Elizabeth Taylor after the screening of "Around the World in 80 Days" at the Cannes Film Festival in 1957. She was among more than a thousand guests invited by her husband Mike Todd to a gala supper at Les Ambassadeurs to celebrate the film. At this time she was widely considered to be one of the most beautiful women in the world.

At the 1957 Cannes Film Festival, Elizabeth Taylor attends a gala supper hosted by her husband Mike Todd to celebrate "Around the World in 80 Days." Captured in a soft-focus, black and white photograph, she is seen from over her right shoulder. Turned in profile, she smiles with her head tilted slightly down. A light-catching tiara sits atop her elegant updo, complementing a one-shoulder gown. Dramatic lighting creates a strong contrast, highlighting her profile and the curve of her neck and back against deep shadow.
