This is a lovely portrait of a woman in the 1930's with a typical bob hairstyle.
Her part is off center and she is bang-less. Her brunette hair has gentle finger waves with curls at the ends. The length hits at mid ear which makes this bob quite short. Her make-up is quite plain and she is probably not wearing any. Often the photographer would touch up the photos to smooth skin and refine details. She is wearing a blouse with flowers printed on it and two strands of pearls.
1950's classic: cat eye glasses and a short pixie type cut.
Her hair is short and wavy which is quite typical for this decade. Her bangs are pushed up and off of her forehead in waves and she has no apparent part. Usually women back then made finger waves or placed pin curls to get the desired look. They often set their locks at night with when it was wet and then let it dry during the night. This is certainly a super easy care style. She has large costume jewelry earrings that were probably clip on. She has two pins on the front of her dress that is very plain and no frills. The frames of her glasses are dark at the outer corners and the bottom half is clear. She has a nice smile with nice white teeth and lipstick for sure.

Katy Perry has ever changing hairstyles and here are some favorites:
She has a vintage wavy shoulder length bob in a pink shade here at the MTV Music Awards. She has a record accessory like a tam hat placed toward the front of her head. The style is reminiscent of a Lauren Bacall's 1940's hairstyle.
This vintage photo of a father and daughter on a summer outing shows the charm and style of this era.

This is a charming old photograph that shows us how young woman in the 40's wore their hair and clothes.
These three young ladies are posing in the front yard of this vintage picture. They are sisters and the one in the middle is holding a baby. They all have short hair that is styled in simple and traditional ways. They are wearing cropped blouses and A line skirts that hit at knee length. Their shoes have laces and they are wearing anklet socks. The one on the left is holding her hands in front of her and her one knee is bent for a feminine model-type pose.
