1938 Original Press Photo.
For fancy dress this dance costume from Actress Claudette Colbert's wardrobe in Paramount's "Zaza" might be amusingly copies. Edith Head, designer, has used Black satin embroidered in rhinestones and lavishly trimmed with curled ostrich feathers, which were the rage during the Edwardian era.
A black satin pompon sprinkled with rhinestones and trimmed with a tuft of black ostrich feathers fastens about the neck on a narrow rhinestone choker.
A similar pompom on the wrist and a black feather ornament in the hair further accent the "Gay '90s" feeling.
Edith Claire Head was an American film costume designer. She received a record 35 nominations for the Academy Award for Best Costume Design and won a record eight times, making her both the most honored and most nominated woman in the Academy's history.
