Ladies in fancy evening dresses.

One of my favourite pictures of Dorothy Dandridge, the coral suits her to perfection! The dress is just stunning. Source: Vintagegal.

Ginger Rogers is also super elegant in this slinky dress.

Ginger again in an outfit I really like. It’s almost casual but at the same time formal, and I love the colours and matching shoes.

Patricia Kirkwood in a similar type of outfit. Pink and gold is one of my favourite combinations, and I love that belt! It’s almost She-ra-ish.

Adele Jergens looking very glamorous.

Paulette Goddard in lamé. I love the draping of the skirt.

I love this outfit on Barbara Stanwyck. Pink and gold again and those shoes are fantastic! I also love dresses made out of sari-like fabric, and this has that kind of feel. Her jewellery goes perfectly with the rest.

Barbara again with an acrobatic plant holder and another amazing dress. Her jewellery is amazing in this. The beltlike decoration appears to be jewelled strawberries or some other fruit.

Carmen Miranda covered entirely in fringes.

Dorothy Lamour in a beautiful dress with some kind of dripping fruit?

Ann Blyth looking just heavenly.

I don’t recognise this girl, does anyone else?

Evelyn Keyes in a beautiful transparent dress.

Maureen O’Hara. I love this dress! I’ve said it before but evening dresses with bare midriffs are the best! Note that the hem is padded which makes it even more space like.

Finally one of my favourites, Linda Darnell, in two beautiful dresses. I love the padded cap sleeves and beaded belt on this one, and her hair! I’m very fond of white dresses with exaggerated shoulders. Source: Vintagegal.

I love the exotic colours in this one, and the bracelets go perfectly with it. Source: Vintagegal.
