Celebrating My BIRTHDAY with DORIS DAY!!! -- A Dazzling Look at Doris Day's Flair for Fashion in Film!!!
Today is Doris Day's Birthday!!!
(and Mine, too!)
In honor of this special occasion, I have joined... "The Doris Day Blogathon" hosted by: "Love Letters to Old Hollywood", which is taking place April 1-3!
For this 3 Day Tribute to Doris Day, Bloggers were asked to "write about anything relating to Day -- her films, her music, her personal life, her work with animals, her role as a style icon, the list goes on!" The clincher was there were to be "no duplicates." Since most of my favorite Doris Day films were already chosen by other writers, I decided to feature a post today ALL about the Fashion of Doris Day in Film! And, if you are familiar with Doris Day's movies, then you already know - her fashion was a significant factor in each of her films!

Yellow Sundresses, Hats, Beaded ball-gowns, Gloves, Cardigans, Pearls, Day Suits, Kitten Heels, and so on...
all come to mind when I think of Doris Day movies! As I've looked deeper into her films, I've realized how often Doris transforms from one persona to another, most often Girl-Next-Door to Glamour Girl Movie/Singing Star.
Instead of your simple standard Night and Day transformation, I call it... from Night to "Doris" Day!

There's no denying how striking Doris Day was on the big screen, whether in black & white, Color, or Technicolor in 1948 - which is where her film career began with 'Romance on the High Seas.' I can only imagine what movie goers and producers back then must have thought of her as she was the ultimate triple threat. Doris Day could ACT (what a fun, warm, spirited personality she has - which shined on and off screen!), SING (oh my, what a beautiful, cheerful, lilting voice!), and DANCE (she could rival and keep up with all the greats!)... and yes, she was quite Lovely on screen, too!!!
In 'Romance on the High Seas'... Doris Day becomes a performer on a cruise ship and her dresses are certainly show-stoppers! All I can say is - "It's Magic!" (yes, that is also the title of one of the amazing songs Doris sings in the movie!)

"the Girl next door" - to "Singing Sensation!"
'It's a Great Feeling!'

In "On Moonlight Bay" and "By the Light of the Silvery Moon" Doris Day blossoms from a rough and tough sporty Tom-Boy into a genteel blushing feminine beauty!

A cardigan with pearls was the perfect look for Doris Day in 'Tea for Two,' as she practiced singing along with Gordon McRae a special tune!!! |

In 'Love Me or Leave Me' ... Doris is Dramatic and Powerful in her Performance as singer Ruth Etting. This role required a more alluring look for Doris Day, which is evident in the dresses she wore on stage...
