Dancer Cyd Charisse - Fashion & Costumes

wilma — Fri, 15 May 2020 15:32:32 GMT

My favorite female dancer is Cyd Charisse. Her ability to do all kinds of dance from ballet to jazz was showcased in “The Band Wagon”. The movie is most famous for the song “That’s Entertainment”, but the entire movie and cast are great!

Here’s a few photos of Cyd from the movie.

She was gorgeous. Her legs went on forever. Her biggest problem was that her male partners were too short to dance with her, although they tried. Still, she left an indelible mark on American movie musicals.

@wilma, Thank you for your contributions here. I did not fully recognize the many talents of this lady. What you bring to us is something we can all relate to and have interest in. I do appreciate that. I will be scanning my Turner movie channel to see this talented beauty in action.

Cyd Charisse and Fred Astaire were just poetry in motion when they danced together.

What a talent. Loved her in "Brigadoon" with Gene Kelly and Van Johnson.

Wilma7500...thank you for posting this. I love Cyd Charisse too. So gorgeous and talented. My all-time favorite dance routine is the Dancing In The Dark number, from The Bandwagon. The music and the choreography never fails to enchant me. How I would love to dance like that!

I like the white wrap shirt dress! Very pretty. I would definitely wear something like that now

I keep seeing promos for the Betty Broderick mini series and it looks like the clothing is going to be fun. It's circa 80s

I think Cyd Charisse was grace itself.

@Andreatoo

Totally agree with you. That white dress is very pretty and timeless.

Love the white dress . It's timeless.

@Andreatoo When is the Betty Broderick mini-series scheduled to air? I Would love to see it, but it'll have to be pretty darn good to top the version from the early 1990s starring Meredith Baxter. Not embarrassed to admit I've watched Baxter's far too many times.

I always thought Cyd Charisse was absolute perfection. Everything about her. The way she moved, the way she looked, and the way she carried herself. I also love the name Cyd.

With a little tweaking I think all of her fashions here would work today. The first black dress, if the skirt was taken in a little to not reflect the 50's style, would be so perfect to wear today.

I always remember her dance scene with Gene Kelly in 'Singing in the Rain'.

Joey Heatherton was another dancer I remember growing up. She was on Dean Martin's show a lot. But she's a much different type. Cyd seemed like she could dance anything.

Looks like the first week of June. I love Amanda Peet, she's a terrific actor,and I can't wait to see it!

Christian Slater commented on one of the promos about the clothing design and how great it was
