About The Shoulders

Or "shoulder robing," as it's referred to in recent publications. As you can see, the look has become quite popular among among the "fashionable set." Both Olivia Palermo and Victoria Beckham are true perfection. I also like Kylie Jenner's look....very chic!

But don’t be fooled into thinking that this shoulder robing malark is anything new; oh no, no no, no. Here is Dynasty-era Joan Collins working it (with a whole lotta leather) at Heathrow airport in 1987.


But one of the earliest purveyors of the trend was undoubtedly Marilyn Monroe. Pictured on the set of Niagara in 1953, the original blonde bombshell wears a typically early 50s silhouette in a wrap-around mid-length skirt, chemise and shoulder-robed swing jacket. Ba-yooo-tiful!

  1. I like the new style and in fact I am thrilled to see that so many of our celebs are flaunting off this style. Amused to see that it was followed in olden times as well.
