Depending on source this is a Showgirl costume for an early Paramount

or Howard Greer

/ Other sources described this as Ziegfeld Follies Showgirl with Pearls

‘This group of nuns wearing traditional wimples was photographed from the mezzanine level of Washington National Airport, as they farewelled one of their order leaving for South America. The image is a visual puzzle, reminiscent of flowers or origami – until the hands are seen towards the bottom of the photograph.’ (Quoted from source) /
