La Môme Moineau (the kid sparrow), "the richest woman of the Côte d'Azur", former flower seller, and her husband Félix Benítez-Rexach, Puerto Rican ship building millionaire. Cannes 1954.
Puerto Rican shipbuilding millionaire Félix Benítez-Rexach and his wife, La Môme Moineau—a former flower seller known as "the richest woman of the Côte d'Azur"—in Cannes, 1954. He stands composed in a dark suit and two-toned spectator shoes, while she looks up at him with an adoring smile. Her eclectic outfit of a wide-brimmed hat, shorts, and intricate gladiator sandals offers a striking contrast to his formality as she holds his arm affectionately by a poolside.
