this is what google throws up ...for ideas.

I'm guessing the lighting wont matter its the props/dress/make-up that the person wants done in a 1950's style.

Pick an example from PCPhoto's list of the 1950s, use your 85mm 1.8 lens and put her near a large window for natural light and don't bother using flash.
