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 "One Love... Two Angels Part 1," Shelley went through three outfit changes. For her first scene, she wore an all-black ensemble. She wore a black pullover sweater (in glitter velvet) tucked into a pair of black slacks. She finished her look with a pair of black open-toe sandals with ankle straps. She next wore a maroon shirt (in velvet) and stood behind the bar at the Townsend Agency office. She finished her look with a pair of gold earrings. She next wore a suit jacket and pants ensemble. She wore a camel-colored suit jacket over a pair of maroon slacks. A multi-colored woven belt (striped in maroon, dusty blue and cream) tied over and around her jacket waist and a pair of strappy maroon-colored sandals finished her look. A gold bracelet and a gold necklace accessorized her look.
