They did say that they would not include period movies, hence Gone With the Wind would not qualify for this list. Great costumes in this period movie, also the 1950's Ben Hur had some interesting pieces.
David O Selznick demanded all the fabrics be authentic and even the lace on the pantiloons and petticoats. Olivia De Havilland said it wasn't important as 'nobody will even know'? David O Selznick said "I will know"
@@suzyfarnham3165 authentic from when? the costumes had little resemblance to historical accuracy. if the costume designers had left the curtain rod in scarlett's drape dress, a la Bob Mackie, they would have achieved better authenticity.
Love them all but you should have included Jan Marrow, aka Doris Day, from Pillow Talk. Every outfit is simply stunning. costume/fashion designer was Jean Louis.
Oh yes, especially in contrast with the gorgeous red-roses dress Eva Marie Saint wears in one scene. One of my favourite Hitchcock movies and visually stunning too.
These are all beautiful! I would have put Lisa Fremont from ‘Rear Window’ a bit higher, though. I always loved the fashion of Elizabeth Taylor’s character in ‘Cat on a Hot Tin Roof’, as well!
Along with Audrey and Grace I think Lauren Bacall was also one of the best dressed old hollywood actresses. She always looked stunning, well put togehter and classy but she made it seem effortlessly cause her personality, presence, sense of humour and intelligence shined as much as her looks. Specially in films like "Designing Woman", "How to marry a millionaire" and "The big sleep".
Holly Golightly is a icon , she is perfect , her looks are timeless, the movie is pretty good , i know her is the main character , but i think Fred's character is also pretty cool and perfect for her
Bette Davis was mesmerizing as Margo Channing in ALL ABOUT EVE. That scene when she is on the stairs and she says " fasten your seatbelts it's going to be a bumpy night" is a classic. Bette wore a beautiful gown and she looked gorgeous.
Dorothy Dandridge in “Carmen Jones,” Bette Davis in “Now Voyager,” the ballgown in “Sabrina,” Shirley MacLaine in “What a Way to Go,” Faye Dunaway in “Bonnie & Clyde”
The video only included movies from 1934 to 1968. But they slept on some truly stylish pre-Code characters. Not just Marlene, but Jean Harlow in Hell’s Angels, Norma Shearer in the Divorcee, Mae West in She Done Him Wrong…
The execution of the concept in your video is truly remarkable, immersing us in the bygone era of 1960s Hollywood and then offering an intimate and inspiring glimpse into the lives of these actors today.
I would have included Shirley MacLaine in "What a Way To Go" where she played everything from a country housewife to a high glamour millionaire's wife.
It's no wonder why she's considered one of the most iconic women of the 50s along with Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly, Dorothy Dandridge, etc. There was supposed to be a Audrey Hepburn biopic, but that got canceled. I'm sure that biopic would been good.
The transformative costume looks achieved in "Now, Voyager" (1942) by Bette Davis's character Charlotte Vale as she goes from a dowdy 1940's spinster to a Venus swan emerging from her shell. Orry-Kelly's costume designs show the fashion of the times in a variety of ways from youthful to middle-aged to mature women and men. Also, the costumes of Myra (Vivien Leigh) in "Waterloo Bridge" (1940) are classic and show a broad range of fashion during the war years. Myra literally is a swan who blossoms from her role as a ballerina to incandescent love after finding her fiancé has not been killed on the battlefield.
My sister likes the costumes in Meet Me in St. Louis. The dresses are colorful, elegant, and change with the seasons in the movie. In the 2021 remake of West side Story, blues and reds are used to tell the Sharks and Jets apart in the gym dance scene except for Maria and Tony.
Whitney Houston also imitated the Jo Stafford look in the "I'm Your Baby Tonight" video. There's definitely room for a sequel to this with both Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell in "Gentleman Prefer Blondes", Jane Wyman in "Lucy Gallant" and Melina Mercoui in "Topkapi" - who seemed to have costume changes within minutes of scenes! For 60s mod looks there was the whole Dean Martin Matt Helm series highlighting Ann-Margret, Stella Stevens, Sharon Tate and Dahlia Lavi to name some!
YESSS JANE WYMAN!!!!!! I loved her in Lucy Gallant and her outfits were brilliant and done by the talented Edith Head! No one mentions Jane and it makes me so sad. I love her so much ❤
Not including Sabrina is crazy to me. The outfit she wears on the tennis court. The outfit she wears at the train station when she returns from Paris. And all the others. Givenchy, Baby!
I also admired Tippi Hedron's costumes in The Birds. And Sunset Blvd is one of my favorites. Every time I get to the end where Norma Desmond says, "Alright Mr. Demille. I'm ready for my closeup." I have to laugh remembering the late, great Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire. RIP Dear Robin. We miss you (and I would love to hear your take on the politics of today!)
And what about Elizabeth Taylor over the years? Her make-up in Cleopatra, her medium cut black hair, her kaftans in late 60s pictures - a look for every age.
*MY FAVORITES:* Holly Golighty - Breakfast at Tiffany's Gilda - Gilda Sabrina Fairchild - Sabrina Jo Stockton - Funny Face Jerry Tarvers & Dale Tremont - Top Hat The Girl - The Seven Year Itch Rick Blaine & Ilsa Lund - Casablanca Tracy Samantha Lord - The Philadelphia Story The Cast of West Side Story Angela Vickers - A Place in the Sun
My dad had a jacket just like James Dean’s before “Rebel with a Cause” came out. As for Rita Hayworth in “Gilda,” I prefer her white gown with the slit skit, even if I can’t see a black strapless gown without thinking of her.
katharine hebpburn or audrey hepburn outfits are always on point they're always look nice in anything but julie andrews in this era not featured but anything marilyn wore was divine and glamorous always has lots of bling
Yessss! I loved the Baroness Shreider’s Red and white ensemble and her ball gown! But I have been obsessed with the red and white dress for many decades!
I remember reading that the white organza wedding dress in Philadelphia Story inspired sales of over 500,000 copies in big US stores. I think it was designed by Oleg Cassini (Gene Tierney's husband).
It was Adrian. The original in the stage play was designed by Valentina. Adrian adapted all the clothes for Hepburn and also designed the wedding dress. He was also the King of shoulder pads ..ala Joan Crawford. Oleg Cassini was the go to for Jackie Kennedy after JFK told her she must wear American made. He designed her Inauguration dress and cape and became the designer of The Jackie Look. Her pink suit she wore the day of the assassination was a Chanel suit but made in America by Chez Ninon from Chanel patterns, fabric and buttons!
Some of these are not staylish just how people use to dress in that decade (Casablanca, Vertigo). Edith Head was mentioned a lot but not a single Adrian film. Which is some of the most stylish (Jean Harlow/ Dinner at Eight), ( Joan Crawford and Rosalind Russel / The Women), Garbo in any film of the late 20s to mid 30s and I’m shocked Marlene Dietrich in Shanghai Express was snubbed.
It’s a little known gem of a movie, but Natalie Wood’s character in THE GREAT RACE wears some high fashion ensembles for that time period. Her character is of high society and she never wears the same dress twice.
Lisa Carol Fremont should be higher on this list, Scarlett O'Hara not being on this list is a crime, Helen Brent (Claire Trevor) in Born to Kill is an absolute fashionista, I'm sure Ms. Mojo have never heard of that picture, You people need to see more film, It's embarrassing your limited scope of Hollywood history.
When you mentioned Audrey Hepburn's dance in the tight black clothes and white socks, you also mentioned the GAP ad and Beyonce, but you left out Michael Jackson.
