The glamour of Hollywoodland

Today the thriller and corruption filled movie Hollywoodland is released on DVD. Hollywoodland is based on the true story of Hollywood's most notorious unsolved mystery, the mysterious death of TV Superman actor George Reeves. Hollywoodland follows private investigator Lois Simo as he tries to piece together the last days of actor in hopes to find out what exactly happened, despite the fact that the police and studio heads want the case closed as a suicide.

Hollywoodland is a story of glamour, scandal, and corruption in 1950s Hollywood. Therefore, the fashion and style plays a huge hand in taking the veiwers back to that time. It also made me want reflect in how the look of 1950s Hollywood is once again being seen in magazines and on red carpets thanks to some of the current crop of today's Hollywood celebrities.

The glitz and glamour of 1950s Hollywood has recently been revitalized by many of today's Hollywood singers and startlets, such as Cate Blanchett, Scarlet Johanssen, and Christina Aguilera who have made the style of old Hollywood new again.

From the dazzling diamond jewelry to the long flowing gowns, the red carpets in this year's award season are overflowing with the style and grace of 1950s Hollywood.

One way that old Hollywood has lurked back into closets is via the faboulous dresses that reflect the era. A lot of gown designers have embraced the structure and fabrics that helped make that time one of the greatest staples in fashion history. Despite the resurgent of old hollywood-esque dress on the runways, some celebs opt to go vinatge. Actresses Chloe Sevigney and Annette Bening chose to wear vintage dresses to this year's Golden Globes ceremony. Even Renee Zelleweger wore vintage Chanel to the same ceremony.

Another way to take on the look of the 1950s hollywood is with the help of make-up and hair choices. One celeb who has taken this trend and sprinted with it is  Christina Aguilera. Although she does dress the era, her make-up and hair shows more of the reflection.

Christina is mostly seen wearing vibrant red lipstick on any occasion, be it to just go to the store or on stage of her current world tour.

Red was the lipstick color of choice back then, especially against a pale skin tone and subtle shadow heavily lined in black liner and multiple coats of mascara. Fortunately, since red lipstick is  currently one  of the hottest make-up trends, everyone can obtain the correct shade for their complextion. Topped with a head full of large soft curls, you too can have the same look.

While watching Hollywoodland, you can't help but to gawk at the style, grace and glamour that captured in every scene and see why its has resurged in fashion. It also doesn't hurt that the movie is really incredible and captivating! I've watched it twice this weekend, already! You should see it for yourself. Fierce fashion and a great story; what is there to want in a movie!
