The Taming of the Shrew / Costume for Elizabeth Taylor as Katharina Minola(?)
I'm tremendously curious about this gown. It appeared in an exhibit titled "Glamour: Famous Gowns of the Silver Screen" in Finland in 2020. FrockFlicks did a a fine writeup of the exhibit in which they dubbed this the "unicorn dress." But it doesn't appear in the actual film!
It looks like an alternate version of the wedding dress, possibly intended to make Katharina match more closely with Petruchio's outlandish multicolored costume--but that's just a guess. If it wasn't used, why was it constructed? And was it designed by Irene Sharaff, who did Elizabeth Taylor's other gowns for this film, or by Danilo Donati, who designed everyone else's costumes?
December 10, 1967 - Press photo caption: Beatle Paul McCartney and his girlfriend Jane Asher sat watching T.V. in a Glasgow hotel on Sunday (10-12-67)🌺
They are on their way to spend a week's holiday at Paul's farm near Campbelltown, Argyll. They are taking their Old English sheepdog Martha with them. But trouble with the fan belt and heater of Paul's car meant they had to break their journey from Liverpool. When they arrived unannounced at the hotel, receptionist 17-year-old Elspeth Burns - a Beatle fan - was so excited she could hardly speak. The manager, Tony Baraglia, 25, said, "The receptionist could only gasp 'Paul McCartney's out there. He's got a dog. Can he take him?' We don't normally take dogs but the hotel is quiet and we wouldn't have refused Paul anyway." Photo from an ebay auction listing sample scan. From the 16 Magazine archives, published in 1968🍀
Two for the Road / Audrey Hepburn as Joanna Wallace
This outfit only appears onscreen for a few seconds, when Mike and Joanna arrive at a beach resort. It was designed by Michèle Rosier, who also created the famous (and uncomfortable) black PVC pantsuit that Joanna wears in another scene. In the film, she also wears the Oliver Goldsmith "YUHU" sunglasses that this movie helped to popularize, although they don't appear in some of the publicity shots.
I'm not sure whether Joanna is meant to be wearing it over her two-piece beach lounging outfit or whether she changes after checking in. The alternating yellow and clear panels on the jacket create an interesting effect, meaning that the look would be substantially different depending on what shirt is worn underneath it.
Thanks to @northernmariette for reminding me of this costume!
