At the gala party, given for Joan Fontaine by her husband Bill Dozier at Romanoff’s, Joan promptly and appropriately took the honors in the clothes department. Her dress, of cherry red, heavy, shiny satin, featured a low, square-cut neckline, a skintight bodice, and a waistline that dipped in front. Fore, the skirt was very snug. Aft, it was a large, puffy bustle.
Joan wore matching red platform sandals and no jewelry. And her hair, softly drawn back from a center part, was caught in a huge but simple bun at the nape of the neck.
Joan, incidentally, recently brought back from New York a very smart gadget in the way of a handbag. It’s solid gold, built in two layers, with room for all the essentials — cosmetics, money, hankies and even cigarettes — that usually require a bag at least twice its size.
Rosalind Russell’s dreamy souffle gown of black was another highlight at Joan’s party. The bodice was basque, but the skirt, billowing when she danced, seemed to be made of at least twenty yards of fabric. At the low point of the diagonal neckline was an enormous bow-like pouf of stiff black net. The only trimming!
Even her black satin evening pumps showed La Russell’s beautiful taste in clothes and accessories. Her dancing slippers had small, square-cut steel buckles, that are so much in vogue now, clipped on right over the instep.
At the same fete, Gene Tierney looked lovely in a simple, flowing evening gown of soft, flame-colored velvet. The neck was low and square in front, a low V in back. The bodice, dramatically plain and long waisted, was gored to fit like second skin. The skirt, contrastingly, was wide and sweeping. Gene favors these lines. The dress she wore to the New York premiere of " The Razor’s Edge” was cut in the same way.
