Hitchcock's Leading Ladies

I recently watched North by Northwest (1959) by Alfred Hitchcock, again. Oh the esthetics of Hitchcock's movies and the grace and style of his leading ladies:





Eva Marie Saint

 Eva Marie Saint played in North by Northwest (1959). 

I truly love Eva Marie's style in North by Northwest and my absolute favorite would be this dress (or two piece) and the evening dress above- absolutely stunning!

Tippi Herden
Tippi Herden played in Birds (1963).

Tippi and a bird, on set.




Fantastic 60s hairdo's!

 Kim Novak



Kim Novak played the leading role(s)in Vertigo (1958)

Still from Vertigo.


Grace Kelly


Godess dress taken to a whole other level.

Grace and Alfred on the set of Dial M for Murder (1954).
Graceful Grace.
I would of course strongly recommend to watch all of these films for the sake of the film itself, Hitchcock's fantastic storytelling and eye for esthetics but also, of course, for style inspiration.
