"A Look Back" is a daily column that highlights a moment from fashion's fabulous past. Today's pick is of American actress Lauren Bacall in a studio portrait from 1944. I can't decide which I love more: her coral lipstick or her sequinned top?

I agree people try to look the part and walk the walk today its gotin wild . They all want your attention look at me I look like a movie star . Just be your self the natural way to be .they spend cash to get the look. The first to get the shoes the phone .Boys wit new toys show offs . Miami is full of show offs they can be so boaring . a natural man or women is Real
Be real with yourself .. Then people will see you for whom u are. gary

Lauren Bacall looks so fabulous. The pic looks like it was taken for a modern magazine--shows you that good style is timeless.

Such class those 1940's gals had, without the extreme or no plastic surgery. Sadly all that is gone. Stars today are lack-luster and are a dime-a-dozen.

I think Lauren Bacall still wears her hair in that same style. It is a classic one.

I love the 1940s! I wish the suits and fedoras would return to style. I also love the dresses, red lipstick, and hair parted on the side look the women used to do.
