1950s womens dress, movie star photos     Boomers Fifties Teen Magazine © Boomers Pinups

Below you will see some era photos of 1950s womens dress fashions worn by Hollywood actresses - wearing formal and casual 1950s dresswear. Popular materials are cotton, silk, and wools. Man made materials of nylon, rayons, and blends are introduced in the 1950's. For shopping and meetings the hollywood actress wears a printed dress on white background with fitted bodice and full skirt; for Hollywood social occasions she dresses formal. Girls casual dress wear is typically the pencil skirt or the full skirt, sweater set and peter pan collar. Her leisure dresswear could be a man's shirt with jeans rolled up (dungarees), capris or pedal pushers. Hollywood swimsuits are mostly one piece, strapless or halter and made of the new stretch fabric. The photos on this page, along with style, will show you dresswear colors and patterns that are worn in the 1950s. Also below are examples of 1950s hair, accessories, shoes, and makeup shown in the following photos of Hollywood movie actresses. Photos are from the saved era scrapbook of this 1950s teen.
