Marlene Dietrich was an actress in Berlin, starting her acting career in the 1920's. She performed in theatres and in silent films but found her fame in 'The Blue Angel' (1930) playing the character Lola-Lola. She her fashion as in the above image appeared quite androgynous as she wears a white suit and tie. She remids me of how Sally tries to be different by having green nails, but Marlene is different by wearing clothes that are quite masculine. She was known for her androgyny and wasn't afraid to stand out in the crowd with her style. In the 1930 film, 'Morocco' Marlene played the leading role of the performer, Mademoiselle Amy Jolly, infamously dressed in drag and kissed another woman. Despite her style of and being known for her androgyny she would also be seen wearing feminine clothes.
