Doris Day’s Iconic Style: Fashion Photos Over the Years

Doris Day was not only a beloved performer but also a trendsetter and fashionista. The actress-singer was known to exude a timeless elegance with her chic and polished ensembles, some of which included tailored dresses, blouses and button-up coats, as well as gloves and pearl necklaces.

As a talk show host and animal advocate, she carved out her own path in Tinseltown and established herself as a glamour icon. Doris’ sense of style has influenced couture for decades with her own unique flair and sophisticated touch.

“Her on-screen personality — her posture, her makeup, her costumes — was the whole package, and what American women of the late 1950s and early 1960s were trying to emulate,” Christina Johnson, associate curator for the FIDM/Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising museum, said, per the Los Angeles Times.

Doris died at 97 in May 2019 and continues to have generations of admirers.
