Sally Ward Lawrence Hunt Armstrong Downs, also known as Sallie Ward, (1827 – 1896). American "Southern belle." Born into the Southern aristocracy of Kentucky in the Antebellum South, she married four times. After a failed marriage into the Boston Brahmin elite, she married three more times and became a socialite in New Orleans and Louisville, Kentucky. She was one of the first women in the United States to wear cosmetics, and she wore daring outfits.
She organized one of the first fancy dress balls in Kentucky and paved the way for wearing several dresses during a given society ball.
