The surprise trend of 2024! Who would have thought that the green-haired, sharp-suited ghost could inspire makeup fans across the globe to paint their lips green and then draw on lots of creepy black lines in a bid to emulate the unlikely beauty icon.
Marilyn Monroe in Some Like it Hot: the red lip
The classic red lip became a signature style for Marilyn Monroe and the feminine yet sexy look is still a failsafe way to add instant glamour for beauty fans across the globe.
Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s: the cat-eye flick
Hepburn’s ultra-chic character Holly Golightly nailed multiple fashion and beauty trends, including the chignon hairstyle and little black dress with a classic string of pearls. Yet it was the dramatic cat-eye flick, flawlessly drawn on with black liquid liner, which set a trend that still enjoys a global following today.
Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction: the Rouge Noir nail
When Quentin Tarantino’s iconic film hit cinemas, Thurman’s shiny black bob and blunt fringe became a much-emulated hairstyle at salons across the land. However, it was her elegant black-red nails that stood out to many beauty fans and made Chanel’s Rouge Noir nail polish an overnight sell-out that has also stood the test of time.
Jennifer Aniston in Friends: The Rachel cut
Never has a haircut inspired a stampede of so many women to head to the salon as Jennifer Aniston’s choppy, layered bob from the early days of Friends.
Despite the high-maintenance styling efforts, plus the need for regular trips to the salon to keep those layers just-so, the cut still goes down in history as the most iconic ‘do of all time.
Desperately Seeking Susan: The 80s perm
The 1980s was a decade of eccentric hair and makeup trends that probably won’t see the light of day again. Madonna’s dirty-blonde permed bob with a giant bow headband stole the show in Desperately Seeking Susan and is still an iconic look today. The devil-may-care style epitomises the fashion and beauty looks of that time.
