Happy Birthday, Dorothy Dandridge! 10 Times the Icon's Style Was Beyond Fabulous

The marker of a true icon is someone whose influence spans generations far beyond their own. When it comes to Dorothy Dandrdige, we think it's safe to say that she embodies that definition to the fullest. We're still in awe of the glam girl's beauty and style so in honor of what would have been her 83rd birthday, we're taking a look at her most fabulous moments.
