Wardrobe! Where's My ... Trivia Quiz
Celebrities often become linked to an item of clothing or an accessory, sometimes briefly, sometimes for most of their adult life. Connect each image to the correct celebrity. This selection covers roughly a century of celebrities.
Charlie Chaplin first used the derby or bowler hat when he created the 'Little Tramp' character's outfit for the Keystone comedy "Mabel's Strange Predicament". As it happened, his second 'Little Tramp' film "Kid Auto Races at Venice", although filmed later, was actually released two days earlier on 7 February 1914.
The 'Little Tramp' character quickly became a popular Keystone star, lasting until the silent film character was retired in the 1936 film "Modern Times". This was the only time Chaplin's character used his voice, as part of a gibberish song heard towards the end of the film.
2. Michael Jackson
American singer-songwriter Michael Jackson first performed the moonwalk dance move while singing "Billie Jean" during a 1983 NBC TV special. The performance earned him his first Primetime Emmy Award nomination and the moonwalk became his signature dance move.
As part of his outfit, he was wearing a rhinestone-studded glove on one hand. This is often claimed to be the first time he wore it, although there is evidence that he had worn a glove during performances as early as 1979. Regardless, the white glove became a signature item of clothing after the 1983 performance with many variations worn both on the right or left hands but not simultaneously.
3. Audrey Hepburn
Of the two dresses strongly associated with the American actress Audrey Hepburn, the one shown is the little black Givenchy dress which was used in the 1961 film "Breakfast at Tiffany's". Hepburn asked French designer Givenchy to design the dress, which was done for the opening scene of the film. The lower part of the dress was altered for the film as it showed too much leg. The redesign was done by eight-times Oscar winner American film costume designer Edith Head. The promotional movie poster had some leg added back in to make the poster more eye-catching.
The other signature dress was the Ascot dress Hepburn wore in the 1964 film "My Fair Lady" and for which $3.7 million was paid in 2011.
4. Saul Hudson
British-born musician Saul Hudson was known professionally as Slash and was the lead guitarist of the hard rock band Guns N' Roses. He was invited to join the band in 1985 and was quoted as saying that he shoplifted a black stove pipe hat and silver concho belt before using parts of the belt to produce his signature hat.
The original one was stolen and he bought the replacement. He also had one gifted to him by Lemmy Kilmister, one-time frontman of British rock band Motörhead. Slash said that the hat made him a bit more comfortable when performing on stage.
5. Patrick Moore
The bust in the photo is shown wearing a monocle. British astronomer, author, and radio and TV commentator Patrick Moore was known for his rapid diction and for wearing a monocle. According to his 2005 autobiography, he started wearing a monocle at the age of 16 after learning that his right eye was weaker than his left.
He presented the monthly BBC TV documentary show "The Sky at Night" from the first episode broadcast in 1957 until 2013, his last episode being shown posthumously. He only missed hosting one episode in 55 years, due to illness.
6. Tucker Carlson
Bow-ties have gone up and down in the popularity stakes, being worn by politicians such Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt to comedians such as Jerry Lewis and Pee-wee Herman. Political commentator and talk show host Tucker Carlson was one of the more recent bow-tied celebrities, using them at least since his 1984 preppie days.
He eventually gave up wearing them in 2006, perhaps due to the negative reactions he sometimes experienced. He switched to ties or no neckwear at all.
7. Groucho Marx
American comedian Julius Henry Marx, better known as Groucho Marx, was a cigar smoker. Various quotes have been attributed to him, with the following one being relevant: "I started smoking as soon as I went on the stage. I'd make cigars out of the 'Morning World' when I was a kid. Eventually I smoked Havanas.
A cigar makers' organization once said that I was the most famous cigar smoker in the world. I don't know if that's true, but once while visiting Havana, I went to a cigar factory. There were four hundred people there rolling cigars, and when they saw me, they all stood up and applauded."
8. Harrison Ford
The fedora hat was worn by the character Indiana Jones, the archaeology professor and main protagonist in the franchise of the same name. The character was portrayed by American actor Harrison Ford in all five Paramount Pictures films released between 1981 and 2023.
Indiana Jones was also known for his bull whip and leather jacket. The inspiration for the hat has been claimed as the adventurer character Harry Steele (portrayed by Charlton Heston, complete with leather jacket) in "Secret of the Incas" (1954).
9. Marilyn Monroe
This was the dress that received an upwards blast of air in a scene where Marilyn Monroe's character stood over a subway grating in the 1955 film "The Seven Year Itch". It was a white cocktail dress designed by costume designer William Travilla. The scene has been copied many times such as in the 1984 "Woman in Red" where Kelly Le Brock's imitation was a key moment in the film.
Including commission, $5.6 million was paid for the Monroe-worn dress during a 2011 auction.
10. Carmen Miranda
Nicknamed the 'Brazilian Bombshell', Maria do Carmo Miranda da Cunha was a Portuguese-born Brazilian singer, dancer and actress. Professionally using the name Carmen Miranda, she became known for her flamboyant fruit hats in her American film appearances during the 1930s and 40s.
Her most iconic performance was perhaps when she sang "The Lady in the Tutti Frutti Hat" in the 1943 musical film "The Gang's All Here". There were some exceptionally big bananas involved in that performance.
