One Dress a Day Challenge
October: White Redux
King Kong (2005) / Naomi Watts as Ann Darrow
The dress Ann wears for the final sequence with Kong strongly recalls the one worn by Fay Wray in the original 1933 film (see below for comparison). It's even more sleek and streamlined, but the clean lines are deceptive. The dress has a surprising amount of detail, from the asymmetrical waist and row of side buttons to the silver shoulder clasps and sprinkling of crystals over the shoulder straps and left hip. There's a sort of reverse cowl neck effect over the shoulder blades, and the skirt falls longer in back than in front. According to this page with a thorough analysis of the dress, it's made of a very thin velvet.
The costume designer for this movie was Terry Ryan.

Peter Jackson's King Kong Game Soundtrack - Ann Leaves
Movie level composition production. Ann was pretty badass in the game frfr, in the movie she stood up to Kong. Here she chucking spears, mending wounds for everyone, helping Kong get to different areas, parkour.
She had Kong’s protection, but you notice there were times she wasn’t always in his presence. She survived it all, without guns. Woman was built for it.

Here’s to all the mothers out there. The mothers who raise their kids to be people with good hearts, who raise them to stand up for others who can’t. The women who treated you like their own, the mothers who will always be there for you no matter what happens or where you are.

Capítulo I
Ni siquiera en la oscuridad del crepúsculo y tras el manto de nieve que flotaba ligeramente, el Wanderer era algo más que un modesto y viejo carguero de cabotaje.

One Dress a Week Challenge
May: Gold & Silver
King Kong (1976) / Jessica Lange as "Dwan" (Ann Darrow?)
Although this film was given a contemporaneous 1970s setting, the dress Dwan/Ann wears for the climactic performance where she ends up getting carried off to the top of a tall building (the World Trade Center, in this version) has a definite nod to the styles of the 1933 original film. It's backless, with a geometric, sort of Art Deco-style belt. The display mannequin shows wrist cuffs that match the belt as well, but in the actual film she just wears a diamond bracelet.
When she first arrives, Dwan/Ann briefly wears a filmy cape over the dress, but it is quickly removed. Later, while hanging out in a deserted bar after escaping from Kong for the first time, she randomly tries on a fur coat over it too.
I had never seen this movie before discovering the dress. The giant ape effects are occasionally stiff, but overall, they're really not bad for the era! The gowns were done by Anthea Sylbert, who also costumed Chinatown.
