Costumes from 1950's Films

After watching White Christmas for the first time in a very long time, it reminded me of how it was practically a ritual for my mother to gather the family into the living room to watch classic 50's films. They were always very extravagant and fun to watch, but there was one element in particular that always has-and still does-intrigue me: the costumes! Here are some of my favorites...
                                                                                            
                                                                                        Eva-Marie Saint- North by Northwest

    

 

                                 Grace Kelly- Rear Window

                                                                                                     

Leslie Caron- An American in Paris

                                                                                                                      Rosemary Clooney & Vera Miles- White Christmas
   
                                                      Rita Hayworth- Gilda   

 Grace Kelly- High Society

                                     Audrey Hepburn- Roman Holiday

 Audrey Hepburn- Funny Face (don't you just adore her?!)

Does this inspire you to wear gloves and a petticoat under your dress? I think I'll have to try my own version of the look!
