Note from the book: The following list is meant to help give you a clearer picture of what a Soft Classic can be when she is visually defined. It is not meant to suggest that the ladies included always dress to their best advantage, so please be careful when you view pictures of them. Because each human being is truly an individual, all Soft Classics have unique qualities that set them apart from everyone else. Therefore, concentrate on discovering the continuity that ties these celebrities together. I think you'll find that each share a radiantly elegant beauty, along with a graciously refined essence.
