#8: Evelyn Tripp
Evelyn Tripp’s face appeared on magazine covers because she was an elegant presence that editors and photographers depended on. Born in 1923, she had a classic, accessible beauty that made the high-fashion clothes seem a little less intimidating to the average American woman reading Vogue at home. Then, as the cultural shifts of the era began, she was one of the many top models of her generation who stepped away from the camera for good.
