A Hollywood Stunner – Dolores Del Rio
In those days, many people thought that Dolores del Rio had the ideal body. In the words of kids today, she was a true body inspo! Her body was described as “warmly curved” and “roundly turned” by the magazine Photoplay, which also said the Mexican star had the best figure among Hollywood actresses. Dolores del Rio went on to become one of the most important stars of Mexican cinema’s Golden Age.

1940s – The Star-Spangled Girl
A lot of changes came with the 1940s. Let us not forget the Second World War happened during this decade. The global conflict pretty much affected everything, including what people see as the ideal body type. Broad shoulders and long limbs became desirable. It was also during this era that the “bullet” or “torpedo” bra was introduced. In general, women’s fashion at that time was about hourglass silhouettes with masculine details: nipped-in high waist tops, padded shoulders, and A-line skirts which came down to the knees.
