Anonymous Lady In Full Glamour 1940s

Anybody have any clues who this young starlet might be?   I have no date on the photograph but it is from MGM.  The photograph is actually quite large in nature so I'm able to zoom into a lot of details. I am thinking this is an early 40s look, what do you think?

It's so wonderfully put together.   The tilt hat with the pin curls formed to complement the hat.   I also love the angular nature of the gloves.   Notice the backdrop, and the diagonal pleating effect.   A  very masterfully placed composition.  Below are more detailed shots and if you are new to my blog, click over on the link to the side "vintage fashion photography" to see others in this series.



There was a small chip to the photograph right near her eye.




Yes, I'd like a pair of these shoes hot off the presses.




Check out the details in her lovely pin curls.  I'll have to see if I might be able to do this one day.




So there you have it, a detailed look at this smashing young lady and please let me know if you figure out who she is.

    Isn't she lovely! No idea who she is but I think the mystery of her identity adds to her allure. Now, where can I get my hair done like that?

    This is an amazing photograph! Love her hair and the dress is stunning! I would go for early 40s too.

    She has one of those beautiful faces that seems strikingly familiar (and actually also reminds me of my gorgeous mother a bit), but off the top of my head, I can't place her. I just saved this photo to my desktop though, so if I see another image in the course of my online travels that reminds me of our mystery lady, I can compare the two side-by-side.

      Oh this is just so lovely that she reminds you of your mother:) I'll have to keep my eye open for who this starlet might be.

    Yeah, I have no idea either, but I am taking a bunch of inspiration and style clues from her!
