WATCH: Rita Moreno recycles her Oscars dress from 1962

Rita Moreno didn't have to look too far for her 2018 Oscars dress: it was hanging in her closet.

The EGOT winner said during the ABC pre-show that she is wearing the same dress she wore to the ceremony in 1962, when she won the best supporting actress award for her role in "West Side Story."

She did not say who designed the gown, though she did mention that it was made in the Philippines.
