Susan is wearing a two-piece evening suit such as she might
have worn to the Premiere of one of her movies.
It consists of a pink and gold brocade, fully lined jacket hand
embroidered in gold thread and pearls around the sweetheart
neckline and also the bodice of the sheath.
The sheath is also fully lined and may be reversed to give the
outfit a different look. At the center of the bodice is a jeweled
pin of pink beads and pearls. She wears gold evening sandals.
