Someone really had to do awful work to make Marilyn look so bad.
What 16 Old Hollywood Stars Would Look Like If They Were Alive Today
Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Ava Gardner, Grace Kelly, and other actresses from the Golden Age of Hollywood left an imprint on our hearts with their talent and unbelievable beauty. Fashion and beauty trends change fast, and the way modern celebrities look differs from what we see in good old movies. And it’s so exciting to see what classic Hollywood beauties would look like if they were in their prime today.
With the help of our designers, we at Bright Side imagined what 16 stars of old Hollywood would look like if the peak of their fame happened today, and here’s what we came up with.
Ava Gardner


Ingrid Bergman


Rita Hayworth


Audrey Hepburn


Judy Garland

Do you think we managed to create “modern” looks for our favorite actresses? Which of these transformations seem the most convincing to you, and why?
Comments
man you only changed their hairstyle
I think Sophia Loren might object to being included in this.... she is very much alive.
Awfull
they all look the same except they have longer hair. none of these are realistic
Does nearly every modern woman have long goth hair (cf. Shirley Temple, lol), blusher, George Harrison eyebrows and lipstick applied outside the liplines? And what did you do with Grace Kelly's nose? - it doesn't even look like her anymore! As do some of the others - Vivien Leigh looks like Martin Landau in drag!
