The Norma Turban was inspired by the character of Norma Desmond (played by Gloria Swanson) and her fabulous wardrobe in the 1950 dark comedy Sunset Boulevard.

The film is incredible (with costumes designed by Edith Head), but I am absolutely obsessed with the Sunset Boulevard musical currently playing on Broadway, too. It’s a classic!
