Mugler taught her well.

Town where Kelly was born is Kiama.. pronounced Kye-am-a. Southern New South Wales..half way from Sydney to Melbourne. I particularly loved his 1930s dresses. Thank you 🦘

Find the Dior cookbook he illustrated, it is exquisite.

Jezebel 😅 He designed the red dress in perfect period form . The red dress was a part of the main script Showing her defiance , wearing red was seen as uncouth. To wear inappropriate attire for A LADY of wealth.

Who is Bet Davis? LOL

He made the lead lady look beautiful timeless classic style 🎉

The first Trinity of Supermodels were literally so iconic.

Although I would recognize Wilde from any photo, it occurred to me that not only had I never read his works, I never read a bio either. So, a quarter of the way into this I paused and went to the library's website and put on hold a 2021 biography of Wilde and his Monologues. That will hopefully bring me up to speed! Thanks for the video!

Where are the images?

Wish the narration didn’t sound so fake (AI), with weird breaks in the reading. Also most of the photos seem completely random and do not match the narration. It left me feeling like I was being mis-informed.

❤❤❤

Narration is repetitive crap. The visual is ok but you could skip this one.

Things have really changed since Oscar lived as people are more accepting of differences in human nature.

WHO THE HELL IS "BET DAVIS?"

We love the glamorous clothes worn in the old Hollywood films. His designs were gorgeous and so were the lucky actresses who wore them ....😍🤩💃❤️🤍💙

Yes! The 80’s super glorious models were the template for the “supermodels” to come later. All the superlative women who skyrocketed to fame!

He wasn’t pretty, but he made pretty things.

I knew some actresses' names were mispronounced but loved watching this! Orry-Kelly always intrigued me. That red dress that Bette Davis wore in Jezebel was not seen in color but you could sense it ❤

Thank you for introducing me to Orry Kelly! What I like about this channel is that it represents and curates unsung fashion heroes. I've learned and discovered so much through you. 💙

These voices drive me crazy…..they are fake, none are cable of pronouncing words correctly and it is all just cringe. WHY can no one narrate a utube video increasingly these fake voices REPEATING AND REPEATING same sentences endlessly ruins what could be interesting, informative. Gets better when this voice SHUTS UP and music plays. Who decides? If I had a video I wanted to be on utubeI would hire some one with what used to be BROADCAST TRAINED VOUCE. People either use their own voice unaware that it is nauseating, usually shrill, up and down sing songy Awful. Or now guess its computer voice that is dumber than an untrained porcupine. ( for lack of any better words to describe)

I very much enjoyed this video and learned a lot. But, like some of the other people commenting, I noticed an error. For the photo of Marilynn Monroe wearing the the white dress in the iconic scene from The Seven Year Itch the narrator says that Orry-Kelly designed the dress but th caption with the photo says it was William Travilla and when I Googled it to find out what was correct numerous entries said it was William Travilla.

Thanks! So informative! "Bette" pronounced Bet-tee. The final e is not silent.

Its BETTY not BET… dumbass AI

I really hate AI narration. Pay a human dammit and, have someone check the pronunciation and grammar.

People actually getting angry because an AI voice isnt grammatically correct is rediculous. As long as you know what it means, thats what matters. The newer voice overs are getting better. And i might add that in this case the AI is correct. Bette is prounced "Bet" as in Midler. Davis preferred the spelling end with an E and not a Y

"Stole the show" or "the dress overpowered the actress" are thee exact kinds of words spoken from a Green Eyed jealous person. All of Orry-Kelly's creations were perfection ! Otherwise, why did he get nominated for so many awards ? Although it looks like he was a mad scientist doing his own thing in his lab, the real facts are much different. A costume designer was important, as Hollywood learned, BUT they didn't have the power. They had to work in harmony with a lot of other department heads as well as the actors. Sadly, they also had to deal with all kinds of idiots who were given "titles" for a production. { who slept with who, who owes a favor, etc.... Hollywood was full of these kinds of hollow parasitic positions.} This is where he probably got his so called difficult reputation. Great job of a Bio ❣

His work for Natalie Wood in 'Gypsy' is phenomenal, even though some gowns appeared only once in a single brief scene.

This is pure nonsense. Milo Anderson designed the costumes for Mildred Pierce, and as for the rest of the narration, what rubbish!

How can we take this seriously when the narrator doesn't know how to pronounce the names of famous Golden Age stars. It might be Bette Midler but Bette Davis' first name is definitely pronounced Betty Davis - as anyone knows who's spent any time at all with classic Hollywood.

He never designed for Joan Crawford!!

Bette is pronounced as Betty, not Beth !

AI narrator gets “Bette” Davis wrong every time. It’s the giveaway that it is AI. Try writing it as “Betty.” I enjoy your channel otherwise.

Orry-Kelly was one of Hollywood’s most iconic costume designers, known for his exceptional ability to enhance storytelling through fashion. With three Academy Awards to his name, he created timeless looks for stars like Bette Davis and Marilyn Monroe, leaving an indelible mark on the Golden Age of cinema. His designs not only defined glamour but also set standards for costume design in film history. I look forward to your comments and fashion questions!❤

Thank you for you such a great work

I took notice of the classic films as a child; first as just a participant in just watching films for fun, or it's drama. Marilyn Monroe as Sugar in "Some like it Hot" on TV 📺 around 1967 she was stunning in Kellys white beaded flapper dress that actually contours her breasts naturally. What a dedicated designer. As I progressed into reading it's movie's history, I then started to take notice on the set decorations, lighting and cinematography. Cecil B. De Mille and Josef von Sternberg, Hitchcock and Ford. But then it was the women in the films, notably Garbo as designed by Adrian, Dietrich by Travis Banton and Orry-Kelly by far the most impressionable one, Kay Francis, Dolores del Rio were exceptionally enchanted in the modern costume yet due to his historical if not all accuracy designing for Bette Davis in Queen Elizabeth; with the large collars and cuffs that conveyed the power or as the empress Carlotta in Juarez or as a southern belle in "Jezebel" The white tulle and laces to suggest youth and innocence as opposed to the mature looking gown of heavy crocheted lace reflected the hard personality of the character Bette played in "the little Foxes". I believe his last film as designer was for the beautiful aging Ava Gardner as a Russian baroness in Nicolas Ray's 1963 "55 days at Peking". He bridged the gap between realism and fantasy. I was hooked, in not just watching but watching in making comparison of a genre a great 🎨🎭 art.

Thank you for beautiful and clear English..💖 📽️🎞️🎼🎹📺🎬

Anna Bayle played a mentorship role for some of the biggest names in fashion, including Linda Evangelista and Naomi Campbell. 🇵🇭Asia’s first supermodel, shattered stereotypes in the '80s fashion world, dominating runways from Paris to New York. Known for her signature “Anna Bayle walk,” she became a muse for top designers like Thierry Mugler and Yves Saint Laurent. After 17 years in the cutthroat fashion industry, she retired in the mid-‘90s.

Thank you so much for this excellent video! Such a dainty fashion!

Nobody can be like her.
