Veronica's Paisley Satin Robe

Veronica.

They say it takes luck to make it big in Hollywood.

One example: Veronica Lake was posing for a publicity shoot when a single S-curl of her long, blonde hair fell alluringly over her right eye.

Instant peek-a-boo effect. Instant va-va-voom.

The sultry look became her trademark and its popularity swept across the country.

In fact, the style was so widely copied that during the war, when many women on the homefront took jobs in factories, Lake realized the style might be a liability for them.

So she styled her hair in a more practical up-do. Looked just as devastating.

Wearing things like this (we imagine).

With a kitten heel or without.

Hair long or short. Both of her bottomless blue eyes showing, or just one.

A gazillion scenarios come to mind.
