EDITORS COMMENTS

Taken in 1925 during her performance in the Revue Negre at the Theatre des Champs-Elysees, Baker stands confidently on stage wearing her famous banana belt. The image, captured by renowned photographer Lucien Walery, showcases both Baker's undeniable talent and her unique sense of style. Baker's presence is magnetic as she exudes grace and confidence while adorned with a belt made entirely of bananas. This bold fashion statement became synonymous with her persona and remains an enduring symbol of her trailblazing career. With a mischievous smile on her face, she captivates the audience with every movement. Walery's expert composition highlights not only Baker's beauty but also the energy of the moment. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the photograph, emphasizing Baker as the central focus amidst a sea of adoring fans.
