Vintage Hair

Getty Images Dita Von Teese has been a darling of the fashion elite for several years now, thanks to her meticulous crafting of a total retro glamazon character. In addition to the gorgeous couture gowns, restrictive garments, carefully applied cosmetics, and china doll skin, Von Teese pays a lot of attention to her raven black hair, which is always - always - fashioned to look befitting of a 1940s or '50s pinup girl. With a pretty vintage rhinestone barrette: With an extremely complicated...Read Full Story

I may not have been totally jazzed about the fact that Anne Hathaway wore a double-breasted black suit to a movie premiere (as pretty and chic as it is, I just don't want to see a black suit on that red carpet!), but I definitely loved her sleek 1960s hairstyle. For this look, Anne has her hair combed smoothly beneath a black headband, and then teased for volume behind it (this all after blow-drying it straight, of course). It's exactly the same hairstyle worn by Liv Tyler in That Thing You...Read Full Story

Actress Evan Rachel Wood began wearing her hair in decidedly retro styles around the same time she started dating shock rocker Marilyn Manson, who was married to modern-day pinup girl Dita Von Teese. While we never really loved the whole Dita 2.0 thing Evan tried to pull off, some of the hairstyles she sported were pretty cool. I wouldn't recommend pairing the 'dos with those Joan Crawford eyebrows, though, unless you're dying to go the full monty. A gorgeous vintage updo twist: Actress Evan...Read Full Story

Getty Images. The updo Kate Bosworth sported to Vanity Fair's Oscar Party proved that a hairstyle can look classic and funky at the same time. Kate, who has shoulder length hair, has her hair twisted into a bun, with a twist of hair on the side for volume. To get this look, you have to artfully start the twist for the bun up on the side of your head. It's a perfect hairstyle to complement Kate's shimmering Alexander McQueen dress. What a lovely look for Kate!Read Full Story

Getty Images One of my favorite Golden Globes looks belonged to Drew Barrymore , who went all-out with a daring '60s 'do and retro makeup. She complemented the vintage look with a gorgeous John Galliano for Dior gown in pale blue (the same color as her eyeshadow).

Getty Images. Actress Eva Mendes wore a sexy updo to complement her gorgeous Bill Blass dress to the Los Angeles premiere of her newest movie, The Spirit . With the slight teasing around the crown and the smoky eyes, Eva was definitely borrowing from the sex kitten look popularized in the 1960s. This is a look that suits Eva quite well - perhaps that's why we've seen her use it so many times.

90210 star Jennie Garth looked lovely at last night's People's Choice Awards in a simple black dress and a gorgeous retro makeup and hair look. Jennie channeled 1950s sex siren Marilyn Monroe with her cherry red matte lips, luscious eyelashes, and blonde curled bob. Jennie seems to favor retro looks; she sported a similar look to the premiere of her husband Peter Facinelli 's latest movie, Twilight .

Getty Images. I love the retro looks Drew Barrymore has been rocking on the red carpet of late. At the world premiere of He's Just Not That Into You --which she executive produced--Drew wore her blonde locks in a flippy ponytail that helped her show off some sparkling diamond-knot earrings. The makeup, with fake lashes and heavy upper-lid eyeliner and nearly-nude lips, helped to complete the vintage look. I'm on the fence when it comes to Drew's Lanvin dress, however. I love the color of the...Read Full Story

Photo Agency. Vintage hair can work wonders. The occasions in which I actually admire former OC star Mischa Barton have been few during the past few years, but I have to admit I'm digging the look she sported to the Christian Dior Spring 2009 Couture fashion show this week. The actress looked quite pretty with a mildly-voluminous half-up, half-down hairstyle that was just gentle enough to look effortless. Unlike fellow beehive-wearer Amy Winehouse , Mischa Barton's hair is quite neatly pinned...Read Full Story
