Vivien Leigh Scarlett O’Hara Burgundy Red Velvet Off The Shoulder Ball Gown in Movie Gone With the Wind Costume

Step into the timeless elegance of Southern Belle glamour with this Vivien Leigh Scarlett O’Hara burgundy red velvet off the shoulder ball gown, immortalized in the classic 1939 film Gone With the Wind. Meticulously crafted from sumptuous deep-red velvet, the gown features a dramatic off-the-shoulder neckline adorned with delicate feathered tulle accents that frame the décolletage and shoulders. The fitted bodice is embellished with hand-sewn beading and sequins, adding a subtle shimmer that catches the light with every turn.

The waist is cinched with expert tailoring before cascading into a full, floor-grazing skirt characteristic of the ball gown silhouette. Layers of tulle under the velvet overlay provide volume and movement reminiscent of 19th-century Southern haute couture. Perfect for period-themed galas, vintage-inspired weddings, or high-profile costume events, this celebrity-inspired evening dress pairs beautifully with long opera gloves, a simple choker necklace, and classic satin pumps. Complete the look with a polished updo, soft finger waves, and a bold burgundy lip to capture Scarlett’s indomitable spirit and timeless sophistication. Whether you’re walking down a grand staircase or making an entrance on a modern red carpet, this gown ensures you’ll command attention with Southern charm and historic allure.
