The Queenly Beauty of Nefretiri

Vintage Hollywood connoisseurs love the 1956 cinematic spectacle of “The Ten Commandments,” directed by the legendary Cecil B. DeMille. Amidst the grandiosity, Anne Baxter, playing Queen Nefretiri, emerges with a vision of beauty, holding and surrounded by lavish flowers.

Though her costume of an extravaganza of gold and jewels was historically inaccurate, it evoked gasps of awe upon the film’s release. Yes, history purists might raise an eyebrow, but there’s no denying the magnetic allure Anne brought to the silver screen. In a movie teeming with grand scenes and epic ambitions, her floral moment remains a freeze-frame of Hollywood’s golden era.
