Initially, it was all about celebrating the female shape dresses were made in a way that they emphasized breasts and hips and showing off the hourglass figure. The late fifties brought the longer evening gowns which were made from luxurious materials and had embellishments. Women like Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe personified style in this era and Monroe’s long white dress and heels that she used to pose over vent have epitomized style whereas Hepburn’s naïve look with the full skirted white gown and evening gloves Roman Holiday too won hearts.
