Dovima (1927-1962) was an American model and icon of haute couture fashion in the 1950s. Her signature style, including her long neck and regal bearing, made her a sought-after model for photographers such as Richard Avedon. She also played a small role in the 1956 film Funny Face, starring Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire.
