EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the radiant beauty and elegance of actress Shirley Kellogg in her iconic role as The Queen of Diamonds in the theatrical production, Razzle Dazzle, which premiered at the esteemed Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in July 1916. The First World War era was a time of extravagance and opulence, and this costume, designed and meticulously crafted by the renowned designer Elspeth Phelps of 29 Albemarle Street, perfectly embodies the spirit of the time. The dress, a stunning work of art in itself, is fashioned from peau de soie and adorned with silver and diamonds, adding an air of regal sophistication to the character. The intricate fringing, shimmering under the stage lights, adds a sense of movement and dynamism to the costume, enhancing the allure of the actress and the enchantment of the performance. Razzle Dazzle was a theatrical sensation, and Shirley Kellogg's portrayal of The Queen of Diamonds was a standout moment in the production. The costume, a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship, became a symbol of the glamour and excitement of the London stage during the WWI era. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring power of the arts to transport and delight, even in the midst of adversity.
