This photo is all of my favorite things in one place — Veruschka looks amazing, the high, wide chignon has always been one of my favorite do's, the bold jewels and then there is that dress. Oh my, oh my, oh MY! That dress ! If you ever come across this dress anywhere you must immediately call me and we shall both agree here and now that it is mine. I call a universal, non-ending dibs on it right here, right now!
The other thing I love about this photo is that even though it is from an issue of Vogue from 1965 - which was an astounding 47 years ago now — a modern girl could easily wear this exact outfit and still look chic. The unseen shoes would need updating — shoes are just not the same anymore — but really, take away the instagram feel filtering (ironic since it's NOT filtering but the real photo effect of the time — technology has changed a wee bit too) and maybe tone down the make-up by two spatula's full and this is still a drop dead and shockingly modern look.
In fact, if I ever find this dress I will wear it exactly as shown and post a photo here! Hear that universe? Make it so (please)
