I found this picture and I had to post it. Recognize the ladies in the middle? If not, it's Clara Bow and Jean Harlow in a photo from the late 1920's film "The Saturday Night Kid". All the girls are so adorable, and so are their dresses! Clara Bow's wardrobe for the film didn't fit, so she passed it on to the then unknown actress Jean Harlow, who was very grateful and apparently never forgot the favor. Obviously Clara, being the huge star that she was, must of had the most desirable and gorgeous wardrobes for her films. I love the dress Clara is wearing in the above photo, the buttons, the pleated skirt, the collar, so beautiful! All the girls look so great.
Although this film was made in 1960's, the time period of the movie was Edwardian. Wow, and the gowns are just amazing! It's no surprise that it won the oscar that year for best costumes. Audrey Hepburn shines in each and every outfit, showcasing not only stunning dresses, but incredible hats, gloves and jewelry. I just wonder how many of the costumes were authentic Edwardian period garments, and how many were reproduction designs?
