@cinematicstarss: The Art Déco "Peacock" Gown (1926). Designed by MGM's André-Ani, Kathleen May, and Maude Marsh, this breathtaking black velvet evening gown was worn by silent film icon Norma Shearer in the 1926 drama, 'Upstage'. Captured here by legendary portrait photographer Ruth Harriet Louise, the dress features a dramatically low back and a sweeping train adorned with shimmering, metallic sequined "peacock feathers." Beyond its sheer elegance, the dress was a masterpiece of Hollywood illusion, strategically tailored with elongated lines to give Shearer a tall, statuesque silhouette on the silver screen. This is by far my favourite gown to ever exist🦚 #fashion #normashearer #oldhollywood #1920s #blowup — old Hollywood fashion, gowns, dresses, 27 dresses, peacocks, fyp
