Hedy Lamarr as Irene in The Conspirators

1944. Hedy Lamarr wears this costume in The Conspirators. With its exaggerated shoulder pads and metallic sheen, it could have served as the inspiration for Claude Montana’s creations of the late 1970s and early ’80s. Lauren Bacall will wear a jacket along similar lines in The Big Sleep.
