Photoplay, January 1938

 

Irene Dunne choses this three-piece ensemble to wear at the Santa Anita race track. The slim skirt and topcoat are of henna woolen and the tailored jacket is a tweedy mixture of beige and henna. Irene complements this suit with a tailored blouse of ivory crepe, brown suède gloves, bag and low-heeled walking shoes, and a henna toque with a gay quill 

Though Irene is on the cover, there isn't an article on her in the magazine, only two full-page fashion shots. This is sort of typical showing how the press handled "difficult to corner" Miss Dunne in that period.
