This photo looks a lot like the ones that were sold in magazines in the 1950s. It's very common to find ads for 'packages' of photos with themes - usually models, but some had themes like girls from (various countries). The tiara on her head is made of shark teeth. The skirt seems to be the original ones used in Hawaiian dances. It's difficult to say if she's really from there, or if she's a model in some studio - as the original photo is quite damaged, it's complicated to try to guess her skin tone. In general, in real photos, she would have a more tanned skin tone, but it's impossible to say for sure. Many of these photos, to be sold by mail, were 'classified' as anthropological studies, art photos, or even photos of poses for designers/painters.
