In the 1940s, women began the trend of looking to the Hollywood starlets for inspiration on hairstyles, and here we have a vintage hairstyle from that era. This gal is sporting cascading waves with bangs rolled back and secured probably with a decorative barrette at the top and back of her head. A popular length during this time was just past the shoulders.

Valerie Bertinelli has been in the spotlight lately with her weight loss, but we love her feathered hairstyle. It is simple and very retro. Many of the celebrities are sporting this layered and wispy look. Shandi Fiennessy has a similar style.

Valerie looks great and proves that women in their 40's can look hip and wear hot styles.

Here is an elegant updo with a hint of vintage. Hair is pulled back from a side part and secured into 2 high pigtails that are rolled up and secured to look like two large buns. This style has a 1940s edge to it and a peacock feather is added for drama. The colors in the feather look wonderful with this model's olive skin tone, dark brown hair and eyes. The colors in her eye make-up were inspired by the shades in the feather such as the cool blue. This hairstyle would look lovely for any evening event.
