Katharine Hepburn's iconic movie outfits - 1/?
An Ode to the Velvet Suit - WOMAN OF THE YEAR (1942)
tbh I’m never not thinking about how lawrence of arabia tricked the audience into thinking the white dude would be the moral heart and center of the movie, but nope! it’s ali!!! he literally becomes the audience surrogate by the end of act 1, and he’s definitely the moral and heart of the movie by act 2. our heart breaks because his heart breaks. lawrence is the main character, but ali is the sympathetic figure of the film in the end.

During an interview about her incredible costumes for the film Crimson Peak (2015), Kate Hawley mentioned two paintings that particularly inspired her design of the leading female cast’s iconic attire. Proserpine by Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1874, top left) was taken into consideration for the character Lucille Sharpe, otherwise known as The Moth (top right). For Edith Cushing (bottom right), thought of as The Butterfly in contrast, The Bridesmaid by John Everett Millais (1851, bottom left) was said to have greatly influenced the character’s hauntingly beautiful look of cascading hair and the bridal-esque nightgown attire.
