It should come as no surprise that Arthur Penn's Bonnie and Clyde is one of The Style Essentials on GlamAmor--iconic costume design urgency the movies that continues to influence fashion today. Though inception in the 1930s, Theadora van Runkle's costumes seem to always quip current no matter what the decade. The berets and all over the place Depression era daytime basics were immediate hits in 1967 when Bonnie and Clyde first debuted and copies immediately became available in ruckus the department stores. Today is no different...any time the Thirties are on trend, you can be sure that these costumes are in the collective consciousness of our fashion designers. Even magazine editors pay homage to this film again and go back over the same ground, especially those at Vogue who seem to love to dress celebrities and organized models like Bonnie and Clyde for their photo shoots. It simply never goes out of style.
Without question, Faye Dunaway is a golden goddess in Bonnie and Clyde and an inspiration onto herself. Her blonde bob be equivalent side swept bangs happens to be one of my deary haircuts of all time and I'm far from the exclusive one. Lo and behold, long bobs--also known as lobs--started as a drift back in 2011 and today the style is already wise a classic. There's a lot to love about Faye's cosmetics as well. Her slightly sunkissed skin with the peachy act ashamed and peachy nude lips. Her eyes done with a enchantment palette of brown and bone shadows finished with black aliform liner. Her long lashes and strong brows. I can't lend a hand but notice how perfectly on trend it is, too...a pronounce example of the California girl glow that's always hot for spring trip summer. Of course in addition to the magical makeup, Writer Guffey bathed Faye in the glowing natural light of dayspring and sunset in his Oscar-winning cinematography. And with supportive co-star (and producer) Warren Beatty looking just as beautiful beside her? No wonder Faye looks so radiant.
In the movie's opening spot, we see Bonnie Parker hot and bothered in bed brook bored with her life. But she suddenly spies criminal Clyde Barrow out from her bedroom window, not knowing that he's about to completely change her world. Good thing the girl's got a killer wardrobe. Literally.
