Sophia Loren by Henry Clarke, US Vogue, Sept. 1958

"Sophia Loren, famous as a torrent of movie sex, looks offstage like a dip of coffee ice cream, cool, beautiful, and soothing…Relaxed and aware, she likes to pose with music playing, music with a pronounced beat -- Sinatra, Belafonte. She knows her face objectively, never shows her profile, always shows the tiptilt of her green-grey eyes. Here she wears her own short black brocade Scaasi dress with the neckline she loves. Neither a creamy Titian nor a thin girl, she is a young woman; after Loren, bones are boring."

One Dress a Day Challenge

June: Brown Redux

On a Clear Day You Can See Forever / Barbra Streisand as Daisy Gamble

This is the costume we first see Daisy in, a brown mini-length jumper with polka-dotted tie over what looks almost like a man's dress shirt. In close-up, we can see that the "shirt" layer has subtle striping, possibly just textural variation. Daisy wears this combo with white tights and white Mary Jane shoes. (Trivia: Mary Jane shoes are named after Buster Brown's girlfriend!)

To my eyes, this combination looks rather little-girlish and may be intended to hint at Daisy's lack of maturity. But that may be reading it through a more contemporary lens, and perhaps it didn't look that way to audiences in 1970.
