One Dress a Week Challenge
May: Gold & Silver
Restoration (1995) / Polly Walker as Celia Clemence
Celia wears this ornate metallic gown for the brief scene in which she and Robert are officially betrothed. I am honestly not sure whether this dress is gold or silver! If I had to guess, I’d say pale gold–but it looks gold in some shots and silver in others, and the fact that the whole scene is bathed in golden light confuses the matter further. Either way, it creates a spectacular effect, helped along by lavish jewelry.
James Acheson won a well-deserved Oscar for the costume design in this film.
