EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black-and-white photograph, Una Merkel exudes sophistication and glamour in her pink and silver evening ensemble from the 1934 film "Evelyn Prentice," produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM). The smart and elegantly simple suit, designed by the renowned costume designer Dolly Tree, was originally intended for Myrna Loy in another MGM production, "The Thin Man." However, the ensemble was ultimately worn by Una Merkel, with a different blouse. The moulded pink and silver skirt of the suit boasts a short train at the back, adding an element of drama and grace. The coat, with its pinch-back model, is adorned with black velvet lapels and buttons, exuding an air of sophistication and elegance. A vestee of pale pink organza, fastened by means of diminutive jewelled buttons, adds a touch of femininity and delicacy to the ensemble. The ensemble is completed with a pink organza carnation on the right lapel, adding a pop of color and a final touch of refinement. The 1930s, a decade known for its jazz age glamour and Hollywood glitz, is beautifully captured in this photograph of Una Merkel. The ensemble, with its timeless design and elegant simplicity, embodies the spirit of the era and the allure of Old Hollywood. The photograph is a testament to the artistry of Dolly Tree and the enduring appeal of classic Hollywood costume design.
