But that classic look from Sophia Loren tops the Mansfield image search results.

She owns the word "bombshell", and always will.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jayne_Mansfield-Sophia_Loren_photo

In April 1957, Mansfield's breasts were the focus of a notorious publicity stunt intended to deflect media attention from Sophia Loren during a dinner party in the Italian star's honor. Photographs of the encounter were published around the world. The best-known photo showed Loren's disapproving gaze falling on the cleavage of the American actress (who was seated between Loren and her dinner companion, Clifton Webb) when Mansfield leaned over the table, allowing her breasts to spill over her low neckline and exposing one nipple.[2] The photograph of that episode was a UPI sensation, appearing in newspapers and magazines with the word "censored" hiding the actress's exposed bosom.[3] Sophia Loren said in a 2014 interview that she was "staring at her nipples because I am afraid they are about to come onto my plate."[4]
