One Dress a Day Challenge

November: Grey Redux

Working Girl / Sigourney Weaver as Katharine Parker and Melanie Griffith as Tess McGill

When Tess decides to impersonate her boss, she also helps herself to Katharine's wardrobe, including this classic grey two-piece suit. It's like the next-generation iteration of Maggie's suit from Funny Face, which started the month of grey (revisited)--so this seems like an appropriate way to close.

In addition to the shouldamapads, the stripped-down cut is very typical of the 1980s: the jacket has no lapels and only one button, while the shirts have no visible fastenings. Note that Katharine wears a white shirt with the suit, while Tess's is a subtle cream or beige. Both pair the suit with a houndstooth overcoat and a taupe shoulderbag, and both wear pearl earrings (but different necklaces). Katherine adds taupe gloves and grey hose.

"Natalie Portman had numerous costume changes in Revenge of the Sith, but she loves what they called the deep blue 'end dress,' which she wore in her coffin in the funeral scene.

'I think Trisha [Biggar] wanted an ocean sense. Someone said to me it was very ‘Ophelia.’ With the flowers and the hair, it does look like I’m drowning'."

a 2005 article by Patt Diroll about the Star Wars prequels' costume exhibition at the fashion institute of Design and Merchandising museum in Los Angeles for the release of the book Dressing a Galaxy: The Costumes of Star Wars.

This incredible floral gown worn by Barbara Steele as Elizabeth Bernard Medina in the 1961 adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's The Pit and the Pendulum didn't actually originate with this film!

The costume's origin can be traced as far back as 1936 when it was made for Anita Colby as Mary Fleming for Mary of Scotland!

This gown has been used and heavily altered for use in other films as well. To find out where visit bit.ly/TudEliz112
