Beloved fashion designer Oscar de la Renta died yesterday at the age of 82. He was known for his timelessly beautiful, yet wearable garments. Dresses that defined red-carpet style. First ladies turned to him ever since his ensembles helped crown Jackie O as a fashion icon. And actresses Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams are just some of his devoted followers.
