Fashions Favoured By For Film Stars

Navy blue with white has long been a favourite combination of Betty Grable's. Miss Grable especially likes' navy suits with fresh white touches. For example, her two-piece navyblue linen suit features a white pique blouse. The suit skirt is slightly flared. The waist-length bolero jacket is collarless, and features three-quarter length full sleeves. The Peter Pan cellar is worn on the outside of the bolero. Miss Grable's accessories consist of a perky navy blue straw cloche with a white pique band, navy kid pumps and handbag, and white fabric wrist length gloves. XXX Jean Peters, star of the 20th Century-Fox production, "Deep

Waters" loves the outdoors, and finds that cottons are most practical for summer activities. A complete cotton wardrobe lines her closet. One of her summer cottons is a large plaid of lime and black which is a striking contrast to Miss Peters' dark suntan. The dress is strapless—fashionably—with a full skift, and features a matching kerchief for around her shoulders

Peggy Cummins favours overskirts to transform her basic dresses into date dresses. Miss Cummins, who plays opposite Rex Harison in the 20th Century-Fox production "Escape," especially likes a white organdy over-skirt she has had made for summer evenings. The over-skirt simply ties on around the waistline, thus converting a simp l ;/ styled black crepe dress into a chic gown for restaurant or informal parties. She adds a pearl choker and ear-rings, and elbow length white gloves: Her other accesories consist of black ankle strap shoes and a tiny black pouch handbag.
