She looked great in basic black, whether as the existential rag doll of Fred Astaire or the bride of Christ in The Nun's Story. Indeed, in her transformation movies - Sabrina and Funny Face and My Fair Lady - she always looked more gorgeous in Phase One (mousy) than Phase Two (elegant), more ravishing with her hair down than up, with her dress casual than...
