Wiendish Fitch October 21 Author Share October 21 In my not so humble opinion, no screen couple has ever pulled off his n' her G-strings as phenomenally as Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan in Tarzan and His Mate (1934). Hot damn. 4 Link to comment
Spartan Girl October 21 Share October 21 (edited) Pretty sexy even for back then! In light of the announcement of a Carrie series (Mike Flanagan is good, so I’m curious), the one thing that is consistently good in all versions of the movie is that Carrie’s pink dress is absolutely beautiful. 1976 2002 2013 All versions of the dress are lovely, but I have a soft spot for the original 1976 gown, because that sleek sheath was a swan among those tacky frilly 70s prom fashions. Also, take that, Andy from Pretty in Pink, Carrie makes way better prom dresses than you! Edited October 21 by Spartan Girl 6 2 Link to comment

I've said it before, I'll say it again: one could absolutely wear it today and receive compliments. Light pink certainly isn't everyone's favorite color, but I think it's a color that looks good on nearly everyone. 2 Link to comment
Spartan Girl October 22 Share October 22 I’d kind of like it if the Mike Flanagan series changes the dress back to red like it originally was in the book. Stephen King described it as made of crushed red velvet with Juliet sleeves and a princess skirt. So…a different look than the movie pink gown, but one that could still look good. 1 Link to comment
Palimelon October 22 Share October 22 I wonder if it was changed so that the pig blood would stand out more? 1 Link to comment

I’d argue that the second one is very much a homemade style dress and thus wouldn’t stick out in modern fashions, and as for the shoes, let’s remember that Carrie didn’t have a lot of money. I think they’re fine though. Link to comment
Palimelon October 23 Share October 23 The actress in the second movie (in that picture, anyway) looks like the answer to "What if Marcia Cross and Jennifer Garner had a baby together?". Link to comment

Okay. I don't like them, is all I said. Link to comment
Wiendish Fitch October 27 Author Share October 27 Cinderella (2021) was absolute trash, but Minnie Driver's ensemble at the ball wasn't! I have to say, she easily outshone Camilla Cabello! 1 1 Link to comment
Palimelon October 27 Share October 27 (edited) That actress behind her reminds me of Maisie Williams and her facial expression is saying she is about to go all Arya on Minnie's ass ("Should I use her own tiara to kill her or choke her with parts of her own outfit?").

Wiendish Fitch October 28 Author Share October 28 I griped about the awful bonnets in 1940's Pride and Prejudice in the Fashion Don'ts thread, but here's an example of a bonnet done right: Melanie (Olivia de Havilland) in Gone with the Wind: just the right size, frames and flatters her face, cute little lacy detail, and completed with that pretty pink ribbon. A+, Walter Plunkett!! 4 Link to comment
Wiendish Fitch November 1 Author Share November 1 (edited) Ginger Rogers's "Let's Face the Music and Dance" dress from Follow the Fleet has been living rent free in my head lately. It's one of those dresses that shouldn't work, but does. The fur collar is not my thing, but Rogers pulls it off well, and I love the neck to toe sparkles, form-hugging fit, and the bell sleeves (which allegedly smacked Fred Astaire in the face all the time).

Bastet November 2 Share November 2 I like that one, other than the fur, if for no other reason than it doesn't look horribly uncomfortable like most of the dresses posted here. 2 Link to comment
Wiendish Fitch November 5 Author Share November 5 Yeah, At Long Last Love (1975) is a legendary bomb, but at least the wardrobe is something to look at, especially Cybill Shepherd (center)'s ensemble here. The feathered hat is too snazzy, and who else is coveting those two-toned pumps? 3 Link to comment
