Puzzle of a Downfall Child

Network

This scene is cut from the version I have, but she does wear Chanel on a fashion trip to Paris in PUZZLE OF A DOWNFALL CHILD.

The Thomas Crown Affair

The Happening

Faye being told she doesn't look equally fabulous in ALL her films:

This hat in LAURA MARS is really stupid, however

(and Yes, I'm over posting in this thread!)

Bonnie and Clyde

I actually hated her twee pastel wardrobe in "Thomas Crown", it was all wrong for her freaky bitch character.

Now this I love, when hacking up a rose garden with an axe, always wear a fabulous evening gown with a full tulle skirt!

The judges prefer:

In Supergirl (the final battle)

Damn actresses were so skinny back then, weren't they?

It's true no one else in Hollywood could wear clothing as beautifully as she could in the late 60s and 70s. Not Fonda, not Farrow, not Streisand, not Taylor.

Her look in "The Thomas Crown Affair"... really gorgeous. She was beautiful in "Bonnie and Clyde".

R18, Dunaway was unusually skinny fore her time. In the late sixties and early seventies curves were in, and Raquel Welch was considered to have the ideal figure. It wasn't until the late seventies and eighties that being "coke-thin" became fashionable.

But that's probably why some of you admire the way Dunaway wore clothes.

Yes, being extremely thin and fashion did not go together before the late 70s, r21. It was completely an invention of the Studio 54 era.

High fashion was just not made for skinny women until the Carter administration.

It was rumored (especially during her prime run ca.1968-1978) that Dunaway was quite different in her private life from the exquisitely dressed, coiffed, and made-up confection in her movies. She was alleged to show up on set looking like a homeless person: uncombed, unkempt, in hideous clothes, often late, reeking of cigarettes and heaven knows what.

She must have taken hours in hair and make-up. (Considering the era, her hairstyles are chic and gorgeous even today, unlike many of her contemporaries.)

The magic of film....

Twiggy was a startling exception in her brief heyday, R23, she looked nothing like the typical model of her day.

Most models of the late sixties were much taller than Twiggy and had a little curvature. Not much, but they had hips and waists and thighs that weren't thinner than their knees. Modelling agencies of the day would actually reject girls who didn't have at least a 10' differential between waist and hips.

I so wish women wouldn't let half their breasts hanging out.

The miniseries EVITA PERON (1981) had an enormous costume budget, for William Travilla (who also did VALLEY OF THE DOLLS)

Simple but elegant.

Does her son Liam like to wear her clothes?

It's for an ad for Parco and not a film outfit but, well, it's just too fabulous not to include in this thread...
