An in depth look at Barbra Streisand’s iconic style in life, onstage & in film 👗Curated by fashion historian & Streisandholic @reneenicolegray.

One of the things I wish more people knew about Ba

One of the things I wish more people knew about Barbra’s style is that she’s a talented fashion designer in her own right. So many of her most famous outfits were self designed and made in collaboration with famous designers. Here’s an old Los Angeles Times article talking about some of her work, including that famous “peekaboo pantsuit” she designed with Donna Karan. #barbrastreisand #streisandstylefiles #streisand #barbra #fashionhistory #fashion

Some big changes and are coming to Streisand Style

Hello, Queen Maud!? Could this 1897 gown have been

Hello, Queen Maud!? Could this 1897 gown have been the inspiration for Irene Sharaff’s Hello, Dolly! costume? It is well known that Sharaff was famous for her manipulation of color, historic research and detail that translated into her work. She credited her background of training to be a painter for her skill at using color so wonderfully.
Queen Maud wore her stunning lattice gown to a grand fancy 1897 ball that was hosted in London by the Duchess of Devonshire in honor of Queen Victoria’s 1897 Jubilee. Prior to Maud’s marriage, she was the Princess of Wales. Afterward, she became known as Princess Carl of Denmark. She and her husband would unexpectedly become the King and Queen of Norway just eight years later. Attendees of this ball came dressed as pre-1815 Renaissance historical figures. This inspiration is easily seen in this design. The gown was made by French designers Victoire Morin and Marie Blossier and is described by The National Museum in Oslo as having been made with “machine-woven silk fabric and metal appliqué embroidery, with metal sequins, glass beads, and glass stones.” It also features a standing ruff, smocked sleeves, metallic thread in a striking lattice pattern, and a silk lining. This lattice pattern bears so much similarity to the most distinct element of Sharaff’s design for Hello, Dolly! Sharaff’s gown was saved by Debbie Reynolds and sold at auction in 2011. Today, Queen Maud’s gown resides at the National Museum in Oslo (Inventory no: OK-1991-0256) and Sharaff’s gown remains back in the position of its original wearer, Barbra Streisand, who keeps it lovingly displayed in her vintage fashion room. #hellodolly #barbrastreisand #streisand #irenesharaff #queenmaud #thenationalmuseum #fashionhistory #costumedesign

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! See any resemblance?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! See any resemblance? This costume has always reminded me of Charlie Brown! Designed by Arnold Scaasi, this look was worn by Barbra Streisand during a cut sequence from the song “Come Back To Me” in “On A Clear Day You Can See Forever” (1970).
During this scene @barbrastreisand’s character Daisy Gamble trotted through the Central Park Zoo eating popcorn, and is shocked as various animals sing to her (via the voice of Yves Montand.) Director Vincente Minnelli later said that the scene was cut because the outfit looked too extreme.
This geometric zig-zagged outfit contains three vibrant pieces, all made from wool. The balaclava fits tightly around the head and is lined in heavy wool felt. This wraps around the neck and has snap, hook and eye closures. Patent vinyl detailing accents the zig-zag pattern. The cape jacket features mixed patterns of horizontal and vertical yellow, black and white zig-zags. There is a black lining and multiple snap closures down the front. The stand-up collar makes the look especially distinct and memorable. Bell-bottom pants covered in zig-zags and more patent vinyl trim complete this unique look. This costume sold at auction in 2004 for $8,000.00.
