Casablanca (1942)

Ingrid Bergman's wardrobe as Ilsa Lund, characterized by clean lines, neutral tones, classic silhouettes, and simple jewelry by Joseff of Hollywood, highlights her character's inner strength and sophistication, contrasting with the more flamboyant styles of other characters. It also mirrors the realities of wartime fashion, emphasizing practicality and a more subdued glamour compared to pre-war styles.
