Dolores del Rio - Victoria Station

On August 30, 1928, the elegant Mexican film star Dolores del Río was photographed standing at the doorway of her luxurious railway carriage at Victoria Station, London, moments before continuing her journey to the Continent. Flanked by two companions in equally stylish attire, she radiates the grace and sophistication that made her an international icon of early cinema.

Del Río was one of the first Latin American actresses to gain major success in Hollywood. Her presence in London reflects the cosmopolitan flair of the Roaring Twenties, a time when film, fashion, and fame began to transcend borders. Wrapped in fur-trimmed coats and cloche hats, the trio embodies the glamour of the era’s jet-set elite — even if their “jets” were steam trains.
