Happy birthday, #KatharineHepburn! Her style is so iconic that many think it was innate. Some was, but it largely came from careful study, cultivation, and working with brilliant costume designers. You can really see it evolve in pictures like HOLIDAY (costumes by #Kalloch) and then THE PHILADELPHIA STORY and WOMAN OF THE YEAR (costumes by #Adrian). Each of these films continues to be highly influential on fashion. #oldhollywood #classichollywood #styleinspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/COylMDIHmnQ/?igshid=3r3sedj8vzta

And happy (belated) birthday to costume designer #MiloAnderson! Along with #OrryKelly and #LeahRhodes, Milo helped shape Warner Bros.' style voice. He was a talented designer from a young age and particularly gifted at #1940s #filmnoir, including TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT (1944) and MILDRED PIERCE (1945). Both continue to be highly influential on fashion. You can read about the backstories of these films and more about Milo in my book #FilmNoirStyle. #oldhollywood #classichollywood #styleinspiration #TCM https://www.instagram.com/p/COsq3YtnXJV/?igshid=pkixhxqx8c88

Happy birthday, #ClareWest! One of Hollywood's earliest costume designers, she was beloved by #CecilBDeMille for her designs with "outlandish sexual elegance" that "made people gasp." Clare made an immediate and lasting impact on fashion with films like WHY CHANGE YOUR WIFE? (1920) starring #GloriaSwanson, which is one of The Style Essentials on GlamAmor (link in bio). #TCM #oldhollywood #classichollywood #styleinspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/COsn7qonXMK/?igshid=15n55b1h3oxuc

Really enjoyed today's virtual conversation between my buddy @larryedmunds1938 (aka Jeff Mantor) and @peter_bogdanovich for the Larry Edmunds Bookshop. All about Peter's evolution as a film historian and long history with the store. Great way to celebrate Jeff's birthday and his 30th anniversary at LEB. #TCMFF https://www.instagram.com/p/COq7YuunAwb/?igshid=gtvfgzvmhdr2

Thanks to all who came to tonight's FASHION IN FILM OF #TCMFF 2021! It was wonderful to be with my #TCM family once again and I'm so happy you enjoyed the event. I felt the love. ❤️ And for those who asked, my gown is by @badgleymischka.😉 In case you missed the event live, the video is now available on demand on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/fashioninfilmoftcmff2021 Enjoy the @turnerclassicmovies Classic Film Festival! #classichollywood #oldhollywood #styleinspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/COhN7pDHDlz/?igshid=emzou3apmz27

TODAY Let's get the party started - join me 5/5 for the 5th annual FASHION IN FILM OF #TCMFF! Our celebration of style in the movies starts with THE THIN MAN (1934), so I let #MyrnaLoy be my inspiration for today's ensemble. Of course nothing comes close to her striped bias cut gown, but I did find a sunny frock from Badgley Mischka that has its own ruffled tiers that float whenever I move in it. I can't wait to see your own party outfit, so be sure to share! FASHION IN FILM OF TCMFF 2021 starts at 4 pm PT - right after the @turnerclassicmovies "Meet TCM" panel, which gives you the true TCMFF experience of rushing from one event to another!

This #Oscars #CinemaConnection is timely because I'll be discussing TOP HAT (1935) at my FASHION IN FILM OF TCMFF 2021 event on May 5. #GingerRogers in her #BernardNewman "feathers" dress clearly inspired the #OscardelaRenta #LauraDern wore to present at the Academy Awards. #TCM #oldhollywood #classichollywood #styleinspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/COHBmKVHeMV/?igshid=ko5bzoc8qc5i

Yet another #Oscars #CinemaConnection - #MariaBakalova's stylist said #GraceKelly and #AudreyHepburn were the inspiration behind her #LouisVuitton gown. There were reportedly 100 m of tulle in the skirt, which made me think of #EdithHead's REAR WINDOW (1954) dress for Grace and #HubertdeGivenchy's dress for Audrey in FUNNY FACE (1957). #TCM https://www.instagram.com/p/COG_56DnmPr/?igshid=18t75g3183u01

