Movie Hair That Shaped Me

By: Gabriela Yareliz

I read a fun post on the Man Repeller blog called “Girls on Film: Movie Hair that Shapped Us”. (Written by Meredith Fineman).

I thought it would be fun to post some of my own hair inspirations throughout the years. As women, we really pay attention to movie hair and fashion. We are always looking out for inspiration.

1] Mary-Kate and Ashley in Winning London: mid-length layered inspiration. Simple but edgy.

2] Mandy Moore in How to Deal and Chasing Liberty: She was the perfect rebel. When they said, “Don’t cut it.” She said, “Cut it.”
She was always changing her hair, which I loved.

3] Anne Hathaway in The Devil Wears Prada: Bangs can change your life. Chic.

4] Sonam Kapoor in Aisha: Hair for miles.

5] Juliette Binoche in Chocolat: Big volume and curls. She was bewitching and so was her hair.

6] Penelope Cruz in Volver: mid-length, black and wavy. Her hair didn’t overpower her, and more attention was brought to her face, especially her amazing eyes.

7] Priyanka Chopra in Anjaana Anjaani: Another mid-length cut I imitated. Priyanka looks like anyone else with her long hair, but when she cut her hair into a bob and into this style as she grew it out after Pyaar Impossible, she stood out, and she let her beautiful features steal the show.

8] Marion Cotillard in Inception: Lovely. Marion Cotillard, queen of the wavy bob.
