In the February 2014 issue of CBS’s Watch! Magazine, Mayim Bialik (‘The Big Bang Theory’, ‘Blossom’) is looking vraiment magnifique in these vintage designs from Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy and Dior. There were certain restrictions, but the results are wonderful.

Update (10/21/13): I found this intro and it is a one-off – much more cinematic!
