1900s"Gibson Girl" hairdo, and wasp waist, this beauty was the height of fashion in her day.
American artist Charles Dana Gibson (1867-1944) created a pen-and-ink drawing of an idealized woman in the late nineteenth century, sparking a series of illustrated stories which would last two decades. His “Gibson Girl” is considered to have set the standard for fashion and femininity at the turn of the century, as well as perhaps laying the groundwork for countless pin-ups to come.

I love flappers. Since style and whats "hot" changes by decade. This one by far is the most beautiful.
