The Mayfair Ball of 1936 | What They Wore

Carole Lombard served as hostess for the annual Mayfair Club Ball in January 1936. It took place at the Victor Hugo, a fine dining restaurant in Beverly Hills. The party was one of the most spectacular of the time.
It was a white ball, and all the attendants were supposed to wear white, but Norma Shearer had other plans…
Attendants included Clark Gable, Irene Dunne, Merle Oberon, Joan Blondell, Joan Bennett and Dolores Del Rio, among others.
