The 1950s were an enormously influential decade for American style, and 1950s hairstyles shifted accordingly. Post-WWII, the US was rebuilding its economy and moving (haltingly and often painfully) towards social change. The dynamism and simultaneous retreat to more conservative times are both apparent in the era's styles, which veer wildly from rockabilly hair to pixie cuts and primly waved bobs. It was a time of great change and style to match, so check out some of the decade's most prominent highlights.

Here's an excerpt of a Bettie Page-inspired how-to done by OnSugar blog Fierce Beauty:
Wanted to share with you some photo shoot fab that I got my hands on. I am super excited about these images as I did both hair and makeup on this shoot. Photographer Nevin Jethmalani takes some awesome shots, (view his work here), and we make quite the team — if I do say so myself. The look was kind of a modern Bettie Page-meets-Grease II chic you, know? The look is pretty simple actually, all you need is a foundation that will offer flawless coverage, lips, and contour.

Best of 2008: Rest In Peace

This year, our condolences were not only extended to people, they were also given to businesses.

This year, our condolences were not only extended to people, they were also given to businesses. It was the gasp heard around the world when Yves Saint Laurent passed in June. Mr. Blackwell, the man known for his annual worst-dressed list, also left us, as did Pinup queen Bettie Page. But more shocking were the deaths of longstanding retail stores such as Mervyn's and Steve & Barry's. What's more, Bill Blass decided to close its doors and the great Valentino Gharavani retired. Let's pay homage.

RIP the Pinup Queen, Bettie Page Alas, another legend has passed. If you're a Dita von Teese fan, make sure to pay homage to the original pinup queen, Bettie Page. She lived to be 85 and passed away yesterday in LA. She broke the rules in the '50s. She had a hand in the exploration of female sexuality, creating a liberated character in risque lingerie and skimpy bikinis — not too mention taboo toys like whips and eye masks. Here's to you, Miss Bettie.
