The fantastic Forties fashion of La Vie En Rose sings almost as well as Edith Piaf herself. The high drama of crimson lipstick and black lace conveys a smoldering je ne sais quoi, a mystery, foggy as the story itself, told through flashbacks of Piaf's memories.

Channel the glamourous chanteuse in this lined black lace frock, $178 from Kiyonna, or this beautiful shift by Adrianna Papell available at Dillard's for $93.80. Both would be tres chic with tight curls or a low chignon, pale skin with neutral eyes, kohl eyeliner and a bold lip. A pair of black or red kitten heels or slingbacks and a strand of pearls finish the look.
