Some fashion statements are eternal. They may go off the ramp for a few years and suddenly come back with a bang! The elegant and chic Rita Hayworth is an actress who made the ruched gown dress, a wardrobe staple in the 40’s.
Born October 17, 1918 this American film actress and dancer was one of the top stars of the era. Starring in more than 61 films over 37 years she is known as “American Film Institute’s Greatest Stars of All Time”. She has also been nicknamed as one of the “best dressed” girls in Hollywood.
If you want to emulate her style then you should check out the classic black dress she wore in the 1946 film Gilda. The dress by Jean Louis, an American costume designer, was worn in one of the most when she sings “Put The Blame On Mame.” The quick striptease made her fuse the femme fatale image. It also gave her recognition of being an iconic movie star.
The strapless Jean Louis sheath was made of black satin. It had a straight neckline, which left her perfectly toned shoulders bare. The long, side-slit paired with gloves worn gave her a classy and yet sensual appeal.
Check out the Carmen Marc valvo metallic ruched gown that fits and flares. The metallic copper comes with ruche from bust to knees. It has a strapless sweetheart neckline with pencil-style skirt flair in mermaid style.
If strapless is not your style then opt for rucheds in one-shoulder, halter necks or even with sleeves and enjoy Rita Hayworth inspired dresses!
