EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the timeless glamour of actress Ruth Hussey in her iconic coat dress from the 1939 MGM film "Within the Law." Designed by the esteemed costume designer Dolly Tree, the coat dress is crafted from sleek, sheet black wool, featuring exquisite gold leather trimming inspired by Italian Renaissance embroidery. The front set-in scarlet jersey adds a pop of vibrant color, while the high-crowned black wool turban is brilliantly adorned with the same gold and scarlet trimmings. The ensemble is completed with a patent bag, shoes, and gold leather gauntlet gloves, adding an air of sophistication and elegance. The photograph, taken during the Golden Age of Hollywood, captures the jazz age spirit of the 1930s, a time of glamour and style in American cinema. Ruth Hussey's impeccable fashion sense and the innovative design by Dolly Tree made this costume a standout in the film, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail and artistry of the MGM Studios during this era. The photograph is a testament to the enduring beauty and allure of classic Hollywood and the fashion trends of the 1930s.
