Costume designer ignores ‘bag lady’ jibe as she collects Oscar in M&S pleather jacket
Mr Fry deleted his social media accounts earlier this month, after he got flack for comparing Mad Max costume designer Jenny Beavan to a “bag lady” as she picked up a BAFTA.
The pair maintain they are close friends, but after complaints from Twitter users that his comments were “sexist”, Fry slammed “nasty” criticism and quit the platform.
Beavan picked up an Oscar last night for her work on the film – and again surprised many in the audience by collecting her award wearing a pleather-jacket-and-scarf combo.
