This spectacular gown, covered in nearly 2,000,000 hand-sewn glass bugle beads, was designed by Adrian for Joan Crawford in the 1937 film 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑹𝒆𝒅. 👰‍♀️ The gown weighs around thirty pounds, is still in existence, and is still in excellent condition considering its age. Despite the film’s title, 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑹𝒆𝒅 was made in black and white, ⚫ ⚪ and the color of the dress was not able to be fully appreciated. The dress made its second appearance in 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒊𝒈 𝑺𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒆 in 1941 in a fashion show scene, 💃💃💃 where an uncredited extra wore it as a model. Though this film was also in black and white, Groucho Marx explains to the audience, “This is a bright red dress” because “Technicolor is sooo expensive!” Finally, the dress appeared in color in the 1943 film 𝑫𝒖 𝑩𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝑨 𝑳𝒂𝒅𝒚, where it was worn without the matching capelet. It was worn by Inez Cooper as “Miss December.” 🗓 This gown has been used in even more films than listed above. Find out which ones by visiting our website.
