Welcome back to Hollywood Heatwave, where we’re turning up the nostalgia to spotlight one of the most daring divas in celebrity history—Jane Mansfield, the blonde bombshell who redefined boldness in Hollywood.

One of her most iconic moments came in 1957 when she arrived at a Beverly Hills dinner party in a gravity-defying dress that stole the spotlight—even from Sophia Loren, whose side-eye in that now-viral photo said it all. But Jane didn’t just push fashion boundaries—she did it strategically, understanding that every shocking outfit meant more headlines. With an IQ of 163, she wasn’t just a pretty face; she was a genius at marketing her image, turning controversy into curiosity.
