They Just Don't 'Em Like They Used To!!!

So, late TMC has been playing some of the most fabulous movies and I love watching them just as much for the plot as to drool over the amazing clothes. I thought it would be fun to post a few of my favorite outfits/dresses that came to mind from old movies!
Grace Kelly, "To Catch a Thief". The white dress she wears in this movie is absolutely stunning!


Audrey's famous Givency dress in "Sabrina". Perhaps my favorite of all!

"Roman Holiday", I love this chic little outfit with those sandels, too cute. Such effortless looking style.

Ingrid Bergman in "Notorious". Everything she wears in this movie is so gorgeous. Cary Grant of course, is always looking good.

I wonder if actresses were tempted to steal their wardrobe after they finished a movie, or if they were allowed to keep any of it. After all, it was custom made for them. I know I would want to!
Wishing you all a lovely Monday!

  1. In this day and age most actresses have it in their contract to keep the clothing, but I am not sure of what the policy was in the past.

  2. I beleive they did get to keep their clothes; infact actresses made very little money as i've heard, quite often they got paid majoritively in clothing or cars etc. At least I know this was the case for Marilyn.
