All the greens in a mid #1860s gown from a glowing teal to almost neon apple green trim. If this dress was ever worn in a contemporary photograph, we would never have known from the image just how bright a gown it was @NGVMelbourne #fashionhistory

Anne of Cleves looked deceptively attractive in this portrait in 1539. At least, it fooled Henry VIII into agreeing to marry her. Not for long! By Hans Holbein, whose day is today.

Little side-eye there from Elizabeth, Lady Vaux, in 1536. Get the feeling that Hans Holbein enjoyed drawing her. It's his day today.

Btw the style of Lestat’s corset is called fan lacing, and its both pretty but also done so someone can put on the corset and tighten it easily via the tab points that the laces converge at on the sides
