Kate Winslet as Rose DeWitt in Titanic (1997)

Scott came up with a gown that crossed class boundaries, the flair of the orange underskirt upstaging the dark dress with subtle paillette ornamental work. Later, the movie would jettison all couture distinctions as the Titanic began its long, slow sinking.
