Not-a-Dress November
Seven Sinners / Marlene Dietrich as Bijou Blanche
Of course we all knew Marlene Dietrich could rock a tailcoat, but I only recently learned she appeared in a naval uniform too! Honestly, the costume itself isn't unusual--it's just the fact that she's the one wearing it. It just goes to show that she can make anything look extra-stylish just by putting it on (although there may be some subtle tailoring to make it look more flattering on her). I also notice that the wide-legged pants are not too different from the pants women were (starting to) wear at the time.
The movie isn't available for streaming, so I don't know the context. If she is actually trying to pass as a man, you'd think the nail polish would raise a few eyebrows!
