Oscar de la Renta’s Death: Reactions on Twitter from Celebrities and Public Figures

The death of Oscar de la Renta, the legendary and iconic fashion designer, came as a shock to the fashion and entertainment world as many have taken to Twitter to react. The trailblazing designer was 82 years old. His sudden passing brought forth condolences, tributes and remembrances from major figures in fashion, Hollywood, entertainment and the world at large. Here is a roundup of what is being said.




The sad news broke late on a Monday evening, already Tuesday in many parts of the world. And indeed Oscar de la Renta was renown all over the world and had been for five decades. Active up until his death from cancer, his most recent coup was designing the gorgeous wedding gown of Amal Alamuddin who married George Clooney in Italy.

But his legacy is inestimable; not least, he dressed every U.S. First Lady from Jacqueline Kennedy to Michelle Obama. Many a Hollywood A lister has worn his creations on the red carpet; too many to name, but again, fairly recently, at the Met Gala, Amy Adams.

As news of his death spread quickly in major media, so too in social media where the lure of the instantaneous Twitter tribute has become standard. Here is a roundup of the condolences and remembrances.







Reactions continue to dominate social media, Twitter in particular, where #RIPOscarDeLaRenta continues to be a trending topic as the world of fashion, Hollywood, entertainment and more pay tribute to an icon of fashion who, like all true icons is irreplaceable.
