One Dress a Day Challenge
November: Oscar winners
Samson and Delilah / Hedy Lamarr as Delilah
Year: 1950
Designers: Edith Head, Dorothy Jeakins, Elois Jenssen, Gile Steele and Gwen Wakeling
I've meant to revisit this spectacular dress ever since it first featured in Coeli's picks, and since today was Hedy Lamarr's birthday, this seems an appropriate time. Delilah wears a jaw-dropping array of costumes in this film, each one more sumptuous than the last. Just when you think they couldn't possibly top the last one, she shows up for the finale in this peacock gown!
The cape is lavishly adorned with real feathers. Legend says they were "donated" by the peacocks owned by Paramount Studios!
The costume was part of Debbie Reynolds' collection, and it has survived in remarkably good condition.
