Contemporary Elizabethan Hairstyles

I have done some research into contemporary Elizabethan hairstyles and two very famous people who have always been well know for their hair is Lady Gaga and Amy Winehouse.

I feel this image of Lady Gaga relates back to the Elizabethan era because of how her hair is all swept back off her face with frizzy bits around the front of her head. The height of the hairstyle also fits in with the Elizabethan era because it was extremely popular to have big hair. However Lady gaga has made it contemporary by having very long dreadlocks and colouring her hair bright white. Her hair is also very messy and untidy where as in the Elizabethan times their hair would be looking immaculate with every hair in place. Lady Gaga's pale make-up with red lips also relates back to the Elizabethan period as well as the ruff she is wearing.

Secondly there is Amy Winehouse who was always well known for her huge beehive hairstyle. The padding and the big thick hair made it look very much like the Elizabethan times, although it's amde contemporary as she still always kept her side fringe dangling down her face where as in the Elizabethan period all the hair would be swept right back off the face. Amy's hair also looked a lot more untidy and was never as neat as the Elizabethan's hair.
