Throwback Thursday: King Kong’s 2005 Times Square Premiere

December 10, 2015 by WendyB

Ten years and five days ago, MrB and I attended the big Times Square premiere of the latest King Kong remake. That’s the one that starred Jack Black, Naomi Watts and Adrien Brody.

The invitation called for festive attire, so I chose a vintage Ossie Clark dress with a Celia Birtwell print.

I still have this, of course.

In my first post about Ossie Clark, from 2007, I used one of the photos from the series I took after the King Kong premiere, but I thought it had been taken in 2006.  I was confused because I wore the same dress-and-necklace combo to a Marc Jacobs runway show in February of that year, where New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham took my picture.

When you wear the same clothes repeatedly, it’s easy to get your dates mixed up!
