Clara Bow in THE WILD PARTY (1929)

This is an iconic portrait taken by the famous photographer Peter Bash in 1954. The actress is represented here in an image that has become the standard of the style of the "Golden Age of Hollywood": She wears a luxurious white mink fur coat and massive crystal chandelier earrings that emphasize her sophistication and classic beauty.
