The Best Dress in Hollywood







Madame Shock is wading deeply into her vintage storage closets, seeking the perfect outfit for tomorrow's star-studded Friends Without A Border Benefit Gala (did Madame nearly just write "Friends Without Benefits?" Did someone switch her WWD for FHM?)

It must be an outfit, of course - coordinated coat, dress, shoes, jewelry, purse. But while vintage cocktail dresses are quite easily found, truly formal, long vintage dresses and coats are rather rare (even in Madame's capacious closets).

What, exactly, does Madame seek? Something utterly original, creative, and memorable from entrance to exit, of course. With all due respect to the soiree's Golden Age dress code, she really wants an outfit like that most dramatic, most outrageously sexy woman in Breakfast At Tiffany's. No, not the angel-goddess-patron-saint of all things chic & elegant. The other one - the one that was amusingly and superficially talented.

Now that woman knew how to make an entrance and exit. Or at least we can assume her clothes did.
