The Madness of King George

Posted Jun 24, 2007 at 16:15 CEST in Fashion, Movies and television, People, and Photos.

The Madness of King George is a good movie, but fashion wise it’s not extremely interesting. There are only a few scenes with lavish court dress, and the rest is pretty much the king in his underwear. It’s still worth seeing for those few bits of court fashion though, lots of big hair! And Lady Pembroke is really gorgeous.

A few more pictures after the cut.
