Uma Thurman's 1950's Vogue Mother

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

From these pictures of her mother, it's easy to see where actress Uma Thurman gets her stunning good looks from. 

The snaps of Nena von Schlebrugge were taken for Vogue when she worked as model in the 1950s. 

The shots were taken in a London alleyway by photographer Norman Parkinson and show Nena wearing items from Yves Saint Laurent’s first collection for Christian Dior.
