Whether you want to copy Marilyn Monroes curvy cool or achieve Uma Thurmans gangster glamour, our expert stylist is at hand. Curvy Cool Marilyn Monroe in The Seven Year Itch To channel your inner blonde bombshell, begin by letting a little 1950s glamour go straight to your head. Blowdry your hair using No.3 GHD anti-static round brush. Pull the brush forwards and upwards to create volume and finish with a light volumising hairspray to keep curls high and defined. Marilyn is wearing what stylists politely refer to as the full works but you should go easier on the make-up to avoid a drag queen effect. Instead get the details right apply cherry red lipstick and use an eye pencil to copy her iconic beauty spot. Dont go out without: A set of retro pearls. Gorgeous Gangster Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction If you already have a killer bob or can get hold of a decent wig then Umas bad-girl beauty is simple to achieve. Pull on your sexiest 7/8 trousers, starch up your white shirt and raid your make-up bag for the most dangerous shade of red lippy. The focus is on vibrant red lips. The lipstick used in the film was Chanels Hydrabase in Rouge Noir. Its essential to apply lip liner to perfect the look and fully define the lips. Chanels Rouge Noir lip liner makes the ideal match. Dont go out without: Although Uma spends the movie barefoot, a pair of sexy patent heels will help you feel every inch the vamp. Burlesque Brilliance Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge Feeling brave enough to pick up on the burlesque trend this party season? Then set your sights high and base your look on the silver screens most celebrated courtesan, Satine. If you want to make an impact beyond your fishnets its important to get your foundation right so your make-up sets off your sexy outfit. A foundation close to your own skin tone is key here. Red lips are the focus. If you have fair skin like Nicoles look for a blue- based red which will complement your skin tone. Dont go out without: A sparkly showgirl-style top hat creates a glamorous silhouette and will keep your hair dry on the way. Boho Beautiful Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast At Tiffanys No offence to Miss Friel but for the ultimate in boho-beautiful style its best to take tips from the original Holly Golightly, Audrey Hepburn. Put extra emphasis on the eyes with liquid eyeliner applied thinly to the inner eye and getting thicker towards the outer. For Audreys iconic up-do, backcomb to gain height, then twist the hair into a neat roll and finish with a light shine spray. Your favourite tiara will fix everything in place. Now grab a Martini and slip some over-sized sunnies into your handbag ready for the morning after. Dont go out without: If you can hunt one down at a fancy dress shop, a cigarette holder takes this louche look to a new level.
