And here’s Julie mixing her costumes together like a boss; please note the basket weave top with the tennis outfit striped jacket.
Kind of like what I would have looked like, flailing, I mean, I WISH I would look as glamorous in 20’s silhouettes instead of looking like a giant rectangle.
If anyone ever wanted to make this dress from ‘Star!’ like me, here is mentally how I think it was made…though I am no draper by any means but I loved breaking down costumes like this…

Modern day ‘Burlington Bertie from Bow’
A photo of Noel and Gertrude on the set for Tonight at 8:30 that was replicated in Star! I had never seen a shot of it! Awesome!
That awkward moment when in the middle of a party, a sherbert glass is shattered from a financial fit. Check the lady’s face on the right. Love it!
A costume for the character Billie Carleton from ‘Star!’ this costume is literally only onscreen for maybe 10 seconds AND in grainey old newsreel looking footage no less, can anyone say GORGEOUS pintuck detailing? God I love you Donald Brooks, don’t even get me started about Julie’s costumes.
Outside the Lyceum Theatre in New York City. I came across this when I wasn’t even really looking for locations when I was on a trip to NYC with my family. I was like…12 and thought finding a ‘Star!’ location was the greatest thing ever.
This is also a gorgeous historical place where they filmed, known as the Raymond Moore house, Raymond Moore being the founder and owner of the Cape Cod Playhouse, this is where the real Richard and Gertrude married on July 4th at midnight. They filmed the final ‘wedding’ scene from the film outside in the gardens.
