"As you can see, I did receive my Academy booklet on how to dress like a serious actress." - Cher

[@marciagoodall8318]

I had never seen the Rhianna outfit before … what on earth was she thinking. It’s ghastly

[@pamelaspooner7183]

Less is always more. Looks like she shopped at Victoria’s Secret…..it’s a neglige for the hubby, not the public.

[@lesliesmith5797]

Audrey Hepburn was another iconic beauty, with so much class and dignity. 🦋🦋🦋🦋

[@barbaraoliver2005]

Yes, I remember the safety pin dress. Who could forget👀! ? At the time I thought that it looked great on her, that it could never have been worn to anything except a film premiere, and that it certainly made Liz Hurley into a recognisable name, instead of a vaguely recognisable actress who played character parts competently. With hindsight, is this a classic case of the dress being the star and towing the actress into recognition? That remark is not meant to be bitchy - I just cannot think of a better way of expressing it.

[@lindafletcher1628]

Audrey Hepburn wearing Givenchy is to me the very best of all fashion....there is no better clothes horse than Audrey. Think your idea of one designer with different women wearing that designers clothes is a great idea👍

[@katelondon54]

The other thing Cher was trying to show is that initially nobody thought Cher was a “ serious actress”. Yes, she did a great job in Mask, but most people thought that was beginners luck. By the time Cher wore this dress, she had won the academy award for Moonstruck, and she was giving the middle finger to all people who thought a “ serious actress” wouldn’t wear something outrageous for attention. Now people forget that intially people laughed at Cher for thinking she could act in movies. I remember being entranced by the Liz Hurley dress with the safety pins holding it up. It seemed suspended in air, but yet technically if you measure the amount of skin showing, an inch on the side, it really wasn’t that much. However it was obvious she wasn’t wearing underwear , and that’s what made it eye popping.

[@Ciao_Bella]

Yes, it was the commando element that made the safety pin dress such a topic of conversation.

[@annec781]

Audrey Hepburn’s LBD in Sabrina was amazing too.

[@kimlebrun5196]

I totally agree! The original movie Sabrina remains even today as one of my favorite movies along with Breakfast at Tiffany's! I've watched both of those movies at least 5 times if not more. I realize I am putting my age out there but who cares😂 I am pretty certain that younger generations would not enjoy these films, but the gorgeous fashions in both films cannot be denied!! AWESOME VIDEO ONCE AGAIN! THANK YOU BEEBS❤ BRAVO TO LBD!!!!!

[@M0odyBlue]

Sabrina had gorgeous fashions! I miss those days when people got dressed. It reflected everything. You took care. You behaved differently when you were dressed properly. The current trends look cheap and sloppy. I hate what that says about our society.

[@janescott4574]

In my opinion, no one absolutely no one can outdo Audrey Hepburn for understated elegance. Never mind Breakfast at Tiffany’s, her outfits in Charade were sublime.

[@sandy-pf9bb]

She was awesome in Charade. Such a beautiful lady, inside and out.

[@smyoung3988]

I’m an old viewer & would love to see you do Grace Kelly’s clothes in REAR WINDOW & Audrey Hepburn’s clothes in general. You must see BREAKFAST AT TIFFANYS

[@judyweinstock9972]

OMG, I agree. Grace Kelly's outfits are so stylish in Rear Window. Yes, Breakfast at Tiffany's is an excellent movie.

[@rosinapaul983]

Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn always looked amazing. I love the old movies for the fashion. It's been slowly downhill since the mid-sixties--except for famous people. Now people wear COVID chic, flip flops, and baseball caps. It's so much fun to dress up for an occasion. La Bella Figura lives!

[@pamelacooney9074]

Bob Mackie was Cher's costume designer on the 'Sonny & Cher' show and her solo TV show in the 70s. She used to catch flack for exposing her navel back then, but she always looked glamorous and elegant to me. She was always stunning, no matter what.

[@allisonlohman7633]

I would love a deep dive into Christian Siriano's designs!

[@barbaramagnoff3925]

Absolute agree.

[@notoriousMAG]

Yes! Project Runway always selected shock value as winner and wearable fashion as 1st runner up. Christian, Korto, Michael were robbed!

