In an age ruled by neatly slicked buns, it’s easy to forget there was a time before extra-hold gel — when hair was encouraged to expand rather than contract.
At the LA premiere for “A Complete Unknown” Tuesday night, Elle Fanning took it upon herself to remind us of those halcyon days, with a bouncy blonde beehive that acted as a portal to the past. Her 1960s-style up-do was finished with a pair of tousled pigtails, secured with two crystal hair-ties which doubled as Fanning’s jewelry for the evening.
The conical pile of locks were inspired by the silhouette of fez and pillbox hats beloved by Jackie Onassis and fixed into place using a mixture of pins and copious hairspray. It was a signature style for Brigitte Bardot, Barbara Streisand, Dolly Parton and, this side of the millennium, by British singer Amy Winehouse. Yet although the retro look has been making a slow and steady return, it’s not to be confused with the hair crowns of yore.
