"Catch a Falling Angel"

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 "Catch a Falling Angel," Shelley went through three outfit changes. For her first scene and throughout most of the episode, Shelley wore a white shirt and khaki jeans ensemble. She topped it off with a camel-colored bomber-style jacket with white piping details. She finished her look with a thin brown leather belt and a pair of beige-colored boots. She accessorized her look with a gold necklace. She next wore a dusty-lavender-colored shirt (with purple pinstripes) and an off-white pleated slacks ensemble. She topped it off with a dark-cedar-brown-colored blazer. She finished her look with a dark tan leather belt and beige high-heeled sandals (with ankle straps and peekaboo toes). A thin, loosely tied dark-cedar-brown-colored necktie and an off-white oversized pocket square accessorized her look. For the epilogue, she wore a dark-brown-colored double-breasted ladies skirt suit with a deep-pink-colored shirt. She finished her look with a pair of medium-dark-brown-colored high-heeled sandals (with ankle straps and peekaboo toes). She accessorized her look with gold earrings.
