We Imagined How 17 Old Hollywood Stars Would Look If They Were Our Contemporaries

Curiosities
2 years ago

Movies filmed during the Golden Age of Hollywood have their own special magic and charm. Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor, Rita Hayworth and other stars of that epoch look at us from black-and-white film frames, their hair curled in sleek continuous lines, their eyelashes covered with thick layers of mascara, and their eyebrows super thin. Times have changed, and the stars of modern movie hits look completely different.

With the help of our designers, we at Bright Side tried to imagine how 17 actresses from the Golden Age of Hollywood would look if they lived and starred in movies now, and here’s what we came up with.

None of these women needed any changes they were all quite lovely and were dressed and made-up as they should in those years...they are quite lovely as they were..changing their styles and make-up was not an improvement...

I guess just lengthening their wavy hair wasn’t extreme enough. Would have been lovely!

They were all perfectly beautiful the way they were. Not everyone needs to look like modern reality "celebrities."

These women were already beautiful and I really like the Old Hollywood Style. The straight hair was very unflattering on most of them and it took away fr their beauty.
