Movie-icon: «Daylight Beauty» Belle de jour

Another flashy movie image is “Daylight Beauty” starring Catherine Deneuve. In this movie we see a young married woman of a high society for who “even the coldest wine isn’t cold enough”. Specific costumes for this movie were made by her good friend Yves Saint-Laurent. Especially I remember little black dress with white collar at the end of the movie...

 

…and austere sand-colored dress in the beginning.

For more than 40 years designers still can’t cease to reproduce the image of beautiful and alienated Séverine in their collections and photographers use the image on models and actresses to get a sensual and enigmatic picture.
