At the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday, Palmer modeled a vintage Chanel gown from the French fashion house’s fall 1985 collection. The strapless velvet shift, which features intricate gold embroidery, was previously worn by Jamie Lee Curtis at the First Annual American Cinematheque Award Salute to Eddie Murphy in 1986.

Palmer accessorized with matching elbow-length gloves, Brilliant Earth earrings and a red lip. The classic shade was also worn by Selena Gomez and Mikey Madison at the SAG Awards.

Speaking to WWD earlier this month, the actress opened up about working on her latest film, which she also executive produced. “One of Them Days,” a buddy comedy, costars SZA.

“I know for me as an artist, I want to make stuff that makes me laugh and hopefully makes other people laugh because I feel like we already know we’re in hell.
