Theda Bara in “Cleopatra”
Before Elizabeth Taylor portrayed Cleopatra, Theda Bara took on the role in the 1917 movie. Throughout the film, Bara’s character wore a range of costumes, some of which were quite daring.
Each costume seemed to push boundaries further, becoming progressively more revealing. Among the memorable ensembles, one stands out as the most iconic: a daring outfit featuring two snake breastplates adorning her chest, accentuating her feminine allure.
