Oscar de la Renta, the legendary fashion designer who dressed first ladies and Hollywood stars, was remembered on Tuesday for his exquisite style and generous heart.

Oscar’s career spanned five decades with tireless philanthropy.

The philanthropic, tall Dominican-born designer who died late on Monday at the age of 82, surrounded by family at his Connecticut home after a battle with cancer. Tributes poured in.

De la Renta, known for his classic, feminine creations, dressed first ladies, Republican and Democratic, including Jacqueline Kennedy, Betty Ford, Nancy Reagan, Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton.

Bill and Hillary Clinton, in a statement, said Oscar’s singular talent and exquisite taste elevated American fashion, and his warmth and friendship will be missed by our family and all whose lives he touched in his extraordinary journey.

One of his most recent designs was the lace, off-the-shoulder wedding gown he created for human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin for her September wedding to actor George Clooney in Venice, Italy.
