Amber Heard

The way that this front area swoops up and back like a big roll is reminiscent of how women wore their hair in the early 1900's. Her blonde color is light and bright with darker roots and undertones. The back could be brought up into a simple bun or a french braid. The event here is 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.

This Victorian updo is full of poof around the crown and the front area is embellished with curls that cover over the forehead. Women of this time period still wore their locks long and pulled up into styles that looked short and kept the mane out of the way of chores and such. She is wearing a lacy white blouse with a black choker. Her face is quite plain as make-up was not common.
