  1. White hot red carpet trend

    Hollywood has had a love affair with head-turning white gowns both on-screen and off for more than half a century. Who can forget Marilyn Monroe's white Travilla halter dress billowing around her waist as she stands atop a subway grate in the 1955 film "The Seven Year Itch"? Or Audrey Hepburn's sleeveless, belted white floral lace dress, designed by Edith Head, from the last scene of the 1953 film "Roman Holiday"? The actress liked it so much, she wore it a second time, when she picked up her lead actress award at the 1954 Oscars ceremony. The recent craze for white on the red carpet kicked off at last year's Academy Awards, when Gwyneth Paltrow wowed in a minimalist white gown and matching cape by Tom Ford. Here are a few more of our favorite white-hot looks from recent months.

  3. Deborah Landis, ever the advocate for costume designers

    Designing costumes so ingrained in popular culture that they still inspire Halloween disguises 30 years after they were created — Michael Jackson's "Thriller" jacket, Indiana Jones' signature outback slouch look and the unforgettable "College" sweatshirt from "Animal House" among them — would be enough of a career accomplishment for most people.

  11. As a fashion icon, Elizabeth Taylor could turn simple into sexy, elegance into excess

    It was a simple white slip – an everyday undergarment for women in the 1960s. But in "Butterfield 8," one of Elizabeth Taylor's most memorable films, the violet-eyed actress – playing the tragic, fiery Gloria Wandrous -- made the staple seem like the sexiest getup in the world.
