Hairstyle for Alice

One of the main characters is Alice. The twist in the film is that Alice died in the early 1950's, therefore her fashion should be slightly behind Rosie's (her friend) who was born before her. Therefore to create this we have looked into hairstyles that were mostly known and used in the 50's and we will be using them for our character Alice in our film opening.



Her honey blonde hair is slicked back and held tightly to the scalp as it is brought to the back of the head and secured into a ponytail and then formed into a neat bun. Her bangs are sectioned off and pulled to the side and with the help of strong hold hairspray, it stays in place. A pretty white ribbon is tied around the bun and a bow is created on top. Her red and black polka dot strapless dress and white pearls along with red earrings are a perfect way to celebrate a classic 1950's look. Her black eyeliner extends past the eyes for a flirtatious spark.

We used this research for our second main character in our film opening having a white ribbon in her hair at the back to add to the 1960's feel to our film.
