The charming headdress worn by Vivien Leigh was designed by Oliver Messel for Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Old Vic in 1937. Titania was played in this production by Vivien Leigh who, crowned with ‘stars’ and with the gauze ribbons falling down her back, looked the epitome of an imperious Victorian fairy queen. A. E. Wilson reported that she was ‘like an exquisite picture from some Victorian lady’s keepsake’. Messel, was a good friend of Leigh and kept this headdress as a prized possession, storing it in a box.
I was going to explain this photo, and then I decided that a caption competition would be more fun.
