THE BRIDAL BEAUTY ARCHIVES: Iconic Hairstyles Worth Repeating ✨
The internet is right: “hair theory” is real, and the way we wear our hair really is vibe-defining, and there is no better example than on your wedding day.
We’ve rounded up some vintage looks to remind us all that good hair is truly timeless.
Have a peek and let these iconic looks inspire you…
1960s Brigitte Bardot

There really is no greater hair inspo than Brigitte Bardot. Up or down, we’ll never get tired of her wispy, wavy, gravity-defying volume.
We mere mortals may have to break out the hairspray (and maybe some extra hair) to get the job done, but we know this look will never fade. If you’re going for soft and sultry, how could you resist?

1950s Audrey Hepburn

If your modern bridal up-do isn’t hitting, we suggest taking a page from the book of Audrey. There is no short ‘do more iconic, and you don’t have to have the cut to get the look! Sculptural, sleek, and sartorially scintillating – an Audrey-inspired up-do will stop the show.
@geenahunt What do we think of the baby bangs? Audrey Hepburn 50s hairstyle ❤️ #hairstyle ♬ Put Your Head On My Shoulder - Paul Anka
1980s Cher

If you have curls, this ‘80s Cher moment is for you. We see a lot of straight hair and soft waves in bridal beauty, and we love that, but the curly girls have our heart with this one. We love them piled high, spilling out around the face, and so much prime real estate for nestling glitzy accoutrements.

Not every bridal hair look has to be an up-do! This 2004 red carpet look from Alicia Keys shows that you can be glam while still wearing your hair down. We’re loving that this keeps the hair out of your face without sacrificing movement. The look is serving goddess with length, texture, and not to mention lower maintenance for the morning!
@chelseaj0rdan Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions 🤍🤍 #boxbraids #boxbraidshairstyles #blackhairstyle ♬ original sound - chelseajordan
1950s Grace Kelly

If soft glam waves have your heart but modern takes feel a little been there, done that, it might be time to take it back to its roots. We’re stealing style tips from real royalty – the literal princess of perfectly coiffed curls, Grace Kelly.
The soft sweetness of the big barrel curls without the fuss throughout the day; the idea is that these babies stay right where they belong. You really can’t get lost following the patron saint of elegance and grace.

1990s Lucy Liu

Meet Lucy Liu’s soft-yet-spiky updo. Her iconic look from the 1999 Emmy Awards reminds us that side parts will always have a place in our hearts. We love that this feels classic without being uptight.
And there are options for this look: leave your bun loose and loopy, or lock it down. Let some wispies fall around the face or use your hair tie like a pseudo facelift! It's sweet, it's dramatic, it's timeless. Now, everyone say, “Thank you, Lucy!”
