A Must-Have for Fashionistas and EVERYONE ELSE!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Star Style at the Academy Awards: A Century of Glamour (Hardcover)
I thought this book was fantastic too. I just want to add that the description of the book above says black/white photography -- there's lots of color photography in this book and the color is gorgeous. There's also a shot of Marilyn Monroe at the Academy Awards and I have never seen it! I especially loved the special sections on Audrey Hepburn, Bette Davis and Geena Davis, showing how their fashion evolved (the good taste days, not the bad). There's also a section on men. Some of the early fashion is even better than the recent gowns. I agree. This is a must-have!

I love this book. There are so many pictures and so much information..it is such a joy to look through! There are great pictures of everyone from Mary Pickford, Norma Shearer, Vivien Leigh to Celine Dion, Kate Winslet, and Gwyneth Paltrow! A must have for film or fashion buffs! Also recommended: "Star Style", also by Patty Fox.

This review is from: Star Style at the Academy Awards: A Century of Glamour (Hardcover)
Patty Fox follows up her _Star Style_ with this book focusing especially on the fashions worn by actresses at the Oscars from the awards' beginning to the present day. This is a nice book, but it's best appreciated in conjunction with the books from Vanity Fair and People on the same subject so that you get a really comprehensive view of Oscar style over the decade. That said, there are photos in this book (and in the other two) that you don't get in the other sources, so IMO it's worth getting.
