Robin Wright, “The Princess Bride”

When it comes to movie manes, Robin Wright’s blonde falls in cascades The princess to marry is hard to beat. And while her turn as enforced royalty may come with a luxurious wardrobe, we prefer her loose, brushed waves to textured perfection.

Diana Ross, ‘Mahogany’

“Diana Ross stunned in a bouncy, voluminous blowout to play fashion designer Tracy Chambers in Mahogany“, says Fitzsimons. “Ross’s hair is set in a deep side part, which helps bring out the glamor of the style.” To achieve this on your own terms, Fitzsimons recommends applying a mousse or volume spray to get maximum hold from your hot tools “You’ll also want to use a generous amount of hairspray and gloss spray to finish the look.”

Mia Farrow, “Rosemary’s Baby”

We can’t talk about movie hairstyles without mentioning Mia Farrow’s sweet, girlish pixie, cut for her character in Rosemary’s baby. The chop remains a main point of inspiration for many people missing it for the first time and provides a pure, innocent juxtaposition to the film’s more sinister events.

Sharon Stone, “Casino”

Fans of the mob wife aesthetic would do well to look to Sharon Stone’s beauty throughout 1995. Casino. “It’s such an iconic mob wife look,” says Jennifer Matos of Rita Hazan. “It’s a classic half-up, half-down style that you can achieve with a paddle brush and flexible hairspray.”

Rachel Weisz, “The Mummy”

Brendan Fraser is great, but I consider Rachel Weisz’s brunette fall to be the real star of The Mummy. The romance of her soft curls is accentuated by French girl bangs, a luxurious hair moment that makes us want to ditch all cuts in favor of fully committed bulking.

The entire cast of “Black Panther”

The look of hair throughout the Black Panther franchise says it all, with head tattoos, natural texture, braids, and coils exuding power, culture, and pride.

Brigitte Bardot, “Contempt”

Natalie Portman, “Closer”

All along Closer, it becomes clear that Natalie Portman’s Alice Ayres isn’t entirely sure who she is, a reality best represented by the wigs worn when she performs. This is especially true of this bubblegum pink, worn for a scene that reveals more about her character than any other.

Pam Grier, Foxy Brown

Foxy Brown is a total celebration of 1970s hair, but Pam Grier’s vibrant afro is a symbol of the era and a much larger movement.

Uma Thurman, “Pulp Fiction”

Uma Thurman’s (or Mia Wallace) onyx and hit Bob pulp Fiction makes his vignette all the more memorable, for better or worse.

Anna May Wong, “Shanghai Express”

“I love how Anna May Wong’s long, loose waves and choppy bangs Shanghai Express. They have this duality where it’s soft and romantic yet still edgy and cool with short, choppy bangs,” says Fitzsimons. “To really nail this look, I recommend adding Bellami extensions to achieve Anna May’s dramatic length, then applying a serum or hair oil to the bangs to give it that sleek look. Hair lengths can be tousled with a texture spray to make things look livelier.

Julia Roberts, “Mystical Pizza”

Julia Robert’s auburn curls have been winning hearts since the late ’80s, and her Mystical Pizza the mane is the pinnacle of free-form (and free-spirited) glamour.

Winona Ryder, “Beetlejuice”

Winona Ryder may be associated with ’90s carefreeness, but her turn as Lydia Deetz in Beetle juice it’s all about that sketchy and complicated gothic girl bun.

Milla Jojovich, “The Fifth Element”

“I truly believe red tones are the look of 2024, and I’m obsessed with this bold, direct, fiery bob that Mila wore in The fifth Element,“, says Fitzsimons. “The precise cutting and vibrant colors pair perfectly with the sci-fi angle of this film.”

To achieve the look, Fitzsimons suggests starting with a precise bob cut to accentuate the jawline. “There’s a lot of texture and definition, which is more editorial,” he says. “For an everyday iteration of this, opt for a French girl cut and style with sprays of texture and shine.”

Angelina Jolie, daughter, “interrupted”

Angelina Jolie’s kinky, baby-banged blonde in Girl interrupted is cleverly, almost strategically, disjointed.

Rita Hayworth, “Gilda”

“Rita Hayworth’s hair in Gilda It’s pure old Hollywood glamour,” says Fitzsimons. “Hayworth’s perfectly tousled curls are styled in a deep side part, which helps amplify that volume effortlessly. To maintain volume, opt for a soft hold hairspray to maintain the shape of the curls while allowing them to move.

Halle Berry, ‘BAPS’

The hair in this film deserves more attention. Period.

Cameron Diaz, “There’s Something About Mary”

That of Cameron Diaz There’s something about Mary bob is a 90s dream, cut to perfection, rounded, face-framing and polished. A cut that can look great even when finished with less than desirable hair products is an everlasting style.

Janet Jackson, “Poetic Justice”

“Janet Jackson’s iconic square braid style Poetic justice “It was definitely a moment that made braids really become her signature look,” says Fitzsimons.

Rachel McAdams, “Mean Girls”

While Gretchen’s hair may be full of secrets, Regina George’s razor-straight bleached blonde is instantly recognizable, an embodiment of the era’s interpretation of status and popularity.

Kirsten Dunst, “Marie Antoinette”

Kirsten Dunst’s journey through Sofia Coppola’s film Marie Antoinette is reflected in her hair, which grows in height and complexity throughout the film.

Penélope Cruz, “Vanilla Sky”

Penelope Cruz’s long brown mane Vanilla Sky is memorable whether worn loose or raked into a tousled bun. “It’s a dreamy straight blowout with classic curtain bangs,” says Matos. “Another example of less is more when it comes to hair in movies.”

Carrie Fisher, “Star Wars”

See! The original space buns.

Michelle Pfeiffer, “Scarface”

Michelle Pfeiffer’s banged bob Scarf is the mother of all polished bobs. “This is a classic round brush and one of my favorite looks for short hair,” says Matos. Volume and shine are key to this style, and Matos suggests using Rita Hazan’s Lifting Spray and Smoothing Cream for maximum shine and swing.

Audrey Hepburn, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”

Holly Golightly’s tiara-topped bouffant is a beacon of sophistication, glamor and the power of dressing up.

Kate Winslet, “Eternal Sunshine of the Impeccable Mind”

Kate Winslet’s hair Eternal sunshine of the impeccable mind is an external representation of his inner world: an ever-changing riot of artificial colors, vivid and undone. Atomic orange (pictured) and root cerulean are perhaps most synonymous with her character, Clementine, and make the case for a fancy shade instead of blonde.

Grace Jones, “A View of a Killing”

“In A view of a killing, Grace Jones wears her signature flattop look, cut short on the sides like a high fade,” says Fitzsimons. “This androgynous look, while quite masculine, also complemented her bone structure and facial features so well! The key to this look is aftercare at a barber and using a strong hold spray to maintain the structure of the look.

Demi Moore’s GI Jeanne hair (or lack thereof) is one of the most popular prototypes of the cool-girl cut that has gained popularity over the past decade. To get the look, it’s simple: just shave your head.

Alicia Silverstone and Stacey Dash, “Clueless”

Cher and Dionne are stronger as a team, and the same can be said about their hair. In every scene the two appear in, the duo’s lengths — a blonde blowout and bobbed braids — devour their surroundings.