Next #Oscars #CinemaConnection - I got a lot of #AvaGardner vibes from #AndraDay's custom #VeraWang, especially Ava in #Irene for 1949's THE BRIBE (complete with bare mid-section) and this gold gown (likely #HelenRose) for an MGM publicity shot. #TCM https://www.instagram.com/p/COG-EmRHKjS/?igshid=bd9e4nyt1gge

Next #Oscars #CinemaConnection - #MyrnaLoy in #DollyTree for THE THIN MAN (1934) + #MarleeMatlin in #VivienneWestwood. #TCM https://www.instagram.com/p/COG8rpPH9do/?igshid=43aegsssbyts

My first #Oscars #CinemaConnection starts at the top - #HalleBerry's haircut was inspired by #LouiseBrooks. #TCM https://www.instagram.com/p/COG7UzAn9u1/?igshid=2y0k8e3ououj

THANK YOU to all who came to Sunday's #OscarsStyle event - I'm so happy you enjoyed it! I apologize for the Zoom network error that froze the presentation images between 9:11 and 12:36 - not what I wanted to see. But overall a good time was had by all and I was really happy to bring this new event to you. ICYMI live, the video is now available on demand on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/oscarsstyle And for those who asked, my gown is by THEIA - their designs are sold at department stores like Bergdorf Goodman along with the THEIA website: https://theiacouture.com/ 🙂 #oldhollywood #classichollywood #styleinspiration #TCM https://www.instagram.com/p/CN71NG_n8rj/?igshid=1nw54fofrpzvi

One of the great moments in classic film courtesy of costume designer #OrryKelly, who had a long partnership with #BetteDavis both on and off the screen. NOW, VOYAGER - and its "makeover" wardrobe for Charlotte Vale - is among my Style Essentials for its ongoing influence on fashion. #oldhollywood #classichollywood #styleinspiration Posted @withregram • @turnerclassicmovies NOW, VOYAGER ('42) was Bette Davis' biggest box office hit of the '40s, marking the pinnacle of her career at Warner Bros. as a romantic leading lady. Feminist critics like Jeanne Allen, who edited the published screenplay, have praised the film for its depiction of a woman's move into adulthood and independence. #31DaysOfOscar https://www.instagram.com/p/CN2kEInn5Uq/?igshid=2v36bhca4gyq

TODAY This time the gold #Oscars statuette was the inspiration for the gown I chose for today's #OscarsStyle event. Join me at 4 pm PT as we discuss every Best Actress winner from 1929 to 1961 - the role that won them the award, the ensemble they wore to the ceremony, and the designer behind it. You'll also see the various venues through the years. And, as a bonus, you'll see some #CinemaConnections as well - the influence of classic film on the Academy Awards® red carpet. I promise some surprises. Did you know that not one but two actresses wore nightgowns to accept their Oscar?

It's no secret I have classic film crush on #WilliamHolden, so here's a little more appreciation for him on his birthday. Can I help it if he's shirtless in a bunch of his movies? And good lord, why shouldn't he be. This moment is courtesy of PICNIC (1955). #TCM #oldhollywood #classichollywood https://www.instagram.com/p/CNxZFwqnAak/?igshid=1uyixv89qeutv

Happy birthday, #WilliamHolden! He won the Academy Award for STALAG 17 and acted in some of the greatest films of all time across the genres - romantic comedy (SABRINA), drama (NETWORK), war (THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI), and film noir (SUNSET BOULEVARD). Every performance was natural and believable and charming. I believe he was one of Robert Osborne's favorite actors and he's certainly one of mine. #oldhollywood #classichollywood https://www.instagram.com/p/CNxXIXnnqmF/?igshid=r0ucerbbf930
