In her next film, "For Me and My Gal" (1942), Garland performed with Gene Kelly in his first screen appearance. She was given the "glamor treatment" in "Presenting Lily Mars" (1943), in which she was dressed in "grown-up" gowns. Her lightened hair was also pulled up in a stylish fashion. However, no matter how glamorous or beautiful she appeared on screen or in photographs, she was never confident in her appearance and never escaped the "girl-next-door" image that the studio had created for her.
