Charles Vidor’s dazzling 1946 film GILDA is an erotic, thrilling Hollywood noir. Set in Buenos Aires and starring the incomparable Rita Hayworth in one of her greatest roles, Vidor’s film also features some of the most glamorous (and notorious) costumes in Hollywood history, created by the famous French costume designer Jean Louis.
As Columbia Pictures’ head designer from 1944 to 1958, Louis had a unique flair for making unforgettable looks for the leading ladies he dressed. On the occasion of GILDA’s release, we took a look back at a selection of the remarkable designs Jean Louis created for the film’s radiant star—from luxurious evening gowns to sparkling sequined coats—which are every bit as impressive today as they were seventy years ago.
