An important undergraduate in the Ziegfeld Training School for nurses. She is here depicted as the nurse in the current Follies caricature of Mr. W. Shakespeare’s well-known five-reel heart-thriller—”Romeo and Juliet.” The age of the nurse is open to fair-minded criticism—but no word of carp or cavil could possibly be breathed in regard to her qualifications as a ministering angel. —Vanity Fair, August 1916

One Dress a Day Challenge
Black and White October
Easter Parade / Ann Miller as Nadine Hale
Nadine apparently has tons of dogs and coordinates them with her outfits as extra accessories. Here's what she wears with a pair of borzois.
This costume only appears for a few seconds--the gif above represents about half its total screentime--but it's memorable nonetheless. It's one of the most historically accurate costumes in the film, for a start (this parade sequence takes place in 1912 or 1913). I like the addition of the feather spray on the hat, as compared to the design sketch. The effect of the crossed scarf is interesting too.
