March: Pink Redux

Cover Girl / Rita Hayworth as Rusty Parker

Who says redheads can't wear pink? I particularly like the jacket on this outfit, with the princess seams and the silver chain across the front.

The contrasting black accessories are a nice touch as well. I think I've seen flat hats like that in vintage clothing stores and wondered how anyone was supposed to wear them. I guess you need this sort of hairstyle to pull it off!

Costume design for this movie was by Travis Banton.
