Loveliness. I'm loving that dress!

 

You mean Christie's, right?   It's mind-boggling beautiful to me.   So unbelievably flattering to Christie's figure.   I wish they'd put Kate in a dress more like that - they'd have been better matched.  Christie kind of steals the show here, IMHO.

No Kate's in terms of my personal taste. Now if we're gonna talk about a flattering dress yes Christie takes the cake. She's like 60 and she's looks like that?! Its outrageous.

Jayne Mansfield.

If we are talking about sex icons of the 50s and 60s, Kate reminds me most of her.

Certainly in terms of their body types.

She's definitely a combo of the two: MM and Jayne. Body wise I would say Jayne agreeably. But her flirtiness and fresh look remind me more of MM.

Yes the Vanity Fair shoot has Marilyn's influence. Marilyn photographed in that gold lamé dress are one of the most used pictures of her. Very few people "own" a piece of clothing but Marilyn Monroe definitely owns the white halterneck dress and also the gold one. I bet whoever designed Kate's dress was inspired by Travilla's exquisite work.

 

And it's probably not just magazines but the models themselves might try to channel a legendary beauty to evoke a certain feeling. Like Adriana Lima has mentioned imagining she is Marilyn Monroe or Sophia Loren. It's not that far fetched to think that Kate might do that too to a certain degree since at least on two occasions (Letterman and Halloween party) she has done the iconic white halterneck dress look.

 

Plus Kate has a sweet looking face which in my opinion is one of the most important things to pull off Marilyn's style. So many beautiful women have tried but end up looking hard. Kate is not in danger of that. In my opinion, someone like Anna Nicole Smith was closer to Jayne Mansfield than Kate is.
