Miss Lily Elsie, actriz y reconocida belleza inglesa de la era Eduardiana. Se convirtió en una súper-estrella y una de las mujeres más fotografiadas de su época después de protagonizar la versión Inglesa de la Opereta de Franz Lehar "La Viuda Alegre" en 1907.
Se dice que el interés en la moda y el teatro de Cecil Beaton surgió por la fascinación que este sintió por Miss Lily en su juventud.

Sometimes, you see a photo that catches your attention, it almost talks to you, don't you think? This is what happened to me with this photo I found in Pinterest, so I decided to investigate who could this beautiful stranger be.
Miss Lily Elsie, actress and renown beauty of the Edwardian era. She became a super star and one of the most photographed women of her time after starring in the English version of Franz Lehar's Operetta "The Merry Widow" in 1907.
It was said to have been an early fascination with Lily Elsie that started Cecil Beaton's (Sir Cecil Walter Hardy Beaton 1904-1980) interest in fashion & costume.
