An Enchanting Vision of Edwardian Elegance: Anna Held's Diamond-Embellished Stockings, 1913 In an era of opulence and extravagance, the early 20th century was a time when fashion and art intertwined, creating a visual spectacle that continues to captivate our imagination. Among the most intriguing figures of this period was Anna Held, a Polish-born French and later Broadway stage performer and singer, whose captivating presence and unique style left an indelible mark on the world of entertainment. This evocative photograph, taken in 1913, showcases Anna's enchanting allure as she dons an exquisite Edwardian costume. The image, published by the Illustrated London News Ltd and available through Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of glamour and sophistication. Anna's outfit is a testament to the artistic flair and craftsmanship of the time. Her lavish diamond-embroidered stockings, a daring and innovative addition to her ensemble, are a standout feature. The intricate embroidery, adorned with a myriad of diamonds, adds an air of regal elegance to her appearance. Pairing her diamond stockings with a feathered headdress and a flowing, embroidered gown, Anna exudes an aura of mystique and allure. As a trailblazer in the world of entertainment, Anna Held's fashion choices were often ahead of her time. Her daring and innovative style, as seen in this photograph, continues to inspire and captivate us, offering a glimpse into the world of Edwardian fashion and the enduring allure of the past.
