Rita Hayworth - Fashion Icon

[Vanessa]

Just ran across these pictures in the LIFE images on Google (mentioned here) while browsing for any new-to-me Rita Hayworth photos.

I was familiar with this one, Rita in her wedding dress with Prince Aly Khan.

But then I found these photos of women trying on Macy's version of her wedding dress. Just goes to show how much influence she had on fashion. It's fun to see the same dress on so many different people of the era.
