Clothes from films set during 1950s

  • Edith Head’s costume design for Vertigo demonstrates the power of clothes in forming identities on-screen.

  • Groundbreaking film La Dolce Vita offers a conflicting portrayal of masculinity.

  • Unquestionably the most historically significant outfit Katie Holmes as Jackie Kennedy wears in the show is her rose pink tweed suit.

  • This coral pink ensemble encompasses and challenges the absolute femininity of Grace Kelly.

  • This is the most fun and elaborate outfit Grace Kelly wears in To Catch a Thief.

  • As worn by Grace Kelly, this floaty, conspicuous dress is an appreciable nod to Dior’s ‘New Look’ of the late 1940s.

  • Christie’s are auctioning several Edith Head sketches for costume designs worn by Grace Kelly.

  • To celebrate Grease Sing-a-Long coming to Vue cinemas this month, we have five goodie bags to give away. Go Rydell!

  • James Dean in a pair of Lee 101 Riders jeans was the birth of the American teenager.

  • Well made and well acted, but ruined by a jarring tone.

  • A solitary official image from The Tourist starring Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp. Contemporary costume design by Coleen Atwood.

  • Sandy looks lovely, arguably lovelier than The Pink Ladies, but she looks like the sweet young lady a mother-in-law would adore.
