My love for Grey Gardens and Little Edie Beale is not a new affair. From obscurity to Broadway to its cannibalization starring Drew Barrymore, I will forever be enamored with one of the most stylish women to ever exist. Little Edie Beale is terribly fabulous. This evening I watched previously unseen footage shot by the Maysles of the Beale duo and was thrown even further into Edie’s world. I own Grey Gardens on film – the version before it went out of print – and I cannot believe it took me this long to watch The Beales of Grey Gardens. Naturally I compiled some pieces that would help anyone slip into the style of Little Edie. These should assist you in deciding what your best costume of the day is.
