This is Eva Green's version of a bouffant updo. Her bangs are pulled straight back and worked into the bouffant which has some decent height on top.

The sides are pulled back and kept close to the scalp. She has medium/dark brown hair and a fair complexion. Her eyes are blue grey and match her high neck dress. This shot was taken at "Dark Shadows" Los Angeles Premiere. Eva plays Angelique Bouchard who placed a curse on Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp) which turned him into a vampire in the 18th century. The original soap opera, which the movie is based on, aired from 1966 to 1971 so this retro 60's beehive hairstyle is perfect for the occasion.

Her bangs are somewhat long and brushed to the sides as they incorporate into the curls/waves. The length is just above shoulder level. Her lovely dangle earrings can be easily seen. A medium curling iron held vertically and twisted toward the back can help to get a style like this one. Working with completely dry hair, create sections and work on one at a time. This is a pretty look for a special occasion or any time really.

Flat Iron Styling

This is a side view which shows how the back is cut into a stacked shape where the inside layers are longer and they gradually get shorter working toward the outer layer. This creates sleek lines that accentuate the neck and shapely feminine curves. When a super straight look is desired, sectioning off the strands helps to work with small pieces making it easier to get the results.

Her deep set bangs are very short and rolled under in a semi circular fashion. The sides are pulled back and held in place with bobby pins while the length comes down in easy curls. Her pink studded leather jacket resembles something a 1950's singing cowgirl may have worn. She is sticking to her fine retro form.
