...an.homage.to.dame.elizabeth.taylor...

Today we have lost one of the most iconic and influential women in the world... Dame Elizabeth Taylor passed away today, at the age of 79 of heart failure. Waking up to this horrific news (and FIRE ALARMS GOING OFF THROUGH OUT MY ENTIRE BUILDING FOR 4 HOURS STRAIGHT...)- a fashion homage was definitely in order right away...

Born in Hampstead, London in 1932- the violet eyed beauty (voted most the most beautiful woman in the world in the 50s, and the only woman to have graced the cover of Life magazine the most times out of anyone, ever!) She was an infamous for her love affair of diamonds, as she was for her many love affairs...







Cleopatra in 1963- with costumes by Renie' - her debut on the silver screen, the siren was a force to be reckoned with right away with her piercing eyes, and sharp tongue, she made her appearance as one that would forever impact us all...




Doctor Faustaus in 1967



The Bluebird 1976

The man she fought to keep was Richard Burton who her biographer says she would have tried to get him back a third time had he lived.
