Stephanie looks adorable, but Albert? Geez, I know it's the 70s but those pants...

Just saw this pic and thought I'd give it a revive. Given Zsa Zsa's health issues it's nice to see her healthy. And a chuckle over some bizarre business dealings I had with her husband.

Frederik is an odd egg, isn't he?



Hermes ad from 1960 and tow from 1965

I have a question that i think is more logically posted on this thread did grace ever own a croc Kelly like Audrey's or Ingrid's ????? I ask because it's a bit of an urban legend I think the Kelly that actually covered her pregnancy was box but....... Up to now I have seen her with what I know was a brown box Kelly a black box Kelly a white kelly and a toile and barenia but................ Croc ?????

Up until now I haven't come across a picture with Grace and a croc Kelly.

Bumping up this thread again. I just love looking at the vintage styles. Thanks so much Jula.

Thank you for this incredible thread! So fun to peruse and such a contrast to todays "celebrities" carrying around their Birkins in sweats!

How elegant were the ladies back in the day with their gorgeous treasures. That is why I love the kelly and constance so much as they are so ladylike.

Yes same here Suzie!

I looovvveee this thread! The pictures are from such more elegant, classy time. I love seeing all these glamorous ladies with Hermes bags, and yes very refreshing from seeing today's celebrity wearing sweats while carrying their Hermes bags!

The pictures are so precious, thank you for this great thread!

More please.....

The way women dressed up in the 50's and 60's was so elegant. Wearing hosiery, foundation garments, hats and pronounced make-up (the Cleopatra eye) was probably a pain but those images that Jula shows us have women that radiate self-confidence.
