January: Red Redux
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (s1 e2, "Ya Shivu v Bolshom Dome Na Kholme") / Rachel Brosnahan as Miriam "Midge" Maisel
Mrs. Maisel wears several nice red dresses over the course of the series, but for the fandom, this is "the" red dress. Maybe even "the" dress, period. It's a classic 1950s shape with matching belt and petticoats to help it flare out, but the notch in the neckline makes it just a tad daring.
Midge accessorizes with some lighter red pumps and discreet gold jewelry: bracelet, earrings, and a gold-and-pearl pendant on a delicate chain (see below).

June: Weddings
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel / Rachel Brosnahan as Miriam "Midge" Maisel and Michael Zegen as Joel Maisel
Midge's wedding is set in 1954, and her dress is both typical of the period and a classic. We only get a brief view of the whole thing from a distance, but the skirt is "ballet length" (mid-calf), and for the 1950s, the petticoats are positively restrained. The yoke and sleeves are made of delicate lace. The bow at the top of the veil is a slightly whimsical touch.
Joel, meanwhile, wears a classic white tie ensemble. Interestingly, he seems to be the only one in white tie--the male guests are all wearing black tie.
Screenshots are from s1e1 ("Pilot") and s1e8 ("Thank You and Good Night").
