For creative director Andrew, who attended the Academy Awards earlier this year, the experience was a surreal one. As she described it, "It always starts with utter happiness for Billie and Finneas, two of the most talented humans I know." But as she looked down at her feet, she realized that she had worn Birkenstocks to the most glamorous event in Hollywood.

Her unusual outfit choice has become a lasting memory for many, including herself, "and is a testament to the power of being true to oneself," "even in the most unexpected of situations."
