We Imagined What 20th-Century Style Icons Would Look Like Today, and the Results Are Curious

Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, and Jacqueline Kennedy have beautifully natural styles and many women try to emulate that. They’ve stood the test of time as 20th-century style icons with impeccable taste. Today, most models and actresses follow their example of beauty but still, modern standards are quite far from ones of the past, even if they resemble them just a little bit.
Being inspired by the fashion world, Bright Side asked Photoshop masters for help and tried to imagine how the beauty queens of the past century would look if the peak of their fame was in the 2000s and 2010s.

These famous beauties started to look up-to-date but still, they preserved their elegance and stayed as unique as they always were. Do you agree with us? Whose image would you show differently? Please tell us about it in the comments!
