittering embellishments.

The designer behind the brand, Peter Dundas, told InStyle that month that he used Prince’s sequin outfit from the 1985 Academy Awards as his vision. The iconic artist won the award for best original score for “Purple Rain” at the ceremony.

“H.E.R. expressed how Prince has been a lifetime inspiration for her and had built the foundation for her musical identity,” Dundas said.

Stylist Wouri Vice also told the outlet that because Prince is one of H.E.R.’s favourite artists, they “decided to channel that winning energy”.

Although Union wore a different gown to the actual event on September 13, 2021, she wore a custom-made Samantha Black dress earlier in the day in a tribute to Tyson. The acclaimed actress died in January of that year aged 96.

“My tribute to an American icon. I wanted to honour Ms. Cicely Tyson and the dress she wore to the 1974 Emmys (one of my favourite red carpet looks of all time) by asking one of my favourite designers to create this dress as an homage to Ms Tyson,” Union wrote in an Instagram post in September 2021.

Union’s minidress utilised the same colours, print and flowing silhouette as Tyson’s gown.
