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 "Angel's Child," Shelley went through three outfit changes. For her first scene, Shelley wore a maroon turtleneck below-the-knee rib knit sweater dress. A contrasting buckled sash belt finished her look. She next wore an all-white outfit... a white long-sleeved V-neck pullover top over a pair of white pleated slacks. Beige high-heeled sandals (with ankle straps and peekaboo toes) finished her look and a pair of small gold hoop earrings accessorized her look. For the rest of the episode, she wore a white long-sleeved shirt over a pair of gray pleated slacks. she topped them off with a gray blazer in a textured fabric. She finished her look with a pair of beige-colored boots and a white pocket square. A pair of gold earrings, a gold necklace and a gold bracelet accessorized her look.
