Sometimes an actor’s or actress’s work isn’t all acting. They have to pose for pictures, often for publicity, and sometimes for charity. Here, we see the gorgeous Loren Bacall posing in a suit made for the film Dark Passage. It is an all-wool suit that is suitable for all seasons. Plus, it also boasted huge patched pockets, a semi-flared skirt double stitched in the center, and full, long sleeves. Designer Bernard Newman created the ensemble for Warner Brothers. This is just a little taste of the fashion extravaganza of the era that is still admired to this day.
