London, England – 1969
Streisand poses in a Cecil Beaton-designed dress for the film On a Clear Day You Can See Forever (1970). “It was inspired — and both our ideas, really — to wrap the Streisand features in a glorious white turban,” Beaton stated, “to further accent her strong features. At the same time, she was totally feminine, beguiling, shamelessly sexual. In my designs, her look was soft, almost maternal, but very beautiful, as in a Raphael painting. I tried to stress the lushness of the fabrics, the intricate designs and motifs, in short, the physical if not spiritual splendor of the period we were dealing with. On a less gifted actress and model, on almost any American actress I can think of, this would have been wasted and somewhat ludicrous. Barbra has a less monotonously American-type \[look\] than most actresses of her nationality.” – Cecil Beaton
