Lana Turner, the Sweater Girl

Lana Turner earned the nickname Sweater Girl for the way she wore fitted knit tops. The look paired soft sweaters with structured undergarments for a curved silhouette. It became one of the defining youthful fashions of the era.

The shaping bras worn under these sweaters were nicknamed bullet bras for their pointed, cone-like shape.
