I noticed that too! I thought it was pretty funny. It was a nice skirt--but not very pretty trousers!

The song is actually called "All Of You". Her skirt was changed to culottes for that last shot when she and Fred slide under the bar facing full front when their kicks would've revealed a little too much of Cyd's underthings. It's an exact replica of the skirt and I watched this movie quite a few times before I noticed the change. Nicely done on the costume designer's and editor's part.

No, I noticed that too. By the way, why is Elizabeth Taylor on the credits if she doesn't appears on That Entertainment - Part II?!

She does appear. She's in a clip during a montage set to "That's Entertainment".
