I find that Gene Tierney was one of those rare 40s actresses whose look doesn't seem dated at all. There were others just as elegant, but even so, there would be some awkward hairstyles, bulky shoulder pads, etc. But Tierney? Her styles still look pretty graceful by modern standards.Aubynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00446079492480611898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3193750673421600279.post-3511526645700003622011-12-27T17:24:01.475-08:002011-12-27T17:24:01.475-08:00When didn't Gene Tierney look fabulous in a mo...When didn't Gene Tierney look fabulous in a movie? The last thing I saw her in was "The Mating Season" in which she plays a former ambassador's daughter with no money who marries a young professional. They have little money, but Cassini dresses her in the most elegant midwest upper middle class fashions. And she's just darling in shorts and sandals.panavia999https://www.blogger.com/profile/12022750065016664499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3193750673421600279.post-14696507982854026122011-07-20T10:36:42.736-07:002011-07-20T10:36:42.736-07:00Sometimes, I get impatient with my chronological r...Sometimes, I get impatient with my chronological restrictions, as every so often I do want to rant or gush about something more contemporary. I think both of your choices are truly awe-inspiring. Maybe you should give Ming a chance, Dale. The man definitely has crazy awesome taste.Aubynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00446079492480611898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3193750673421600279.post-57959429096958360332011-07-20T10:14:28.549-07:002011-07-20T10:14:28.549-07:00I know it falls outside your usual chronology, but...I know it falls outside your usual chronology, but I have this weird fascination with the <a href="http://s1.hubimg.com/u/337104_f260.jpg" rel="nofollow">wedding dress</a> Ming the Merciless puts Dale Arden into in the 1980 version of Flash Gordon. I want one. Bad. <br /><br />I'm also partial to just about everything Shirley Maclaine wears in What A Way To Go, which is pretty much built entirely out of outre costumes. <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hg7EChN_qs4/TJwyBnS-phI/AAAAAAAADLY/DHhjtp1nOek/s1600/Pinky+Benson.jpg" rel="nofollow">This one</a>, particularly.Vulnavia Morbiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04722740955194993451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3193750673421600279.post-82183785420538125712011-07-20T09:44:59.107-07:002011-07-20T09:44:59.107-07:00Thanks, FlickChick.

There is a dove dress that makes a brief appearance in "Gone With the Wind" when Scarlett & Rhett are on their honeymoon. I would give anything to see a full length version of it.FlickChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351624749230610755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3193750673421600279.post-47768095277721549812011-07-19T15:49:04.029-07:002011-07-19T15:49:04.029-07:00Hey, Brandie.

Maybe I'll cave in at a later date and have a "Most Stunning Grace Kelly Costume" poll but for now, I want to celebrate the slightly less famous.Aubynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00446079492480611898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3193750673421600279.post-27231373334571028922011-07-19T15:42:58.403-07:002011-07-19T15:42:58.403-07:00I love these choices, particularly the Tierney dre...I love these choices, particularly the Tierney dress. And the restrictions you gave yourself are interesting--when I started thinking about my own favorites, I realized just how many of them came from Hitchcock movies and the collective Grace/Audrey cinematic closets!<br /><br />--BrandieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
