Best Dressed: Mary Tyler Moore
29 December 2006
Mary Tyler Moore might not be who comes to mind when you think of the best dressed women of all time. Sure, her apartment forever made it cool to hang a single letter on the wall. The “Mary Tyler Moore Show” forever changed ideas of women holding a man’s job, but fashion? However, she was one of the first women to wear pants on TV. I always think of capri pants when I think of Mary Tyler Moore. I also think that she was one of the few people who can actually wear capri pants & look good. Other Mary classics: dark lipstick, & a peacoat. Anytime I visit a big city I throw a hat up in the air. I don’t even wear hats, but I bring one just for classic “Mary Tyler Moore” show re-creation. I should say something cheesy about “she can turn the world on with her smile”, but I’ll refrain. She helped define women through the critical black & white to color tv transition. So many things changed during that time & Mary Tyler Moore did it with style & grace.
