Mistinguett
1925
Meet the ultimate diva of the Roaring Twenties! This vibrant poster captures Mistinguett, the highest-paid female entertainer in the world at the time and the undisputed queen of Parisian music halls. Artist Charles Gesmar was practically her visual biographer, creating over 50 posters that defined her glamorous image for the public. Notice the exaggerated, elegant fingers reaching up to her face and the fluffy white feathers framing her bobbed hair—it's pure Art Deco drama. With her heavy blue eyeshadow and bold red lips, she looks ready to steal the show, proving why she was the first female star to be called a 'superstar'.
