Canadian Oscar winner Shane Vieau makes a splash with his onstage attire
Canadian Oscar winner Shane Vieau made a splash not just by getting his trophy on Sunday — but also with his attire.
As Vieau accepted his Oscar alongside fellow Canadians Paul Austerberry and Jeffrey A. Melvin for best production design on “The Shape of Water,” he had Twitter abuzz with comments on his outfit.
The set decorator, who hails from Dartmouth, N.S., was wearing sunglasses, a tuxedo jacket with sleeves that barely covered his elbows, and Adidas sneakers.
“I had the suit built from Harry Rosen as a custom-built and anyone who knows me (knows) I’m an Adidas guy, I always wear Adidas head to toe,” Vieau said in a phone interview with The Canadian Press after the show.
