Through the Ages: Beauties on Bikes

Father Knows Best

actress Jane Wyatt, seen here in the early 1940s, rode her bike in an outfit that could easily have been from today: A cropped shirt, culottes, and practical wedges.

On the set of her film Sabrina in 1954, Hepburn wheeled around in a printed A-line dress worn over a black long-sleeved tee and paired with ballet flats.

A young Taylor went for a slightly masculine look while cycling in the mid 1940s, pairing a plaid shirt with a pair of trousers and some lace-up oxfords.

While biking to the soundstage of one of her Paramount pictures in 1954, Kelly looked like the picture of ladylike perfection in a belted coat dress with a full skirt, hat with a veil, and heels.

The first lady wore white trousers, a black turtleneck sweater, white sneakers, and her signature oversized sunglasses for a ride through Central Park in New York City in 1970.

Gardner looked fresh and ready for summer in a pair of tailored shorts, a white button down short sleeve top, and sandals in the early 1940s.

For a ride with her husband Arthur Miller in 1956, Monroe donned a pair of dark pants, a striped marinière shirt, and a thick knit sweater.

The dynamic duo wore timeless matching outfits for a stroll – Bogart in ‘40s-era trousers and Bacall in an oversized midi skirt. A crisp white shirt served as the team’s winning factor.
