Capturing the Essence of Billie Holiday - Diana Ross in Lady Sings the Blues, 1972
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a mesmerizing costume worn by the legendary Diana Ross as she portrayed jazz icon Billie Holiday in the critically acclaimed film "Lady Sings the Blues". The ensemble, meticulously designed by Bob Mackie and Gorgen Ray Aghayan, transports us back to the vibrant era of 1970s African American culture. Diana Ross effortlessly embodies Billie Holiday's spirit with her fur-trimmed jacket and elegant evening dress. The teal dress exudes sophistication while highlighting Ross's grace and poise. Complementing this ensemble is a light green vest that adds a touch of uniqueness to her character's style. Although not shown in this particular photograph, it is worth mentioning that an equally charming light green hat completes this iconic look. The craftsmanship behind these garments reflects both cultural heritage and artistic excellence. Made from high-quality materials such as wool twill, synthetic fiber, silk satin, and luxurious fur trimmings, every detail has been carefully considered to transport viewers into another time. Displayed at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this remarkable piece serves as a testament to Diana Ross's portrayal of one of music history's most influential figures. It also pays homage to the immense talent and impact of Billie Holiday herself. As we gaze upon this print capturing an unforgettable moment in cinema history, we are reminded not only of Diana Ross's incredible performance but also how art can transcend time and bring stories like Billie Holiday’s to life for generations to come.
