Retro Fashion with Timeless Glamour
Now playing: body-conscious clothes that are sensual but never over-the-top. Actress Viola Davis channels Marilyn Monroe.
Bathing Beauty
Who needs a bikini? This halter-neck swimsuit (OMO Norma Kamali, $350) is cut just right, proving that a one-piece can be as seductive as acres of bare skin. It's definitely a descendant of the shirred maillots Marilyn wore in the '50s, often with a velour robe (Alberta Ferretti, $560)—as luxurious as a cover-up gets. Vintage-looking scarlet sunglasses (Karl Lagerfeld Eyewear) complete the picture.
