Despite being Swedish I have never seen a single movie with Anita Ekberg, not even La dolce vita. I have however amassed a collection of lovely pictures of her.

My favourite. This costume is amazing and I was thinking of including it in the fantasy costume post, but decided to do an entire post on Anita instead.

Another diabolical look.

With Marcello Mastroianni in La dolce vita.

So glamorous! Also reminds me of a Thierry Mugler perfume ad or runway show.

I love this outfit. The dress, the hat, the handkerchief, but especially the bracelets!

I’m not sure if this is her but it looks like it.

Her figure is crazy! The very definition of the word statuesque. Also, does this outfit remind anyone else of the tree lighting girl in Batman Returns?
