Self-Styled Siren's Blog Post

I was recently scouring the internet for a blog similar to my own. After a few pages in of a Google search, I came across a blog about film. The Self-Styled Siren writes mostly movie reviews on classic films, but a post I came across from 2010 discusses her top 10 greatest moments of costume design. Though it is an older post, The Siren still blogs regularly. I am thrilled to find this post as my blog tends to discuss costumes from more recent films while her post discusses movies from the past. Here are my favorites from her list.

Jean Seberg in Breathless

The birth of the t-shirt and tight pants look. Not only does she look effortless and careless, her attitude reflects it too. 

Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina

This one didn't need to convince me of its merit on this list. Designed but Givenchy, Hepburn exudes glamour, sophistication, and confidence. The Siren exequently states the following: 

 "Sabrina, the lovelorn chaffeur's daughter, has learned poise and confidence, the essential elements of style. Even the least observant visitor to Paris sees that a fashionable Frenchwoman wears chic clothing because she IS self-assured, not because she WANTS to be. This, this is what Paris and a genius designer can do for you!" 

Kay Francis in Mandalay

I had never heard of Kay Francis before or this movie, but I can see why she would make The Sirens list. In her silver dress, she looks eye catching and stunning. Any film buff can see how impactful a dress like that can have on the costume and film industry.

I really enjoyed The Sirens blog post. It has been hard finding other blogs similar to my own, so I am excited to find another blog to keep up with.
