The Chums

For early spring, the sheer woolen will be favored by Hollywood’s younger set. Ida Lupino, Paramount player with Bing Crosby in ANYTHING GOES, has chosen this greyish beige frock for informal daytime wear. The neckline is interesting and the black antelope belt gives the proper accent. Shoes, bag, gloves and tailored felt hat form the smart accessory lineup. Courtesy on Bonwit Teller, New York.

Dusty aqua marine wool crepe has been used by Milo Anderson for this stunning costume worn by Ida Lupino in Warner’s THEY DRIVE BY NIGHT.  The fitted dress is topped with a backcape formed of tiers of self fabric.  The cape has an epaulet effect across the front.  A medallion of aqua marines has a cordlike section which crosses from the left bosom and forms an upstanding collar.  Her pillbox of self fabric has a voluminous veil.

The Persian motif is followed in a Banton-designed hostess costume worn by Ida Lupino, who has just come from England under contract to Paramount.  The tunic coat and long, narrow skirt are achieved in heavy silver and red brocaded metal cloth.

FASHIONS GO PATRIOTIC

Ida Lupino is a firm believer in wartime fashions that are patriotic and at the same time colorful and feminine.  During the making of “Life Begins at Eight-Thirty” for 20th Century-Fox, she found time to dream up this dinner costume with satin-striped mousseline skirt in shocking-pink and white over pink taffeta teamed with  a “shirtwaist” of starched white chiffon.  Reminiscent of the Gay Nineties, Ida think this is the kind of outfit that appeals to service men, and she should know, for here husband, Louis Hayward, is now on active duty with the United States Marines.

A NOVEL FAD - is introduced into the current millinery trend by Ida Lupino, Paramount player in “Anything Goes.”  Of black velvet matching her suit, Ida’s beret-like turban has an inverted pleat across the center of the crown accented by two ermine tails just above the forehead.

BETWEEN SCENES - “Anything Goes,” Ida Lupino lounges comfortably in a two-piece pyjama of sapphire blue crepe.  A deeper blue scarf tucks into the neckline and matches Ida’s low-heeled sandals.
