Who dat kissing her on the bottom?  At the bottom, at the bottom, not on the bottom.  Love the one from the TV Hall of Fame dinner, although the dress looks different there.  Did she have to get a rabies shot after jerry lewis bit her?

Even though this is a staged photo for a magazine there is something still so real about it. Unlike today when you have a stylist show up to a shoot with a ton of fabulous designer stuff, it wasn't like that back then. You know Lucy picked out that frilly thing herself and probably wore it a ton of times.

So Lucy is apparently the one on the right but she looks so different.

Not sure where you saw that the lady on the right was LB, but it is not. It is actress Elizabeth Allen who came as Dietrich from the film, "Morocco."

 

Here is a little history of this famous party shot.

 

In 1935, the Countess Dorothy DiFrasso threw a COME AS SOMEONE YOU’D LIKE TO BE costume party, and Marlene Dietrich decided upon the Greek myth of Leda and the Swan. She called upon the services of Paramount costume designer Travis Banton who spent as much time and care on her costume as for any film project, even picking the blue embroidered eyes of the bird out and redoing them in green when Dietrich objected to wearing a swan whose eyes matched her own. Here she is, acompanied by pals Clifton Webb (as Fu Manchu) and Elizabeth Allen, who came as Dietrich, herself.
