Certainly a smile 'to die for'.

Love the treatment and framing, both of which add substantially to the overall impact of an already fine image.

Studio shot with a professional model or just a chance encounter?

Agree heartily.Congratulations on an eye-catching portrait. I note the multiple curved lines here, from her hat to her fan, to her bust, etc etc. And yes, the smile is very special and mischievous.

Thank you for your kind words.

Actually it was a piece of street photography... taken at a Pride march with the background tidied up in PP.
