Albert Wolsky is a French-born costume designer active in film since the 1960s. He was born in Paris and graduated from City College in New York. After a brief stint in the travel industry, Wolsky began working for costume designer Helene Pons on the Broadway production of “Camelot” in 1960. Wolsky’s first film credit was the 1968 production THE HEART IS A LONELY HUNTER. He has been nominated for seven Academy Awards and received two for his work on ALL THAT JAZZ (1979) and BUGSY (1991).
The San Vicente Bungalows in Los Angeles were buzzing with legendary artisans on Wednesday as The Hollywood Reporter and Bvlgari celebrated this year’s Academy Award-nominated costume designers: Ruth E. Carter (Sinners), Malgosia Turzanska (Hamnet), Kate Hawley (Frankenstein), Deborah L. Scott (Avatar: Fire and Ash) and Miyako Bellizzi (Marty Supreme).
They say you’re never fully dressed without a smile, and Cena did eventually sport one of those, plus Birkenstocks and an oversized envelope, when he took the stage to present the Academy Award for costume design to Poor Things costumer Holly Waddington.
