34 of Lauren Bacall’s Most Iconic Style Moments

The young model posed for Harper’s Bazaar during the early 1940s in a striped button-down top and long pleated shorts. It’s said that this magazine photoshoot got her the role in To Have And Have Not.

Bacall was photographed in a floral top with accentuated sleeves and a lacy neckline for a Warner Brothers promotional shoot. The screen star was just 20 years old at the time.

The actress showed off her signature wavy hairstyle with an animal print blouse and an ivory skirt in this portrait.

From casual wear to couture gowns, Bacall had all bases covered. She’s pictured here wearing a striking black dress with a sweetheart neckline and batwing sleeves. The layered pearl necklace provided the perfect touch.

The Hollywood star chose a colorful look for a studio portrait later that year. She wore a keyhole top with sequined details and oversized gold earrings for the session. The fuchsia backdrop offered a nice contrast.

She’s pictured here sitting cross-legged in a green and black bedazzled top and a pair of black slacks. The look was casual but just as sharp as her formal attire.

A year later, the film actress was captured on-screen in a delightful houndstooth print getup with her co-star and first husband Humphrey Bogart. Her black beret and turtleneck gave the outfit a Parisian edge.

That same year, she sported a wool two-piece set created by costume designer Leah Rhodes. The casual look included a chunky turtleneck sweater tucked into pleated dress pants and finished off with wedge sandals.

Bacall smoked a cigarette with Humphrey Bogart while on the set of their 1948 crime film Key Largo. She looked oh-so-stylish in a crisp white button-down with a black overcoat gracefully draped over her shoulders.

How glamorous does Bacall look here in this still shot from the set of Young Man with a Horn? The elegant dress paired with the pearl choker and drop earrings was indeed something else.

For a 1950 photoshoot, Bacall wore a fern green sweater top with a buttoned wrap front styled with tomato red bottoms. The colorful shot was taken beside an in-ground pool.

That same year, the actress posed for another photo in a slinky white dress with a plunging V-neckline, empire waist, and three-quarter-length sleeves. Her deeply parted hair and glossy red lip added another layer of sophistication to the already charming look.

Bacall is pictured here in a more subdued look consisting of a black and white dress featuring a rounded Peter Pan collar and balloon sleeves. She donned her iconic red lip and coiffed hair for the photo.

For the world premiere of her film How to Marry a Millionaire, the screen star stepped out in a slinky floor-length sequin gown matched with a fur stole, white elbow-length gloves, and pointed heels.

She looked striking in a black and white suit set paired with gold hoop earrings.

Bacall wore no shortage of amazing outfits that would still garner praise today. She’s pictured here in Los Angeles wearing a show-stopping gown with voluminous cuffed sleeves, an empire waist skirt, and an exaggerated collar.

Bacall proved you can never go wrong with a lace look when she donned a white macrame blouse paired with a pleated pale blue skirt. She accessorized the look with double pearl earrings.

She’s pictured here in a scene from Written on the Wind in a drapey white dress with a black waist detail and a low neckline. She styled the look with a simple diamond bracelet.

Bacall stole the show in this incredibly glamorous outfit she wore for a scene in Designing Woman. The fitted black dress, the fur stole, the tilted hat—what more could you want in an outfit?
