Mary Curzon, Lady Howe

Mary Curzon, Lady Howe (30 October 1887 – 1 September 1962) was an English aristocrat dubbed by the newspapers the Queen of Beauty.

In 1912, she was dubbed the "Queen of Beauty," when she appeared in that role in Patsy Cornwallis-West's Eglinton Tournament at Shakespeare's England.

[7] In The Book Of Beauty by Cecil Beaton, Lady Howe is described as "the elegance of the aristocrat combined with the excessive prettiness that accompanies carnation-pink cheeks and yellow hair.

She is gracefully statuesque, her height is superb, her neck swan-like, and her poreless complexion is like icing-sugar on a birthday cake.

[...] there is no living beauty who can create more of an effect than she when entering a ballroom or sitting in a box at the opera.
