EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait of Beatrice (Bea) Lillie, taken by renowned photographer Janet Jevons in 1933, graced the cover of The Tatler magazine on December 6th of that year. At the time, Lillie was making waves in London's entertainment scene as the star of the "Please" revue at the Savoy Theatre. The image showcases Lillie's unique style and charisma, with her short, cropped hair, fashionable cardigan, and playful expression. Her hand resting on her chin adds an air of thoughtfulness and intrigue, while her piercing gaze draws the viewer in. Lillie's headdress, adorned with feathers and pearls, adds an elegant touch to her edgy look. The inset photograph in the lower left corner shows Lillie in costume from the "Please" revue, further highlighting her versatility as a performer. This photograph is a testament to the 1930s fashion scene, with its blend of short haircuts, stylish cardigans, and crop tops becoming increasingly popular among the fashionable set. Lillie, with her bold personality and innovative style, was a trailblazer of the era. Janet Jevons' portrait of Beatrice Lillie is not only a beautiful work of art but also a snapshot of a bygone era, capturing the spirit of the 1930s and the allure of a star at the height of her career.
