Actress Audrey Hepburn was a hair, beauty and fashion icon.  Although she wasn’t the first celebrity to wear a French Twist hairstyle, superstar Audrey put her own personal touch on the French Twist hairstyle when she wore it in the hit movie Breakfast At Tiffany’s.

After Audrey showcased her hair twist it became and instant classic which has become a favorite of multiple generations of actresses who have followed her to the screen.

Besides a traditional Hollywood Glam hairstyle, I think it’s fair to say that a Audrey Hepburn French Twist hairstyle is one of the most classic updos that anyone can wear for any type of hairstyle event from a very formal wedding to a deconstructed French Twist worn to a more casual party or event.

When I was in cosmo school we had a series of updo contests.  I am proud to report that I won a contest combining the base of a traditional French Twist with a few curls gently pulled out from the sides and pinned around the outside.

Needless to say, I am a huge fan of this gorgeous hairstyle which can be modified appropriately to be worn by any type of face shape or hair length.  Clip in temporary extensions can be utilized for short or medium length hair in order to coif a twist.

Eva Mendes Channels Audrey Hepburn

Actress Eva Mendes recently rocked a series of Audrey Hepburnese Twists on Hollywood Red Carpets.

Like Audrey, Eva has beautiful soft chocolate brown tresses with a slight hint of caramel highlights carefully interwoven throughout her crown and around her hairline to add shimmer and softness to her gorgeous face.

Eva channelled Audrey Hepburn’s Breakfast At Tiffany’s French Twist at the Los Angeles Premiere of ‘The Spirit’ - on December 17, 2008 in an eye popping splashy canary yellow Bill Blass gown.

Eva’s hair twist billowed up from the back of her heavily backcombed crown and was tucked sleekly into the back her head on either side of her ears.  A few strands along the top were lightly finger picked to create a slightly messy look.

The Latin lovely’s hair was parted down the front with matching curtains of slightly tousled hair floating softly on either side of her gorgeous face.

Eva’s recent Audrey Hepburn hair turn worked spectacularly with her stunning strapless gown.  By wearing her below-the-shoulder length hair swept up off her shoulders, the gorgeous jeweled encrusted top of her Bill Blass gown was highlighted.

Actress Zooey Deschanel tries to be “unbearably clever” at least that’s what she told Jane Magazine in a September 2006 interview about her role in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.

The witty younger sister of Emily Deschanel of TV’s Bones told Jane that her fave snack foods were “carob chips, apples, pudding”.

As far as her fashion Zooey told Jane she is perpetually shopping for “the perfect pair of overall shorts” which have “eluded me since the fifth grade”.

Gosh, I just love Zooey in ‘Failure To Launch’ when she is driven to distraction by the mockingbird outside her window.  She is beyond hilarious.

I also loved her as the deadpan smartass in Elf where she played a blonde as well as demonstrating her singing talents during the course of the movie.

Zooey’s career is skyrocketing and she recently walked the Red Carpet with Jim Carrey in honor of her significant role in Yes Man.

Not only is the funny girl’s career rocking, her sense of style and beauty have continued to evolve since her Elf days when her medium length bobbed hair was a shade of over processed blonde.

Actress Camilla Belle (Routh) has been capturing lots of press buzz lately due to her supposedly (not confirmed) hot couplings with Twilight hunk Robert Pattinson and Joe Jonas who reportedly broke up with Taylor Swift in order to date Camilla.

The onetime model and budding “It Girl” has a sizzling acting and modeling career that includes being the “face” Vera Wang’s very popular Princess perfume as well as being admired for her dark beauty and thick “signature” eyebrows.

Recently Camilla has been creating even more buzz about her hair, make-up and fashion trends on the Red Carpet.

The December 22, 2008 issue of People Magazine showed a picture of Camilla in October of 2008  (same as the one pictured above to the left) wearing a 40s style red lipstick.

People Magazine interviewed her makeup artist Sammy Mourabit who revealed that “Belle’s dramatic - yet not overly shiny - red lipstick is as “modern way to recreate the 40s”.

Ironically, even though Camilla won lots of attention for her October 2008 red lips, she showed up at the Twilight Premiere on November 17th with pink lips and a completely different hairstyle.  Which indicates that Camilla is working hard to keep her look fresh and interesting. (more…)
