January 10, 2018 – 1950’s everything was all the rage on Sunday evening when the SIE Film Center and Denver Film Society hosted a special screening of the movie Phantom Thread. Starring Daniel Day Lewis in the 1950’s London fashion era, he played a renowned dressmaker who crossed paths with a beautiful young woman, one that eventually changes his bachelor confirmed ways. Twists change the predicted plot line dramatically throughout creating an unforeseeable movie. Fortunately, we got to spend the evening with timeless fashion as styles hit the red carpet, daring all their best designer wear. Here are some of our favorite looks:
Kicking off the evening was the exuberant radio and TV personnel Denise Plante. Her gorgeous vintage inspired dress was perfect to steal the spotlight in all night. The black mesh overlay created the perfect voluptuous flare to her tulle skirt. The white polka dots were the cherry on top; not to mention black and white polka dots are totally back in style RIGHT NOW! And she could never forget how important it is to make sure her dress spun perfectly under the right circumstances. 
Judith Boyd, better known as Style Crone, took over next. It was hard to decide what piece I enjoyed best from her fabulous ensemble. Between the matching satin ivory headpiece and glove set to the stunning silver metallic ballgown, Style Crone was poised, elegant, and sophisticated – everything a 1950’s inspired fashionista should be. 
This stunning couple waltzed down the red carpet like they belonged there. Kiri’s gorgeous black satin peplum dress flattered her so perfectly for the occasion. She didn’t stop there though. Paired with a dainty but stated necklace, a faux fur overlay, satin gloves, a Beauty and the Beast-esque clutch, and black heels, she came prepared to strut the carpet. 
Michelle Baldwin, @viviennevavoom, must have pulled out her most overstated shirt in her wardrobe but I couldn’t have loved it more! Her diner-esque multicolored button down was styled ever so perfectly with a black flared midi skirt cinching the waist… of course – its the 1950’s! A little black hat and purse topped off the entire look. She grazed the carpet with such grace, a true beam of light. 
I wish we could bring back the popularity of ringlet updos and high waisted slacks for men. The 1950’s era of fashion is sometimes looked over but always remembered as timeless. Today, I find that my personal style is often inspired by hints from this era as its classic style offers a full range of styling options.
