Saturday Vintage Inspiration: Betty Grable

| Edit Post
I was watching "How to Marry a Millionaire" (1953) last night with Marilyn Monroe, Lauren Bacall, and Betty Grable and just found Betty to be so charming. I've always seen photos of Betty, after all she was the number one pin-up girl during World War II, but this was the first movie I saw with her in it.

The fashions in "How to Marry a Millionare" are quite cute! The three girls portray models all intent to marry rich, (very very rich!) and use their good looks to reel in the men.



BTW, did you know that in her most infamous picture (the 2nd one posted here) she was 5 months pregnant?! I really hope I look that amazing!

    I love How to Marry a Millionaire! The clothes, the apartment, the hilarity. A classic that has stood the test of time.

    I love her hair in that first photo. This is when it was fine to be a curvy woman and not be considered fat.