[@MadHatter-s3t]

Thank you Beebs. I love the one designer coverage idea. This reminded me of my gran, bless her. She was born in 1903. The adults around her then, born in the Victorian era, never really lived to a ripe old age. Back then, it was expected that you wore black, in mourning, for FIVE YEARS after someone died! Wearing black for mourning dates back to the Roman Empire . Citizens there would mark a person's death by switching their normally white toga for a black one. Now, imagine, you spend 4 years in mourning, then someone else dies. Another 5 years added, then another person dies. Another five years added. My gran was in her mid twenties and had never worn anything but black her entire life. One day, she had a hissy fit and threw all her black clothes away. Which would have been her entire wardrobe. She swore she would never wear black again and she never did. For 60 years. We were all barred from wearing it too in her company. One day I went to visit her, on my way back from work She lived in a room in a nursing home. I walked in and she promptly threw me out. I had a black skirt on! "Go home and get changed! Then you can come back!" I did to. 😄 She wouldn't even talk to me unless I got changed. Beebs, I would love to see you cover Edith Head's designs. I just adore what she designed for Grace Kelly, who was stunning. Her blue dress in To Catch a Thief is just gorgeous. I love that era. Women looked like women. The close fitting, figure skimming designs were just divine. Also Jenny Packham, who Catherine, Princess of Wales wears a lot, can do no wrong in my eyes. :)

[@JLR1957]

Shock horror, Beebs 😮 You must watch 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'! It's a beautiful movie with quite a poignant story-line. One must watch all of Audrey's movies. In fact, now I feel I must binge watch all her movies this festive season ❤😊🇦🇺

[@RobinFreeman-l6i]

I would love a video showing Audrey Hepburn wearing Givenchy"s designs and Grace Kelly wearing Edith Head's designs.

"Saleswomen always say the same thing. They hold up dresses that are so ugly, and they say, 'This looks much better on!' To which I reply, 'On what? On fire?'" --Rita Rudner, comedienne

[@patirvin-bz9pg]

Hahahaha

[@A.Rasberry]

Elizabeth Hurley was already famous for modeling at the time. But you’re right she had not started her acting career. I remember being blown away by the dress and it really caused a stir. I think opinions were pretty split. You either loved it or thought it was inappropriate.

[@KrisBarber65]

I Love Lady Gaga! And love a lot of her fashion. A compilation of Cristian’s designs would be cool! Funny, I have never owned a little black dress! LOL

[@D1331D]

A couple of years ago my D-i-L was moaning my son was late home from work. He was with Liz Hurley, he had been her chauffeur for the day. His mates were jealous 😂😂😂

[@NosySpeckyLee]

Never seen Breakfast at Tiffany’s? That can’t be allowed to continue, Beebs! That has to be remedied ASAP, failing that I’ll have to inform the fashion police.. Honestly, it’s a feast for the eyes + cute story with good acting. Would be fun to see a video with your prospective on it. Just a thought…

[@sophierosebisou8420]

“...Get a reaction, to steal attention, send a message in some way... Doesn’t fit the occasion...” So Meghan has been wearing costumes!🤣🤣🤣

[@llamasugar5478]

Holly Golightly may have been the first manic-pixie-dream girl. The fashions in the movie were fantastic; the movie, not so much.

[@NadineWilliamsNadege]

I am also old enough to tell you watching the Oscars in my jammies in the '70's Cher loved pushing the envelope long before the black one. Bob Mackie made many of them. She always looked amazing to me. Even my Grama loved her dresses, on her. That is part of Cher's secret. She knows her body and conveys her personality and message so well it's perfection. Little trivia Bob Mackie started as costume designer on the Carol Burnett show. Though I didn't buy any he used to sell on QVC or the other channel. Ladies bought his stuff like hot cakes.

[@kevinpoole6122]

Miss Kelly, You *MUST* see Breakfast at Tiffany’s! You could do an entire video on her wardrobe from the film.

[@qbear1045]

"Breakfast at Tiffany's" is an AMAZING movie. I wasn't even born when it came out and I love it. Audrey Hepburn was a wonderful actress.

[@maxinahunt8652]

Meghan misses the mark every time.

[@rosana847]

Catherine is adorable and elegant, is admirable the growing confidence with wich she is carrying herself queen- like.

[@KeiPalace]

Cher didn't think she would win, she said later she wouldn't have worn that costume if she knew. But when I think of costume faux pas, it's Barbra Streisand wearing a black sequined pantsuit to the Oscars that showed up see through under the stage lighting, and this was back in the 60s!

[@ellenstrack6274]

Loved the take on LBD. My mom was watching the red carpet for the Oscars when Cher stepped out. Mom was shocked for a moment then said "Only Cher". I remember seeing Liz in her dress and was like "wow". And you need to see Breakfast at Tiffanys.

[@thenextpersonontheright]

I would be interested in a breakdown of Serrano's work because he makes dresses for pretty much every body type. Sonit would be interesting to see your take on the things that he does for each of the different styles.

