Beschreibung:

A Mitzi Gaynor formal dress attributed to Lanvin-Castillo, worn to the London premiere of South Pacific Cream-colored sleeveless formal dress of lace in a floral design, with a bateau neckline, accented with silver metallic thread throughout, with a full skirt supported by a crinoline, and a large dramatic bow with long tails highlighting the back waist. The anticipation of Broadway's smash hit South Pacific being made into a film resulted in several lavish premieres when it was released in 1958 including New York, London, Los Angeles, and at the World's Fair in Brussels, Belgium. The London premiere was held on April 21, 1958 at the Dominion Theatre, where the film would ultimately run continuously for an historic 4 years and 22 weeks. Mitzi dazzled in this elegant dress which she paired with a white fur. Accompanied by a vintage photo of Mitzi wearing the gown.
