Oscar-Night Glamour: A Retrospective
We always hear a quajillion references to "old Hollywood glamour" when discussing how modern-day celebrities look at the Academy Awards. The truth is, vintage Oscar beauty was far from one-size-fits-all--just look at these memorable hair/makeup moments from Tinseltown's past.
Barbara Streisand at the Governor's Ball in 1969. Major smoky eyes, and what a bump!
Natalie Wood in 1968...clearly not afraid of faux lashes. Or gift-wrap-esque hair bows.
Sophia Loren, queen of thick, dramatic liquid eyeliner, puffing away during the 1963 Academy Awards.
Audrey Hepburn with bettie bangs in 1954. Check out those huuuge drawn-on, squared-off brows. She'd top the "don't" lists for those today!
Grace Kelly in 1954, with orange-red lipstick and yellow roses tucked in her hair.
Betty Grable painted on a heart-shaped red pout in 1942.
Ginger Rogers went for a poufy, flower-adorned half-up 'do in 1941.
Here's a question to ponder this afternoon: Who among today's glamorous Hollywood creatures do you think people will still be talking about decades from now? Which stars do you think will prove forgettable over time, and why? Be sure to stop by the blog Sunday night, since Beth will be covering Oscar night's beauty statements in real time.
