MOST WANTED: Red beaded with rhinestone trim Elizabeth Taylor gown

Nolan made this gown for Elizabeth Taylor's appearance on the television show "Hotel."  This design is very similar to a black beaded gown Joan Collins wore on "Dynasty" around the same time period.  Elizabeth's gown came with a matching red beaded wrap trimmed in brown mink.  It is a gorgeous gown, but this is not one of my top favorites of Nolan's creations for her.  I also don't think this bright red color suits Elizabeth's complexion as well as some of the other colors she wore.  I think this gown looks like something more for Joan on "Dynasty." Regardless, I still think it is a great and desirable piece.

WANTED: If anyone has this gown, or any information on its whereabouts, please let me know!

MOST WANTED: Purple satin bows bustier Elizabeth Taylor gown

This is one of my all time favorite gowns that Nolan did for Elizabeth, and thus one of my all time favorite gowns created by Nolan.  This gown really symbolizes the union of Nolan Miller's design for his muse Elizabeth Taylor.  The cut of the gown is the same custom design Nolan created for Elizabeth, in rich satin fabric, and in her signature color-- purple.  Elizabeth wore this gown for her Passion perfume campaign and also wore it to several events.  Faux violets were added to the shoulders of the gown later on.  Per usual, I prefer this gown without the later alteration and addition of the flowers.  Why tamper with perfection?  The sketches for this gown are absolutely stunning as well.  There are at least two different sketches for this gown.  The only real difference is one sketch appears to be more detailed and a bit more dramatic.

MOST WANTED: Purple embroidered bustier Elizabeth Taylor gown

This is one of my top three favorite Elizabeth Taylor gowns, and thus one of my very top favorite Nolan Miller gowns in general.  Nolan designed this gown for Elizabeth for her to wear in her Passion Perfume advertisements.  She also wore this gown to the official launch party for the perfume.  I love this gown.  I find it to be very iconic as it is an Elizabeth Taylor in her signature color of purple.  The embroidered designs and jewels on the chest add interest and embellishment.  I also really love the cut of the gown, which Nolan did for Elizabeth in many different colors.  This cut looked phenomenal on her, accentuating her figure to the fullest.

WANTED: If anyone has this gown, or any information on its whereabouts, please let me know!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



MOST WANTED: Red velvet bows Elizabeth Taylor gown

This gown was made for Elizabeth Taylor by Nolan, and was worn on the cover of the December 1985 issue of Vanity Fair, as well as for the photo shoot that was used for the pictorial.  I am not sure if Elizabeth ever wore this gown to any functions or in other photo shoots.  I like the red velvet material, it's simplicity in the basic regal cut but accentuated with the bows at the shoulders.  Nolan Miller had a great talent for designing gowns for Elizabeth that made her look glamorous, sexy, and elegant over age 50.  Obviously Elizabeth had a lot to do with the success of the designs, as she was a gorgeous woman, but I think it takes talent to combine all of those attributes into one gown for a woman of that age.

MOST WANTED: Red taffeta floral bustier Elizabeth Taylor gown

Elizabeth Taylor had several gowns made by Nolan in this bustier, puffed shoulders, mid-length sleeve design.  Nolan even stated in interviews that he really liked this cut on her.  Elizabeth wore this gown to the 1987 Cannes Film Festival.  I think it is extremely vibrant, interesting, dramatic, and makes her figure look amazing.  I would love to own this gown, and I bet the sketch is gorgeous too (never seen the sketch thus far).
