EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1939, Hollywood actress Lana Turner dazzles in a two-piece frock designed by the renowned costume designer Dolly Tree. The ensemble, created for Turner during her tenure at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) studios, exudes an air of jazz age glamour and 1930s sophistication. The dress, made primarily of natural-colored kasha cloth, features a short-sleeved bodice crafted from paisley silk. The bodice showcases a vibrant, brilliant green hue, a color that is repeated in the pocket details of the accompanying bolero jacket. The outfit's simplicity is ruled by the color green, making it a striking and cohesive ensemble. Turner's footwear complements the dress perfectly, with a pair of green suede shoes adding an elegant touch. A green felt envelope purse and a hat complete the look, further emphasizing the color theme. This photograph captures the essence of the jazz age and the glamour of Old Hollywood. Turner's timeless beauty and the elegant design of the Dolly Tree creation make it a standout piece from the 1930s, a decade known for its iconic fashion trends. The image is a testament to the enduring influence of classic Hollywood and the art of costume design.
