One Dress a Day Challenge
February: Coeli's Monochrome Picks
I'm No Angel / Mae West as Tira
Coeli's comment: "Wowza!"
The pre-code era strikes again, with Travis Banton as the designer. The slinky, low-cut gown with spiderweb wrap in the bottom photo looks positively demure next to the costume she's almost wearing in the other photos. In Tira's defense, she is a circus sideshow performer. However, it's not too hard to see why this movie was cited as one of the factors leading to the implementation of the Hays Code.
Classic lines:
"Oh, Beulah, peel me a grape!"
"Well, it's not the men in your life that counts, it's the life in your men."
"When I'm good I'm very good. But when I'm bad I'm better."

This elegant gown, masterfully crafted by the renowned designer Travis Banton, made its dazzling debut on Kay Francis, who portrayed Donna Lucia d’Alvadorez in the adaptation of Brandon Thomas’ beloved play, Charley’s Aunt. Although the audience saw it in black and white, its true color was revealed the following year when it graced Rita Hayworth as Sally Elliott in the film My Gal Sal.

Anything Goes December
Bluebeard's Eighth Wife / Claudette Colbert as Nicole de Loiselle
I haven't seen Bluebeard's Eighth Wife--one of Ernst Lubitsch's later efforts--but I happened across this photo of a costume and absolutely loved it. The film is from 1938, but we're really looking ahead to the 1940s in the shape of it. Travis Banton was the costume designer for this movie.

Marlene Dietrich by Martin Munkácsi, 1935
"Marlene Dietrich is the most natural dresser of any woman I have known. Everything she puts on is sublimated by the Dietrich personality."
