I'd like to note that Jane Russell does NOT need a bracelet -- that stack is perfect -- and also that man behind them is wearing a hell of a tie.

Also, props to whoever styled them -- very likely the studio -- for getting them in dresses that give you cleavage (or the feeling of cleav) in two dresses that your boobs will definitely NOT fall out of.

Listen -- these are just very, very solid dresses. They've aged VERY well. Marilyn's little wicker bag is also PERFECT.
