Beschreibung:

A Mitzi Gaynor gown by Dior worn at the New York premiere of South Pacific Cream-colored silk tulle strapless evening gown embellished with small silver sequins and slightly larger rhinestones densely decorating the bodice, gradually growing in size and space over the skirt, with several more layers of tulle underneath to create a full effect. The style of the gown is emblematic of the 1950s with its bell-shaped skirt and overall silhouette. On one of the most exciting nights of her life, Mitzi dazzled in this original Dior gown which she accessorized with a white fur stole. The premiere took place on March 19, 1958 at the Criterion Theatre in New York, and Mitzi basked in the glow of her fans and the barrage of photographers for whom she posed with her husband, Jack Bean, co-star Rossano Brazzi, other stars from the film, and myriad other celebrities who were on hand for the big event. Accompanied by a photo of Mitzi wearing the gown.
