Today's Hollywood has nothing on the Golden Age. The most stylish stars on our red carpets are usually those who are imitating the sirens of the past, from Jennifer Lopez to Scarlett Johannson. Here, find articles, pictures, news, and video of beautiful retro fashion of all decades. Sometimes it's best to go old school.
Getty Images. Dita Von Teese refuses to be seen without full makeup and heels, and for that I have a lot of respect. It takes serious moxie to get dressed up like this for pilates, and a dedication to glamour that I obviously don't possess. Perhaps that's why so many famous designers adore her. Von Teese, neé Heather Sweet, is currently catching the couture collections in Paris. At the Christian Dior Spring 2009 Haute Couture show, she wore a gray belted Dior dress with jeweled...

I really wanted to write about “Cockney Empire”, there’s a tiny little mention of them at Margin.tv and this picture is all I could find on them. Cockney Empire is the brainchild of an ex-senior designer from Chunk T-Shirts , don’t ask me which one because I honestly don’t know. I did a little detective work, okay I Googled “ Cockney Empire ” and found a completely empty site at www.cockneyempire.com and so I assume I’m a little too early for the party and thought I may as well do the next...

It seems like there are lots of organic labels launching these days, but fashion has always been “green”—at least when it comes to recycling ideas, anyway. Many of the most fashionable celebrities have borrowed trends from decades they’re probably way too young to remember. Some, like Christina Aguilera, are total retro queens who always look as if they’ve stepped off the set of a Joan Crawford film. Here are the ten most time warped celebrities. 10. Evan Rachel Wood Evan at Hollywood Life... Read Full Story
1. Christina "Marilyn" Aguilera This dress is definitely 1920's flapper inspired. Getty Images. It seems that I'm writing about songstress Christina Aguilera every day. She's made a lot of interesting fashion decisions, from huge blonde/pink afros to full-body orange concealer. For the past few years, however, Christina's classed-up her act. She makes a fabulous 1920's starlet or 1950's bombshell. I'm surprised they didn't choose her for that big Marilyn photo shoot over at NYmag. Leave... Read Full Story
Salma Hayek arrives at the Hollywood Domino Game Launch benefitting The Art of Elysium. Getty images.

Mexican screen goddess Salma Hayek sported a beaded headband over her simple low updo, styled to look like a... Read Full Story
8. Katherine Heigl Katherine Heigl knows that retro cuts like this 1940's inspired lavender dress best suit her curvy figure. The 1940's were the age of the Sweater Girl, when clothes were tailored to show off hourglass figures. Thanks to expert tailoring, Katherine manages to cover everything up and still look sexy. The golden curls help. This is Katherine's Academy Awards look. While the makeup may have looked a bit extreme (i.e. garish), the rest of Katherine's look screams 1950's... Read Full Story

2. Dita Von Teese Dita at the Ocean's Thirteen after party. Getty Images. NEWSFLASH: Dita Von Teese's real name isn't Dita. It's actually Heather Sweet--pretty cute, if you ask me. But Dita doesn't want cute, she wants glam. There is no other celebrity so faithful to her 1940's and 50's fashion, none so happily corseted, so heavily lipsticked. As spokesmodel for several different brands, including Frederick's of Hollywood, Dita has become a certified style icon for the '00s, although... Read Full Story
6. Bai Ling No Comment. Getty Images. Yes, Chinese import Bai Ling has made our list of time-warped celebrities. Her style isn't exactly retro... ...so much as...futuristic? Getty Images Oh God, I hope not. Can you imagine Miley Cyrus wearing this in 2020? GET BAI'S LOOK: Proceed with caution. Bai seems to love her severe blunt bang, cut low across her forehead. She also sometimes wears chunky haircolors, usually blocks of red (try a temporary spray). She wears a lot of eyeliner, and... Read Full Story
