Someone messed with the color here without realizing they were changing one of her most iconic on-screen fashion moments. Although her lips were her signature red, this dress wasn’t. Not even a little bit. It’s pink. Hot pink. Anyone who knows this film (Niagara 1953) knows that this dress has been called the hottest hot pink dress to ever grace the silver screen. Her dress in this scene was second only to the white one she later wore over the subway grate in ‘The Seven Year Itch’ (1955).
