Can anyone really forget the seductive charm of Marilyn Monroe, the refined elegance of Elizabeth Taylor or the hypnotic presence of Grace Kelly? Today, people still swear by these divine beauties who once dominated the Hollywood scene with their fantastic mix of talent and style. No wonder the old Hollywood glamour style with its timeless appeal is making a huge come back in the fashion circuit these days. Not only designers are looking up to yesteryear Hollywood glamour divas for inspiration, they are trying to bring in a modern twist to their timeless style. Let’s check how the old Hollywood glamor style is touching our lives once again…

The clip on earrings craze of the ’40s is causing a lot of ripples in today’s fashion circuit. Considered as one of the trendiest jewelry items of the recent time, clip on earrings are a huge craze among present Hollywood movie stars and fashion-forward women. Not only the clip-on style can make your hair stand out, it can also highlight your jaw line and cheek bones, making you look no less than a modern diva.

Empire waist dresses were very much in the Hollywood fashion scene of 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. Since then, it has managed to remain a timeless dress. The style was immortalized by the famous Hollywood beauty Audrey Hepburn; today, it’s worn by the likes of Kate Winslet. Remember Kate in her beautiful burgundy color empire waist dress in “Titanic”? Since the waistline of the dress sits above the natural waistline and flows all the way down to the hem, this gives an illusion of a fuller bust while drawing away attention from any lower body imperfections. This makes it an optimal choice for women of all ages even today.

Oriental perfumes have always captivated Hollywood stars. Even the Hollywood legend, Elizabeth Taylor, has been bowled over by the mysterious sensuality of oriental perfumes. Her famous oriental fragrance, Passion, is a true testament to this.

To me, old Hollywood is the era of perfectly pulled together people. They were not only impeccable in the way they dressed, but also the elegant manner in which they carried themselves. That is the ultimate essence of old Hollywood which is unforgettable.
