Clothes from films set during 1950s

  • Designer outfits belonging to Audrey Hepburn were sold in London yesterday. Her black cocktail dress by Givenchy for How to Steal a Million reaching £60,000.

  • One of the most famous costumes in Grease comes from Cha-Cha DiGregorio in her ruffled Flamenco-style dress at the dance-off.

  • Of course Rear Window wasn’t all about Grace Kelly…

  • Trailer two for Shutter Island hits the net. Leonardo DiCaprio and co revisit serious 1950s fashions.

  • Specialist websites suggest for a Pink Lady we need their jacket and a poodle skirt, but what do the girls really wear and why?

  • Betty ‘Rizzo’ played by Stockard Channing is not only the most complex character in Grease, but in costume terms fascinating.

  • Denim youth culture is not something we readily associate with Grace Kelly, though she carries the look off well here.

  • While still alluring, as practically anything is on Grace Kelly, this is perhaps her least successful outfit overall from Rear Window (1954, as Lisa Fremont). The jacket seems slightly too long and loose for the slenderness of the skirt; it doesn’t fit Kelly’s figure as comfortably as it might. However even with its faults the suit still reflects a vital side of Lisa’s complex personality: her professional, tailored femininity.

  • This stylish grey Glen check suit from North by Northwest is certainly his most well known.

  • This might be the most famous and copied outfit Grace Kelly ever wore.
