**Mona Lisa Through the Decades — Six Eras, One Timeless Smile** What if Leonardo da Vinci's mysterious Mona Lisa had lived through the changing fashions of the 20th century? From the glamorous flapper elegance of the 1920s to the sophisticated wartime fashion of the 1940s, the feminine charm of the 1950s, the bold mod revolution of the 1960s, the free-spirited flower power of the 1970s, and the colorful extravagance of the 1980s, our famous lady reinvents herself six times. Her hairstyles, clothing, and accessories change with every decade, but her unmistakable smile, iconic pose, and Leonardo's original painting style remain. Six decades, six different looks — and one woman who never goes out of fashion!
