A new book of stunning portraits of celebrities has just been released.
Icons by oscar! is an incredible collection of pictures from well-known photographer Oscar Abolafia, which was overseen by Lannoo Publishers.
The images were taken many decades ago in a different era, before Photo Shopping and retouch madness. In many cases, the shots are candid with little preparation capturing the true essence of a star at ease.
Some of the brighter names in the 248 page book are Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Farrah Fawcett, Priscilla Presley, Frank Sinatra and Elizabeth Taylor.
Puffing away: Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis is seen smoking a cigarette in a photo by Oscar Abolafia for his new book Icons By oscar! out now
Jacqueline Kennedy was one of the most private celebrities of her time. But there was enormous intrigue about the woman who was married to President John F Kennedy (from 1953 until 1963) then Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis (from 1968 until 1975).
In three new images from the book, Jackie looks at ease.
In one photo she is seen smoking a cigarette with the help of an elegant white and gold holder.
She is beautifully made up with pink lipstick and her hair coiffed into a 1960s style. And she has on her signature pearl necklace.
