Evening Glamour

Lauren was one of the most prolific style icons of the 40s and 50s, thanks to her effortless glamour, timeless bob and raspy drawl. On screen, the actress wore sharp, masculine suits, slinky evening gowns and striking red lipstick - all of which continue to look fabulous today. Lauren believed you shouldn't have to "do too much to clothes", just wear them.For evening, draped gowns and nipped-in waists, that were so prevalent during that era, were Lauren's go-to look. You can find several examples of these gorgeous gowns at the InspirationSL Event, three of which are shown here.

The Little Black Dress

The "little black dress" is considered essential to a complete wardrobe by many women and fashion observers, who believe it a "rule of fashion" that every woman should own a simple, elegant black dress that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion: for example, worn with a jacket and pumps for daytime business wear or with more ornate jewelry and accessories for evening. Hollywood femme fatales and fallen women characters were portrayed often in black halter-style dresses in contrast to the more conservative dresses of housewives or more wholesome Hollywood stars.

Picture above, is one example of the Little Black Dress (created by Wicked),  The ensemble includes the dress, long sleek gloves, jewelry and shoes...

A small segment from Casablanca (1942) and  To Have and Have Not (1944)

December 18, 2016 -January 8, 2017

Bogart & Bacall, December is Hollywood Glam!

Few Hollywood romances are as legendary as Bogie and Bacall’s.

  

 Lauren Bacall was just 19 when she met a married Humphrey Bogart on the set of 1944’s “To Have And Have Not,” but their 25-year age gap and Bogart’s marital status didn’t seem to stop a romance from forming. It only took a few months for Bogart to get a divorce and pop the question to the young blonde actress. The two were married on May 21, 1945 and stayed blissfully wed until his untimely death in 1957.

Humphrey always had an eye for style. His mysterious persona and perfectly groomed attire made him the perfect package. His style seemed effortless and simple, yet showed all the details a man like him would require. A leading man on screen and off screen, Bogart was never seen out of formal wear. Always wearing head-wear and holding a cigar that seemed to burn forever. He exuded elegance in every aspect of his life. Taking inspiration from this iconic man is a sure fire way to get noticed.

So what did Bogie, a living silver screen icon, see in Bacall? Aside from her wit, talent and that gaze, the lady had great style. Sharp 1940s suiting and pristine, structured tailoring lent the ingenue an air of maturity beyond her years.

So in the words of the great Humphrey Bogart, “Here’s looking at you, kid.” We'll see you in December for Hollywood Glam!
