Lucille Ball wearing Bonnie Cashin

[madisonave5011]

Tonight I was watching one of my favorite shows "The Lucy Show" 1964-1965 featuring Lucille Ball and I saw her wearing this coat that looked an awful lot like a Bonnie Cashin coat from the 60s. What do you ladies think? Ill post a link to the coat on eBay (NMA) for comparison in the next post. I thought this was so cool!!

I love Lucy! She was one smart dame and great inspiration.

I think you’re correct, to me it's the exact jacket.

Very nice! I love Lucy, she always looked so stylish.

Wow, sharp eyes, you nailed it! I'll bet the ebay vendor could get a lot more for the coat if he/she had made the Lucy connection, too!

That's one of my favorite shows too! I wouldn't have spotted that, so thanks for sharing

Since we are enjoying seeing vintage Cashin on great female TV stars, I am reposting the link to this thread that show Valerie Harper (Rhoda) on the Mary Tyler Moore Show carrying a double-kisslock Cashin Coach bag:

In case anyone is interested, I just came across this great article about the company that has been making/renting costume jewelry for movies and TV since the 1930s; they've got some great history!
