The star’s impressive wardrobe, donated to the museum by her brother Orlando, ranges from 1950s New Look dresses by Jacques Esterel to a Balmain’s seventies pinafore dress; chic and understated Loris Azarro gowns, dazzling sequined disco outfits by Michel Fresnay in the 1980s and classical and timeless Yves Saint Laurent rive gauche.
