Ava Gardner swimsuit

Costume
Constructed bandeau and panties deux-pièces.

TML.

Actions
Miss Gardner sits by the pool, hands together in front of her (1).

Commentary
This constructed strapless shows the advances of the swimsuit in mainstream Hollywood. Despite the excesses of the French, mainstream Hollywood stars, like Ava, keep their belly button covered.

In the Barefoot Contessa, Gardner is exquisitely lovely and beautifully gowned by the Italian couturier Fontana. There is one particularly stunning strapless lavender satin gown, beaded in black and white, and a bolero jacket with long trailing sleeves.

strong trend in fashion this season is the forties style. Old Hollywood glamour is being revived by A-list designers such as:Alberta Ferretti, Blumarine, Bottega Veneta, Calvin Klein, Dior, Dsquared2, Giorgio Armani, Gucci, Jil Sander, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Nina Ricci, Ralph Lauren, Roberto Cavalli, Versace.
Ava Gardner, Rita Hayworth and Veronica Lake inspired the "vamp" look of the season: elbow gloves, high heeled t-strap shoes and sexy siren dresses in sheer fabrics, draped silk and satin, with sparkling appliqué, strapless or with billowy sleeves, "accessorized" with wavy curls and red lipstick.
 
Ava is so beautiful, a magical woman... Thanks, Nmyngan! You are a great member of the Fashion Spot Forum.
