EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Maureen O'Sullivan, the Irish-born actress, exudes an aura of youthful glamour as she dons an elegant evening gown designed by Dolly Tree for the 1936 film "Devil Doll." This stunning ensemble, which was not featured in the movie, showcases the simplicity and sophistication of 1930s Hollywood fashion. The gown, made of white tulle, achieves an ethereal effect that is both timeless and modern. The fabric's delicate layers cascade gracefully around O'Sullivan's slender frame, creating a sense of lightness and grace. A narrow velvet sash, cinched at the waist, adds a touch of color and definition to the otherwise monochromatic look. The intricate detailing of the gown is further accentuated by the inclusion of fabric cornflowers at the waist and in the actress's hair. This delicate floral motif adds an air of whimsy and romance to the ensemble, making it the perfect choice for a jazz age soiree. The photograph was taken during the height of the Golden Age of Hollywood, when Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) Studios was at the forefront of film production. Dolly Tree, a renowned costume designer of the era, was responsible for creating the stunning costumes that graced the silver screen during this time. This photograph is a testament to the artistry and creativity that defined Hollywood fashion in the 1930s. As O'Sullivan gazes off into the distance, her enchanting smile and captivating presence leave no doubt that she was a true star of the silver screen. This photograph, with its timeless beauty and elegant design, is a reminder of the enduring allure of Hollywood glamour and the fashion of the jazz age.
