Lady Paget (Mrs Arthur Paget) dressed as Cleopatra for the Devonshire House Jubilee Ball, 1897.
Mrs.Paget commissioned the most expensive costume from Worth of Paris at a reputed cost of over $6,000. The train is of black crêpe de chine, embroidered with gold scarabs. The bodice, encrusted with gold and diamonds, is held up on the shoulders with straps of large emeralds and diamonds. The square headdress is “one mass of real rubies, emeralds, turquoises, diamonds and pearls” with striped black and gold sphinx-like side pieces studded with diamonds.
