Retro Love- Bringing Classic Tens from Way Back When

LilaGrimm Aug 04, 2009

Oh hon, forget the 'Rachel' and the 'Diana'- a bevy of beautiful babes are bringing back truly classic styles. The retro trend has been slowly gaining force, but it seems to have a hit a peak with every A-lister nameable sporting some Veronica Lake inspired waves, or bangin' Bettie Page bangs.

Amy Winehouse makes the 1960's beehive her own by putting in blonde streaks and letting more tousled hair loose.

Petra Nemcova's new style is less straight-forward than that of Bettie Page; with the middle of her fringe slightly longer, the curls longer and looser, and the color a much lighter brown.

Drew Barrymore channels Hollywood's most iconic blonde with big bouncy curls and a soft platinum/ashy color.

Kate Bosworth eschews her now trade-mark platinum bob for the evening, instead going with gently formed flapper-inspired curls in a light honey color.

Evan Rachel Wood began leaning towards a pin-up vibe around the same time she began dating Marilyn Manson, and eventually ended up with lovely amber waves that tend to slip over her eyes, much like Veronica Lake.

Emilie Autumn, (by far the most obscure entry on this list, so no worries if you don't know her) plays into a Victorian style, but gives it a punk touch up with baby pink, red, and white streaks/ringlets.

Christina Ricci cut her hair into a super-short bob that echoed Louise Brook's nearly to a T. Structured, dark, with a fairly full fringe, she was still able to pull off some pretty modern getups with it. A proper blending of then and now.
