I am forever having to remind myself to use good posture and smile (I have "resting bitch face" for lack of a better term :) excuse my pedestrian use of language ). I think even a pair of sweats can look incredible on a woman whose confidence shine through. <br />-L AL Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11244092188450849724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4374594538719761301.post-22072532140876313722014-05-10T07:21:29.381-04:002014-05-10T07:21:29.381-04:00I think it's a combination of a good film with...I think it's a combination of a good film with a good designer and often times a good actress. There are plenty of stunning designs that go wasted on crappy films, but the ones that are most iconic are known through good films. For example, I am in love with the Edith Head Rear Window dress. If you Google "Grace Kelly dress", along with her wedding dress of course, the results will show the Rear Window dress. That was an excellent movie, but had it bombed I doubt anyone would pay much mind to what Kelly was wearing. I watched Bus Stop not too long ago and I hated it, so much so that I can't even recall what Monroe was wearing. I'm sure she looked voluptuous as always, but her character was so obnoxious that I didn't even notice!Ladyfairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17402600337611206195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4374594538719761301.post-59260278551915419422014-05-10T05:38:51.170-04:002014-05-10T05:38:51.170-04:00Very true!

A great sense of style, like Rome, wasn't built in a day for anyone, famous or not, and many women who are now revered for their sartorial looks wore other types of fashions for years (or even decades in some cases), while in the spotlight, before developing the tried and true wardrobe formulas for which they are now so (rightfully) well know. I think that point really shines through in the fact that many of the most iconic starlets are best known for the looks they sported from their 30s onward (Grace Kelly, Katharine Hepburn, Barbara Streisand, etc). <br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4374594538719761301.post-1969571459025137642014-05-09T19:55:31.466-04:002014-05-09T19:55:31.466-04:00It's a combination of so many elements isn'...It's a combination of so many elements isn't it? I think when you have a well-fitted outfit it creates a sense of confidence. These starlets also had wonderful photographers and people around them to create the right look but there are certain starlets that will remain timeless.
