Embodying the essence of the roaring 20s hot curled hairdo, Drew Barrymore electrified the crowd at the premier of her HBO movie Grey Gardens.


Miss Barrymore looked absolutely stunning in a full length Alberta Ferretti beaded see through flapper dress with shoes by Roger Vivier.


Her makeup was simply fab with light pale skin tones, very dark plum lipstick and capped with 20s hot iron wavy blonde flapper hairdo.


Her white veiled headpiece set the tone for the vintage period, with only a glimpse of a golden tongue piercing riveting us back into the present.

Continuing her retro, vintage glamour fashion look, Drew Barrymore wore a very stunning gown for her interview on the state side David Letterman show.


For the Letterman show, Barrymore wore a black Giambattista Valli dress with large black puff sleeves with high heel two tone shoes from Giuseppe Zanotti and jewelry from Lorraine Schwartz.


Barrymore was promoting her HBO movie, Grey Gardens which was based on the life of Edith Bouvier Beale, cousin to Jackie Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, known simply as Little Edie.


Little Edie had her own flare for fashion and would create outlandish yet haunting costumes from her closet.

She would layer many different types of clothing to produce her own couture creations, which have inspired top fashion designers from Calvin Klein to Marc Jacobs.


Little Edie would not only wear stocking on her legs but also cover her head with stockings, combining many different garments to create a totally unique new look.


In the original 1975 documentary documentry Grey Garderns producted by Albert and David Maysles, Little Edie advised it's best to wear pantyhose under a short skirt because you can always take off the skirt and use it as a cape.

A glimpse into Little Edie flare for fashion can be seen in clips from the original documentary on Little Edie.


Take a look at the real life Little Edie from Grey Gardens in this short video version or the long video version from the original documentary The Beales of Grey Gardens.






After about a minute of interviewing, viewers are treated to a photo video montage of Little Edie eccentric outfits, that make her a cult fashion designer icon.


The movie, Grey Gardens starring Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange will premier on HBO on Saturday April 18, 2009 at 8 pm in the states.
