In her beautiful book "Glamour Dogs," photographer Catherine Ledner captures the diva style of purebred dogs and mutts alike, each posing, Hollywood style, on vintage furniture or before ornate wallpaper. In fact, we had some fun matching up these photos with their Big Screen counterparts.See if you agree!
Petunia, a Boston terrier, makes a fetching Bette Davis. The wallpaper is "Anichov" in persimmon by Designers Guild.
Buddy, a Shiba Inu, has a bit of Gene Kelly flair. But can he dance? The wallpaper is "Traviata" in blue by Graham & Brown.
Django, a cavalier King Charles spaniel, could be Charlie Chaplin. The wallpaper is "Manchu" by Zoffany.
Rocco, a Chihuahua, displays dashing Fred Astaire poise.
Stella, a pug, works a classic Betty Grable cheesecake pose. The wallpaper is "Malachite" by Cole & Son.
Pikachu, a greyhound, has the elan of Errol Flynn. The wallpaper is "Minaret" by Osborne & Little.
Lucie, a wire fox terrier, couldn't be anyone but Lucille Ball.
Ella, a collie, has the elegance of a young Elizabeth Taylor. And wasn't she in a Lassie movie?
Mixed breed Kori is working another side of La Liz with this look from "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
Bruno, a dogue de Bordeaux, has that winsome Spencer Tracy charm. The wallpaper is "Woods" in terracotta by Cole & Son.
Pascal, a standard poodle, bears a striking resemblance to big-screen lothario Charles Boyer.
Glamour Dogs -- An enchanting Afghan, a captivating Chihuahua, a pretentious poodle, a magnificent mastiff and a charming French bulldog -- these are just a few of this season's gorgeous glamour dogs. Catherine Ledner brilliantly captures these doggie doyenes in all their glamorous glory as they strut their stuff on the catwalk, recline on sumptuous furniture, and pose on the latest of floor and wall fashions, and proves that, in the words of Bill Blass, "style is a matter of instinct."
Catherine Ledner has had a lifelong love of animals. Her work has appeared in numerous publications including "Travel + Leisure," "Dwell," and the "New York Times Magazine."