[@M0odyBlue]

Are you talking about Christian Soriano? I love a lot of his looks and that he dresses many different body types.

Riri and Hurley: tacky, tacky tacky. Same as the "naked" dress trend: absolutely tasteless.

[@cherryvaleleatherock6900]

Beebes, Darling. Cher MADE Bob Mackey. He was her costume designer. She showed this much skin weekly on her incredible TV Show. None of us were shocked by this get-up. We totally expected this of Cher. She's a Fashioh Icon, and we love her for it!! Thank you for all of your videos. I love them all.❤

[@heidifogelberg3544]

The other thing about Cher that year was that she WAS enacting the middle finger at the Academy - for the Mask thing, but there's a set of nuances. At the time, Cher was working hard at coming out of the shadow of Sonny some, instead of being the iconic single syllable powerhouse talent she's now seen to be. At the time, she was best known as a 2nd billed (behind her husband, and sort of part of his gig) on a weekly TV variety show. Yes, she'd belted out some great songs and was sort of known for it, but her niche was very much not actress, not film (TV was a whole separate - lower - category), not even star as a singer. She got ignored for Mask BECAUSE she was Cher, and she was not having it. She had a history of showing up in shocking garb nobody else would dare kind of all around the industry, but again, she was still part of a separate entity in most minds, and very few had stepped back to see her for what she really could do and recognize her for the diva she is now known to be. By Mask, she'd done Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, which pretty much sank without a bubble, and Silkwood, which did not but got only gape-mouthed astonishment at the notion that she could Act (those 2 were released back-to-back in the early 80s). Then she waited to let the idea settle for everyone for a year or two, and she kicked it off the curb with Mask. I guess she was just tired of being patient at that point.

[@Always_Thinking]

Bob really designed some epic outfits for Cher! She was probably the only one that could do justice to the outfits 😊

[@heidifogelberg3544]

@@Always_Thinking At the time, she was the only one with the b*lls to try. And she had the body to carry it, and more than enough attitude. They were quite the team.

[@baz7055]

Also Bob Mackie dressed Carol Burnett for 12 years on her show. They were great friends also I've read CB And CB had big time variety shows on tv that overlapped each other. Cher and Carol.

[@LulusMom1961]

@@heidifogelberg3544 yep, the Sonny and Cher Hour was where Bob Mackey became famous, not the other way around. Cher looked perfect for Cher!!

[@eileenhiggins8620]

That was great and yes a focus one one designer would be great 👍

[@ParkAvenue34]

The second Little Black Dress in BREAKFAST at TIFFANY'S is sensational. I'd wear that in every single color of the rainbow. I loved that dress

[@mitziac5300]

One thing worth noting: there’s a difference between wearing “defiance” clothing when representing yourself, versus when you are representing an organization. That’s why I did (and still do) side-eye so many of Mendacious Meghan’s fashion choices; you just can’t dress like that while representing the monarch or your business/charitable entity without saying something ugly.

[@savannahsmiles1797]

The monarchy isn't celebrity and that is why yacht girl was OUT of her element. She longed to be celebrity but didn't have the chops to make it in that arena. Sadly she is OUTCLASSED in the monarchy as she is more the yacht girl escort mentality. She was IRATE that she wasn't getting PAID to be the part, as she would be as the former. That is doing what the client wants. The monarchy isn't pleasing the public so much as promoting their institution and country, which is OUT of MM as she lives to promote ONLY herself. Out of her scope to adapt from that behavior. She is all about her. NOT traditions, history, class or country. Basically just gauche.

[@vickietownsend5944]

Or without saying "I am an ignoramus who hasn't got a clue."

[@sandeerawson1248]

I would love to hear your take on different designers and how they work real woman. Some designers are so unflattering even on their models. Thanks.

[@tammykuchta715]

I remember watching Cher when she wore that outfit. No one was shocked , it was kind of expected to see Cher dressed differently during the Oscars/award shows. Cher represented Bob Mackie in everything she wore. People looked forward to seeing what she was going to wear. The safety pin dress, I remember watching that one too. No one thought it was scandalous by any means.

[@maryblaufuss7533]

Yes, I'd like to go one designer at a time. I'd also like to see which of their looks you like, Beebs, and which ones you thought were flops, unless it's pretty much 100% in one direction or the other. I also enjoy it when you go back in time here and there, as you educate us on the history of fashion.

[@julievanarends3702]

Cher’s outfit was scandalous at the time and I think she’s the only one who could have gotten away with it. Breakfast at Tiffany’s was a strange movie. I don’t think you’re missing much by not seeing it. I would enjoy designer videos!

