Back in the day when men were back from WWII, a date with a girl might have been a simple picnic.
1940's Picnic
A drive out to country, a blanket spread on the ground, a thermos, dishes, and lunch food make up a lovely warm afternoon outing. The young lady poses for the camera while sitting on the edge of the blanket with their transportation in the background, which happens to be a vintage car. The woman is wearing her hair pulled back and held there with a bow. She has very short bangs that are curled under and she is wearing glasses. Her white blouse has full baby doll sleeves with ruffles and eyelet around the collar and scoop neck. She is wearing shorts with a high waist.

Up to date and modern interpretation of a vintage 1940s hairstyle:
modern victory rolls
Lots of strong hold hair gel and spray would help to hold the shape of these large rolls that decorate the top portion of this blonde partial updo. Covered bobby pins are a must to secure the curls into place. The back section is left long and and slightly curled. Check here for more information on victory rolls.

Sienna is absolutely charming with 1940's cascading blonde soft waves.
Sienna Miller
The length? Hair extensions maybe? This is very possible. A large barrel curling iron held vertically and winding sections around the outside of it and toward the front help to get this look. Her bright blue eyes, dark eyebrows, and red lipstick add to her overall appeal. This photo of her was taken at G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra Los Angeles Premiere.

Elizabeth has a pretty feminine hairstyle that shouts 1940's glamour with soft curls that just touch the shoulders.
Elizabeth Banks
This is a simple yet elegant style that works for evening as well as daytime. An off center part with smooth sides that swoosh back behind the ears to show off lovely drop earrings and then give way to soft curls makes this look perfect for a special event.
