Get the Look: Jayne Mansfield
With Viva Las Vegas coming April 18-21, what better time to extol the style of glamour girl Jayne Mansfield? One of the most unabashedly self-promoting, confident sex symbols that ever graced a stage or screen (or tabloid or nightclub), Mansfield was dubbed the “Working Man’s Monroe.” She was the gaudiest and boldest of them all.
In 1954, Mansfield adopted her signature color pink, and in her inimitable way, furnished with it (her house was called the Pink Palace), drove it (a pink Cadillac), drank it (her home had a fountain spurting pink champagne), and of course, wore it.
This week, we splash out with Jayne-worthy swimwear, leopard prints, Sweater Girl sweaters, sheath dresses, low cut necklines, lingerie, and all things fabulously flamboyant.
