Paris is always a good idea.

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair.

I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and… I believe in miracles.

Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.

Designers want me to dress like Spring, in billowing things. I don’t feel like Spring. I feel like a warm red Autumn.

I don’t know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot.

Beauty and femininity are ageless and can’t be contrived, and glamour, although the manufacturers won’t like this, cannot be manufactured. Not real glamour; it’s based on femininity.

What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course.

The body is meant to be seen, not all covered up.

I adore wearing gems, but not because they are mine. You can’t possess radiance, you can only admire it.

I dress for the image. Not for myself, not for the public, not for fashion, not for men.

Glamour is what I sell, it’s my stock in trade.

I think that the most important thing a woman can have – next to talent, of course – is her hairdresser.

I didn’t discover curves; I only uncovered them.

Cultivate your curves – they may be dangerous but they won’t be avoided.

Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.

A woman’s dress should be like a barbed-wire fence: serving its purpose without obstructing the view.

I think the quality of sexiness comes from within. It is something that is in you or it isn’t and it really doesn’t have much to do with breasts or thighs or the pout of your lips.

Any girl can be glamorous. All you have to do is stand still and look stupid.

I’d rather wear jewels in my hair than anywhere else. The face should have the advantage of this brilliance.
