Hedy Lamarr's 'peacock dress', designed by Edith Head, for "Samson and Delilah", 1949. I heard the feathers were gathered from the grounds of Cecil B. DeMille's estate.

One Dress a Day Challenge

November: Oscar winners

Samson and Delilah / Hedy Lamarr as Delilah

Year: 1950

Designers: Edith Head, Dorothy Jeakins, Elois Jenssen, Gile Steele and Gwen Wakeling

I've meant to revisit this spectacular dress ever since it first featured in Coeli's picks, and since today was Hedy Lamarr's birthday, this seems an appropriate time. Delilah wears a jaw-dropping array of costumes in this film, each one more sumptuous than the last. Just when you think they couldn't possibly top the last one, she shows up for the finale in this peacock gown!

The cape is lavishly adorned with real feathers. Legend says they were "donated" by the peacocks owned by Paramount Studios!

The costume was part of Debbie Reynolds' collection, and it has survived in remarkably good condition.

Everyone be like: Eww Delilah was an evil (but sexy) woman. Samson was so dumb to trust her (in both ways winks).

Me: Samson knew very well that Delilah was betraying him. He had trauma from when his first wife was forced to betray him, and when he left her, it got her killed, which was his biggest regret. So how could he leave Delilah if that would put her in harm's way?

#I dont remember Samson's first wife's name... Did she even have one??? #This is just me overthinking when reading the bible guys dont mind me #I had the biggest crush on Samson from The Bible (2013) #bible #bible fandom #samson and delilah

On May 28, 1916 Camille Saint-Saëns conducted his own opera "Samson and Dalila" at the age of 81.

On the old postcard we see scene from the opera.
