Jo Kennedy wearing the pink and purple tutu

1982

    Jackie (played by Jo Kennedy) wears the pink and purple tutu and blue tights at the final performance in Starstruck at the Opera House.

    The costume is made out of a dress belonging to Jackie’s classically stylish mother Pearl (Margo Lee). Pearl giving the dress to Jackie is symbolic of her love and greater acceptance of her daughter by the end of the film.

    Gillian Armstrong’s effervescent rock musical comedy Starstruck features outrageous costumes designed by Terry Ryan and Luciana Arrighi and influenced by the kitsch aesthetic of early 1980s music videos.
