What was with that hairstyle?


I am a big fan of Audrey Hepburn and have enjoyed the majority of her movies. However, her hairstyle in Love in the Afternoon was very distracting. Was this a popular hairstyle in the 1950's. It reminded me too much of Princes Leia from Star Wars.

Sorry just found this board...The hair cut was very popular but the puffy sides not so much. I've read in old movie magazines that they brought in 4 different hairdressers for her and because of the cut they really couldn't do anything with it. The "French Twist" was also very popular at the time (still is in some circles) but the pigtails were styled to make it understood she was VERY YOUNG.

I thought the poofs were very ugly myself, but I like the other style-not the pigtails...





No offense intended...I've an opinion like everyone else

I found it weird they kept trying to make her appear younger when he was so old..kind of odd. Enjoyable movie, though.
