One Dress a Day Challenge
October: White Redux
The Four Musketeers: Milady's Revenge / Faye Dunaway as Milady de Winter
Rewatching this movie to make screencaps reminded me that it and its predecessor, the 1973 Three Musketeers, are just about perfect examples of their genre. The cast, cinematography, score, and yes, costumes are just top-notch. Yvonne Blake was responsible for the costumes for both films.
Milady wears this extravagant white gown while on a diplomatic-slash-assassination mission to England and then later, after being captured, manages to seduce her Puritan jailer into helping her escape. And she even climbs ladders in it! Now, that's what I call a versatile wardrobe.
Note the monogram "W" (for de Winter) on the muff. Also, that hooded cloak is quite something.
