Marilyn Monroe’s White Pleated Dress
The image of the buxom Marilyn Monroe standing above the subway grate in the “Seven Year Itch” while her white pleated halter dress flutters in the wind is forever ingrained in most of our minds.
Princess Diana’s Wedding Dress
Talk about a princess moment. The People’s Princess wore this multi-layered tulle frock for her wedding to Prince Charles, in 1981. While I find the material too overwhelming, I still gasp when I see it because its such a historic moment. Plus, it was the 80s, the era of, a little too much.
Jacqueline Kennedy’s Pink Chanel Suit
This pink Chanel suit is so powerful that it stood out amidst JFK’s assassination. Kennedy refused to remove the blood splattered suit following the murder, stating “I want the bastards to see what they’ve done to Jack.”
Audrey Hepburn’s LBD From Breakfast at Tiffany’s
Audrey Hepburn (Holly Golightly) singlehandedly propelled the classic LBD into the fashion archives and also carved her place in fashion history.
Dorothy’s Gingham Dress
Who could forget Dorothy’s (Judy Garland) blue dress from the 1939 adaptation of the “Wizard Of Oz.” I think it’s charm lies in its sweet, almost virginal disposition. The pigtails, the ribbons in her hair and the ankle socks only add to its appeal.
