Today I caught "Lovely to Look At" (1952). It was a really nice film and it has a Parisian fashion show. Who doesn't adore a film with a Parisian fashion show? It stars Kathryn Grayson (Stephanie) and Marge Champion (Clarisse) as heiresses of a Parisian dress shop that is on the verge of bankruptcy. Co-heir Al (Red Skelton) and pals Tony (Howard Keel) and Jerry (Gower Champion) are film producers and they help scare up some funding for a fashion show. As per usual, romance ensues, but what happens when there are 3 girls and 2 boys? To add to the tension Al's girl friend Bubbles (Ann Miller) arrives from NYC. I'm a fan of Kathryn, Red and Ann so this was a real treat.
Our three leading ladies.
Yummy evening gown.
I loved this little cape!
More fancy ensembles. Purple sparkles!
And the fashion show:
There really were tons and tons of fabulous evening ensembles in this film! If you love evening wear, this is a must see!
That's it! I'm putting this in my netflix queue JUST for the clothes ;)
