Cecil Beaton often photographed the elegant and the glamorous
whilst gazing over a shoulder into a mirror. There seems to be an
indication that their beauty was simply too much for a single

Whatever the intention -
He seems to have captured Gertrude Lawrence
in a reflective questioning moment.
My simple answer to that question.
Yes, Gertrude, you look divine.
