Fabulend Knitting Yarn, 1975

Shelley appeared on many leaflets, booklets and brochures for various fashion companies during her tenure as Supermodel in the 1970s. One of them was for Red Heart Fabulend Knitting Worsted Type Yarn. Red Heart has been a popular and widely available yarn brand for almost a century. A fave of knitting and crochet enthusiasts, the brand has been popular for its affordability, color range and quality. In 1975, Shelley appeared on a Red Heart Fabulend Knitting Worsted Type Yarn leaflet/pattern cover. Dubbed "Easy Does It Free Leaflet W.1040," the leaflet contained a jacket pattern that could be created with worsted type yarn, as modeled by Shelley on the cover. She wore a quadruple colored Zippered Jacket that had long sleeves, slightly-puffed shoulders, and a fitted bodice over a pair of beige-colored trousers. A matching necklace and bracelet accessorized her look. And Shelley looked Fabulend fabulous.

by Stephen Burrows, 1975

Shelley was one of the Supermodels of the 1970s. Like her contemporaries, she was photographed wearing various fashion options for women, from affordable to designer brands. In 1975, she was photographed by renowned fashion photographer William Connors for Harper's Bazaar magazine wearing an outfit by American fashion designer Stephen Burrows. He is known for using bright colors and for inventing the "lettuce hem" (a decorative, wavy, ruffled edge on a fabric). He was one of the American designers to wow Paris and the world in The Battle of Versailles Fashion Show in 1973 (along with Oscar de la Renta, Halston, Bill Blass, and Anne Klein). In the spread, Shelley wore a fabulous dress that was "as easy to wear as a sweater" by Stephen Burrows. It was a long, slim and simple velour dress in graphite-gray with undertones of violet and blue that had a collar that could be worn either as a turtleneck or hood. To accessorize her look, Shelley wore Helen Bransford earrings in her hair, a Barry Kieselstein necklace, and an M & J Savitt bangle and ring. And Shelley looked long, slim, simple, and absolutely fabulous, every inch a modern Supermodel.

In March of 1993, Shelley was spotted at the 45th Annual Directors Guild of America Awards, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. She was with her husband director Harry Winer. And she looked every bit the star she was. Her fabulous little black dress was velvet, above-the-knee in length and had gold details around the hem. Over it, she wore a black velvet evening coat generously trimmed with gold Verasace-esque details around the edges, cuffs and collar. Her gold filigree earrings were similar in design and fit her outfit to a T. She finished her look with a matching bag and a pair of medium-heeled (as she always prefers) pumps. She was a such a standout at the event that she was featured in the "What People Are Wearing" section of the celebrity tabloid The Star, as the week's "Blast From The Past." For her chic and dazzling look, she was given the week's best-dressed honors.

In the spread, Shelley wore The Silk Chemise in Cyclamen Pink by  Albert Capraro. It was a long and easy Cyclamen dress with a drawstring neck and bell-shaped sleeves. She accessorized her look with jewels by David Webb and a bag by Judith Leiber.

Tabloid Rumors

Shelley in a paparazzi pic, 1979

Shelley became a household name in 1979 when she joined the cast of Charlie's Angels. She went through all the things all the Angels before her went through, superstardom and constant media attention. "I was totally unprepared for the press "bonanza" that followed," Shelley disclosed in 2000. The very private star was under constant scrutiny by the press, viewers and critics alike. Her looks, her background, her lifestyle, and even her boyfriends were under scrutiny.

a tabloid writeup about Shelley

and writer/director Nicholas Meyer, 1979

After getting the part of Tiffany Welles in Charlie's Angels, the tabloids reported that Shelley dumped her then boyfriend writer/director Nicholas Meyer. "I feel badly when I read things about myself that aren't true - like the fact that I just broke up with my long-time boyfriend writer-director Nicholas Meyer," Shelley told Screen Stories magazine in 1979, "That bothered me terribly. We're still very much together, and people print lies." The rumors started when Shelley wasn't cast as the lead in Meyer's thriller Time After Time. "That story upset me a great deal because the truth is I was the one who didn't want to do the movie," Shelley told People magazine in 1979. "After all, our relationship just started - what if we broke up in two months? He would have to be stuck directing me," Shelley explained.

"I was totally unprepared for the press "bonanza" that followed," Shelley disclosed in 2000. The very private star was under constant scrutiny by the press, viewers and critics alike. Her looks, her background, her lifestyle, and even her boyfriends were under scrutiny. In the early 1980s, after leaving Charlie's Angels, the tabloids reported that Shelley was dating filmmaker/photographer Stephen Verona, who was best known for writing, producing and directing the 1974 film The Lords of Flatbush (which starred Sylvester Stallone and Henry Winkler). Earlier, in 1972, Verona was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film for the short film The Rehearsal. "She got a bad rap on Charlie's Angels, said Verona of Shelley. "She's extremely bright, extremely educated, and a fairly talented lady," he added.
