It’s soon turned upside down, a puff of red smoke and the Wicked Witch of the West appears, doing everything she can to stop Dorothy returning home. From Balenciaga to Giambattista Valli, the black and white polka dot was celebrated on the spring-summer 2021 catwalks.“Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.” Dorothy says this line excitedly – it’s thrilling to leave the drab sepia world of 1930s America for the glorious Technicolor of Oz. Like Lula's dress in David Lynch's film, black and white remains the most popular and classic option. Very trendy in the 1950s, the polka dot print keeps on reinventing itself. While stripes are masculine and stiff, the roundness of the polka dot captures the essence of femininity and softness. Since the popularization of the pattern in the early twentieth century, the polka dot has gained symbolic significance. Polka dots have been seen on many female movie characters to give just the right amount of sassy elegance: icons from Marilyn Monroe in The Seven Year Itch, to Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, and even Minnie Mouse's classic look. To support the heroine's evolution towards maturity, Amy Stofsky relied on a neutral color palette and a sophisticated pattern. Her hair is voluminous, but neat and less wild than when she was running around the country with Sailor. True to her character's flamboyant personality, Laura Dern is sporting a pair of flashy hoop earrings, scarlet lipstick and red pumps. However, the David Lynch style fairy tale ends well because moments later, Nicolas Cage comes running over the roofs of cars with the sunset behind him, to find her while singing Love Me Tender by Elvis Presley. She bursts into tears watching him moving away from her, unable to stop him. However, he leaves her because he doesn't want to cause any more problems.

New mother Lula Fortune awaits the return of her lover after his release from prison. It is sensual with its plunging neckline and its bare back, without being vulgar. For the famous polka dot dress that the actress wore in the final scenes of the film, it is seen as the outfit of maturity.
