Josephine Baker behind the scenes at a summer gala at Sporting d'Eté, Monte Carlo 1961.

Josephine Baker backstage at a summer gala at the Sporting d'Eté, Monte Carlo, 1961. The celebrated performer stands confidently, hands on hips, in a dazzling showgirl costume. Her shimmering, rhinestone-covered catsuit with a sweetheart bustier is complemented by a towering headdress of ostrich feathers and a large white boa cascading from her lower back. Elegant long white gloves complete her glamorous ensemble as formally dressed guests observe from the background.
