She always brought a lot of acting and fashion to a role, but Did she look any better than in The Thomas Crown Affair? Faye Dunaway had such elegance, panache and just the right retro chic. She was just stunning and still is. If women still dressed liked this.....alas, a time gone by.
Is it any wonder I loved this movie?
My SIL and I were talking about how our mothers used to dress - gloves, hats and heels to go into the *city*.
ReplyDeleteShe looked good in hats alright.
ReplyDeleteI also liked her Bonnie Parker look.
ReplyDeleteShe was fab until she turned herself into Crawford.
ReplyDeleteTalk about jumping the shark!
I'm with Bob on that one. I still have a healthy aversion to wire hangers to this day.
ReplyDeleteWhen then the scene worked! I hate them. To many lines on clothes!
DeleteSuch a great film, I loved the costumes, I loved the outfits in the remake too.
ReplyDeleteAnd you know Tabs....I could see you in alot of these outfits. I loved the remake also, I only wished they would have recreated the chess game scene!
DeleteI saw this movie again the other day, I was mesmerized by the huge braided wiglet.
ReplyDeleteDon't even get me started on the braided wiglet!
DeleteOh Mistress, my favorite movie, just reeked of style! And her style and fashion so chic and timeless!
ReplyDeleteGreat post; I just adore Faye. How entertaining would she be on American Horror Story? I love these pictures!
ReplyDeleteI so believe she would fit right in!!!!
ReplyDelete60s fashion; reminds me of twiggy. and that wiglet! imagine how heavy that must have been!
ReplyDeleteI love both versions of the Thomas Crown Affair. But for sartorialism and elegance Faye Dunaway's iconic outfits and the way she carries them has to be my favorite of both versions. She has a way of making an entrance which you can't take your eyes off.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite movies too. It's not the clothes but the way you wear them". You can have all the designer clothes in the world but if you don't know how to carry yourself it's wasted. Faye Dunaway is the epitome of classy cool here, Have you seen her lately?
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to see this movie, I've only ever seen the famous chess game. McQueen and her in evening dress= a beautiful couple
ReplyDeleteWhen I think of Faye Dunaway THIS is how I think of her.She was hot in her prime. I just adore these looks here. Her plastic surgery on the other hand.........
ReplyDeleteOh, Faye. I love her. To death. For me she can do no wrong... except for that time on Ari O's yacht, when she got hold of a butcher knife and went after poor little Christina O. No, seriously... years later we all had to laugh when she did practically the same thing on-screen to that fictional Christina. But no, know one was laughing on the yacht that day. Well, except for Maria Callas. But then, THAT bitch would laugh at anything... just saying. - Uptonking from Wonderland Burlesque
ReplyDeleteWhat? Are you serious? Why I would probably been sitting right next to Callas laughing right with her!
