Take a stroll to the past with Betty Grable’s toes, a trip back to the days when stars of Hollywood dominated the movie screen as far as the passion of the audience was concerned. Betty Grable, who became famous for her provocative pin-up photos that emphasised her fabulous legs, also possessed lovely feet, which became an inseparable part of her glamour, attracting men’s attention from all over the world.
Her feet took her through great movie scenes, and she waltzed through grand ballrooms and she danced her way to becoming one of the legendary Hollywood beauties.
She was among the actresses who fitted the beauty standards of that period when every part of a celebrity’s body was examined and worshipped. In photographs where her feet are decorated with the best footwear of the 1940s and 1950s, including high heels and stylish sandals, there’s more than the revolutionary narrative of the transformation of the female foot and the bringing into being of the four-century tale.
Betty’s feet—likely to be glimpsed in pictures revealing her glamorous lifestyle or simply glimpsed through the folds of fabulous long gowns—were much more than the footnote in her photographic story.
