Miley Cyrus As A 1940s Pinup 

BLONDE, BRUNETTE, CELEBRITY, COLOR, CUT, NOTED, SEXY, SHORT, STYLE, TRENDING

Miley Cyrus goes for glamor with this old world Hollywood style. The side-part allows for ornate, beautifying asymmetry because –– with one side tucked behind the ear and the other tumbling romantically down the eye line –– she creates a gorgeous, face-framing shape.

Smash Has Two Jewels, But Only One Marilyn

BLONDE, CELEBRITY, COLOR, CUT, NOTED, SEXY, SHORT, STYLE

Smash, NBC’s newest musical drama, had its first season finale this week, so its a great time to look at Marilyn Monroe’s symbolic style, as portrayed by Megan Hilty and Katharine McPhee. A timeless bombshell look that inspires women, Marilyn’s hairstyle is old Hollywood glamor.

During the series, Katherine – introspective, brooding – and Megan – playful, sexy – have given us the two sides of the pinup, and roused a new generation to try fifties-throwback looks. From the hair to the makeup to the dresses to the jewels, Marilyn was all about highly polished glamour. Her brilliant blonde – always with romantic tousle – was her coup de grâce.
