Barbra Streisand, 1969 - TIME's Best and Worst Academy Awards Outfits

The 41st Academy Awards were not kind to Barbra Streisand. Not only did the legendary entertainer have to share her 1969 Best Actress award with Katharine Hepburn (in a historic tie), but she also appeared in this. What is it? It seems to be a sheer pantsuit with bell-bottoms and a white butterfly collar. Designed by Arnold Scaasi, the outfit (or whatever you want to call it) was sheer all around — including Streisand's barely covered behind.
