EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the magic of Old Hollywood as Rosalind Russell and Dolly Tree grace the set of MGM's "Manproof" in 1938. In the image, Russell dons an extraordinary bridal costume designed by none other than Dolly Tree. The medieval-inspired gown, made of heavy off-white satin, boasts a moulded figure with a slight flare at the hemline and along the train. The sleeves are full at the shoulder and extreme, creating a regal and dramatic effect. The high, severe neckline adds an air of mystery and sophistication. Dolly Tree's hat design, reminiscent of the King Arthur period, is a stunning complement to the gown. Crafted from cellophane gauze, the hat exudes a transparent silver effect, giving it a ethereal and otherworldly quality. The hat's height is striking, with a tight-fitting band encircling Russell's face, drawing attention to her expressive features. The 1930s, a decade marked by glamour and innovation in Hollywood, is exemplified in this photograph. The fusion of jazz age energy and classic Hollywood elegance is on full display, making this image a true treasure from the golden age of cinema.
