One Dress a Day Challenge
June: Weddings
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes / Jane Russell as Dorothy Shaw and Marilyn Monroe as Lorelei Lee
This is certainly one of, if not the most classic double wedding scene in film, and the matching wedding gowns designed by William "Billy" Travilla were real trendsetters. There's a good writeup of them here, which I'll quote from:
"The dazzling floral lace wedding dresses featured a high neck, bell sleeves and tulle skirts. The two women also wore matching hats and netting. The overall look was romantic, graceful and delicate.
"The white floral lace gives the gowns a demure look without being entirely covered up and the bell sleeves add a playful touch.
"Drawing in at the waist, the lace overlay covers the entire torso of the dress. The layers of tulle fan out at the hips into a full skirt. The tea length gown sits just above the ankle, showing off some feminine strappy heels. The dress was buttoned half way up the back where it then had an open slit up to the neck.
"Both women wore their hair in pin curls at the nape of their neck with a lace netting headband on top. They had a thin veil which sat just below their nose... Both women carried a medium sized bouquet of white roses, tied together with long white ribbon which hung to their knees. They also had on fiery red lipstick with red nail polish to match."
The article also notes that rising hemlines in the 1950s "consequently led to the rise of shorter veils and thus attention was directed towards the bride’s wedding shoes."

HOLLYWOOD ROYALTY — GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES
Despite releasing 70 years ago, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes remains an iconic staple of Golden Age Hollywood. Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell delivered timeless, hilarious performances that were empathized by William Travilla's exquisite costuming. Monroe's shocking pink dress has had a huge impact on popular culture, having been referenced by Madonna, Megan Thee Stallion, Normani, and Kylie Jenner. I hope you enjoy it!

One Dress a Day Challenge
July: Blue Redux (+ Green Redux)
The Inspector General / Elsa Lanchester as Maria
The 1830s is a decade that doesn't make it to film particularly often. I like the unusual combination of black and light blue here, and the looped pattern around the neckline with the little heart-shaped ornament in front. I'm not an expert, but I believe the hairstyle is actually from a decade or two later, with the dangling ringlets.
Costumes for this movie were by (William) Travilla, who also designed costumes for several of Marilyn Monroe's films and, much later in his career, the TV show Dallas. This was one of his early projects.
