With TV series like Mad Men and Downtown Abbey, you can understand how the influence of past styles are greatly inspiring modern trends. Throughout this year’s awards season, the red carpet has been graced with an abundance of contemporary takes on classical looks.
Here are a few of our favourites…

| Bouffant-beautiful Bridget Bardot, The Ronettes and Audrey Hepburn (in Breakfast at Tiffany’s) were super influential in popularising the beehive hair-do in the swinging sixties. In the 2000s, the style has been revived in various forms by the likes of Amy Winehouse, Lana Del Ray and Adele. Whether opting for a big, bold bouffant or a more subtle and soft version, beehive hairstyles are all sass and class. | |

| Glamour-gorgeous Silver-screen sirens such as Rita Hayworth, Bette Davis and Marilyn Munroe have inspired today’s starlets to wear their tresses in waves of glamorous retro curls. Today’s version is slightly smoother and more defined; but either way, these vintage curls are utterly romantic and oh so charming. | |

| Pixie-perfect There always seems to be a leading lady sporting a show-stopping short crop. Michelle Williams, Carey Mulligan and current favourite Anne Hathaway have taken cue from such icons as Twiggy, Mia Farrow and Audrey Hepburn (this picture of her is from the film ‘Wait until dark’), to fashion a side-swept and feathered crop that is a perfect mix of sweet, chic, sophisticated, feminine and fun. | |
