ID: 0802251 Size: small Condition: excellent A totally glamorous and incredibly rare Helen Rose designer couture blush-pink fully beaded gown dating back to the early 1960's. Helen Rose won two Academy Awards for Best Costume Design; "The Bad and the Beautiful" in 1952 and for "I'll Cry Tomorrow" in 1955. She was nominated a further eight times and was well known for designing famous iconic looks of the stars for this era. She designed the wedding dress of Grace Kelly when she married Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1956. She also designed clothing for Elizabeth Taylor in the movies "Father of the Bride" and "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof", as well as Elizabeth Taylor's bridal gown when she married Conrad Nicky Hilton. Helen Rose, like Edith Head and Irene Lentz, was one of the rare women who became chief costume designer for a major film studio. Her style was elegant and understated but still extremely innovative.
This sparkling blush-pink showstopper is a perfect example of her pure genius. T
