I'm not positive, but I think the young woman on the right in the all black bathing suit and headband may be Margaret Gorman - the 1st Miss America (1921). I think those arm bands indicate these girls were participating in the Miss America Pageant.

I think this was taken on the roof of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, which would have been new at that time.

Being the age of the Flapper, I wonder if they really were as innocent as they looked?

What’s the bet one of those young ladies was named Mildred. All jokes aside though... the two (2) young ladies on the right are surely lovely. It’s great to see smiles. It certainly makes a difference to one’s disposition.

Indeed, the young lady on the right is a classic. 'Stunning' is a good word. 'Breathtaking' works as well.

Is that Clara Bow 2nd from the right in the black suit with the lighter stripes?

Jane Fonda's grandmother...stunning!

Wow, this is the year my mother was born. I never imagined my grandmother, who was a contemporary of these girls, ever looking this jaunty!

Shorpy finally shows bathing beauties that are actually beauties.

Just look at those revealing outfits.

Anyone know what the arm bands might be? They all seem to match.
