1979 was a new era for the hit TV series Charlie's Angels. Supermodel Shelley Hack joined Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd to form Charlie's glamorous new Angel team. Nolan Miller, the wardrobe designer of the series, said, "I begged Aaron to hire Shelley. There was something about her I really liked; I was impressed with her Charlie perfume commercials and how she could create a look just by turning her collar up and putting her hands in her pockets." The wardrobe budget was increased to $20,000 per episode; and, according to People magazine, each Angel was to go through eight costume changes per episode (but it was more like three to five, with Farrah making the most - at eight changes - in "Fallen Angel"). For the episode "Dancin' Angels," Shelley went through just two outfit changes. For her first scene, she wore a blouse and skirt ensemble made up of a loose casual red blouse (with black details down the front and at the end of the 3/4 long sleeves) and a black pencil skirt (with red details at the hem). A pair of red high-heeled sandals finished her look. Gold earrings and a gold necklace accessorized her look. For the rest of the episode, she wore a stunning gold satin evening gown. It had an empire seam hater top, a mermaid skirt and was backless. Straps held the halter top up, went around the neck and crisscrossed at the back. She finished her look with a pair of gold high-heeled evening sandals and a gold evening clutch. She accessorized her look with gold earrings, a gold bracelet with clear gemstones, a gold pinky ring and a gold and silver butterfly brooch pinned to the neckline of her gown. She wore a gray fur stole with her gown early in the episode.