[@ParkAvenue34]

OK. About Elizabeth Hurley, you want an option on the "Safety Pin" dress. Well... I could not get past those SHOES. Uggh! What on Earth?!?

[@anitasmith203]

The Sonny and Cher Variety Show played every Sunday evening for one hour in the early 70s, Cher wore wild, crazy, risque dresses every show, with 3 or 4 changes per show, that Oscar dress was not much over the top lol. I think l'm going to see if there are any videos of her back then on line.

[@hennahannnah]

Yes Beebs, while you’ve checking out Breakfast at Tiffany’s (imagine how different it would’ve been with Marilyn, the first choice to play Holly Golightly), look up The Sonny and Cher Show for dazzling fashion!

Demi Moore's Mugler (?) in Indecent Proposal was gorgeous, too.

[@sophierosebisou8420]

[@LeeDon76]

Liz Hurley dress was for me rather slutty. I hated that she was trying to overshadow Hugh Grant who at the time was starring in 4 weddings and a funeral.

[@LaHermitess]

I see a direct comparison between the Rhianna 'maternity dress' and the Lady Gaga dress. Born in the early 1950s, both outfits resonate with me as what used to be called negligees by my mother and women of that time. The interesting difference in these 2 modern takes is that Rhianna's looks like she forgot to change out of her revealing night wear before heading out the door, whereas Lady Gaga's outfit looks to be an intentional design, paying homage to the romantic/erotic lingerie of trysts and sexy date nights in a time gone by. Gaga's outfit works where Rhianna's unfortunately looks more like an embarrassing oversight akin to accidentally leaving home for your important business meeting still wearing your fuzzy teddy bear house slippers. A interesting juxtaposition nonetheless.

[@NadineWilliamsNadege]

I was in shock when I learned Liz Hurley's dress was not bespoke. I am old enough to remember Diana's and Liz's moments. In my opinion Liz filling out that dress was as another YTer says "chef's 💋". It was nothing short of Kismet. This colour, blush looks lovely on you Beebs. I have 2 little black stories of my own. My Grama and Mom were amazing fashionistas in their own right. 😊

[@dianesassen1282]

Hi Beebs. Really enjoyed this LBD episode. It’s wonderful to dig deeper into fashion,costumes, and history through your channel. I’m pretty much in sync with you and am learning so much. There is one famous black dress that I don’t know if you are aware of its exsistence. A painting by John Singer Sargent called Strapless in a book written about. I’ve seen it in person at the Met NY. It’s huge. Maybe it might inspire a look through fashion in famous paintings. ❤

[@janetkidder5505]

Cher dressed like that every week on her tv show. She just doesn’t give a fig. Fabulous attitude. I thought the safety pin dress looked trashy, she’s a gorgeous woman and she cheapened herself. How about discussing Liz Taylor in that slip she wore in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof!

[@lornaackerman7022]

Oh I really loved this episode! The little black dress has been my favorite wardrobe piece since I was 17. I bought her for my senior homecoming dance with my own money from my part time job. It was a classic eighties dress, with a bustier top with a ruffle over one shoulder, a peplum waist , a just above the knee hemline and a moderate back slit. All in a heavy weight matte finish satin. I felt like I belonged on Dynasty in that dress I wore simple black stilettos that I got on sale and a matching clutch. I felt so grown up. It was such a lucky find and cost way less than it would have normally, but was slightly damaged and my mother helped me fix it even though my parents felt it was too mature for me. I wish I had kept that dress, it wouldn’t fit me anymore but it was so beautiful.

[@savannahsmiles1797]

I remember my mom scolding that a LBD was not for a younger girl...I was in my teens, and I was strictly forbidden to wear such fashion until after 20. So I opted for dark navy blue and raised eyebrows.

[@suegardner]

'That Dress' I remember this moment well, it hit the headlines hard, here in the UK. I think it was considered quite risque and almost shocking at the time! Seems crazy now 😊

You’ve made me rethink clothes in so many ways and love everything you point out.

Looked great. Also, it came from a time when stylists weren't so ubiquitous, like Diana's dress, we knew she chose it. Red carpets were a fashion statement of the person. It was an era where we made the fashion. We transformed our clothes (I made most of mine)

I remember when Liz wore the Versace dress, everyone loved it. Diana’s LBD was dubbed “the revenge dress.” Camilla wore a strapless black dress & a choker like Diana’s a little while later, but it didn’t fit her well & people made fun of her for it

Camilla could never carry off a Princess Diana look. She has a completely different (almost opposite) build.

I would love videos focused on specific designers ♥️

I would like to see a designer oriented video.
