Modern-day actresses or previous beauty sirens

Women would rather emulate the modern look of stars such as Jennifer Aniston and Kate Winslet than the old Hollywood glamour of Marilyn Monroe, according to a study.

Monroe had long been considered the benchmark of glamour, but she has been superseded by the girl next door  look.

Hollywood beauties such as Winslet, Aniston, Cameron Diaz and Rachel McAdams beat the classical looks of Elizabeth Taylor and Monroe in a poll  by Venus Embrace.

According to the survey, women find it easier to copy the look of modern actresses rather than old beauties of 60's, 70's and 80's.

Dark vs Colour

DARK

Dark hues elongate the body, esp the legs. Pair black or dark denim jeans with heels to add height. An all black outfit can easily be transformed from day to night. Black and navy work well as the base for an outfit, then you can add accessories around that.

COLOUR

Wearing dark tones head to toe can make you look like you're going to a funeral. There are different tones of black and navy, so pairing faded textures can look mismatched. Black and navy can be high maintenance beacause they're magnets for peices of thread and fluff.

Get the look: Scarlett Johansson


Sultry actress, Scarlett Johansson turned several heads the other night at the Moet & Chandon 'Tribute to Cinema' event in Tokyo with her dramatic sideswept, short textured bob created by celebrity hairdresser David Babaii.

Here, David spills his secrets on how to recreate Scarlett's look just for you.

After towel-drying your locks, apply David Babaii for Wildaid Hair Polish to your damp hair. Loosely twirl large sections of hair and spray with Bohemian Beach Spray, while finishing the drying process.

When your tresses are completely dry, use your fingers as a comb to gently loosen the twirled sections. Dab a little Molding Paste on the tips of your fingers and continue to sweep hair to one side as to not disturb the texture and cup the locks under. This gives the illusion of shorter hair while the paste will condition your ends. Secure the style with bobby pins and sprtiz a little Mise en Pils Light Styling Spray for a soft long lasting hold.

The Dvid Babaii for WildAid range is now available in Australia from GNC, Priceline, Price Attack, leading pharmacies, health food stores and selected hair salons.

Get the look: Christina Aguilera





Christina Aguilera stepped out with the fellow presenter Cher at the 67th Golden Globe Awards in a stunning strapless Versace creation. Soft dewy skin and light rose lips completed her look.

Nars Cosmetics worked with celebrity make-up artist Kristofer Buckle to create both Christina and Juliana Margulies' glowing red carpet looks.

''I wanted to create a soft natural look on Christina, something that wouldn't fight with her gown. The final look is chic and seamless, with an earthy coloured smokey eye and glowing skin, '' said Kristofer.

Jennifer Aniston sits on rocks for new fragrance

Jennifer Aniston has launched a new fragrance, ''Lolavie'' - which we suspect is going to give the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker a run for their female fanbase money.

The name Lolavie, which roughly translates from French as ''laughing at life,'' was chosen by Jen herself who says, '' the long story behind it is and honesty it is too personal to tell.''

As for sitting on those rocks? It's just part of the creative journey Jen has been heavily involved in over the last year and a half.

''It wasn't just about showing up for a shoot and putting my name on a bottle,'' she said.

''I felt like a little chemist. It's turned out to be an extension of myself as opposed to slapping my name on something.''

After conquering the fragrance world, Jen announced she plans to start directing.

The Twilight Star- R-Patz's Nirvana

Robert Pattinson has landed his dream film role -playing Kurt Cobain in a Hollywood biopic.

The Twilight Star has always thought of himself as a musician rather than an actor and has even said his guitar is his best friend.

So playing the tragic Nirvana genius who shot himself in 1994, is perfect for the pin-up.

R-Patz has been in regular contact with Cobain's widow, Courtney Love, who's been handed a key prodiction role by Universal Pictures bosses.

The Hole singer reportedly wants Scarlett Johansson to portray her in the movie.

Jennifer Aniston & Her Tight Skin

Jennifer Aniston has a seriously smooth visage at age 41 and the ex- Friends star got frank about how she keeps up her youthful image.

'' Look I eat really well and I work out, but I also indulge when I want to,'' she told Harper's Bazaar.

'' I don't starve myself in an extremist way. You're not taking away my coffee or my dairy or my glass of wine because I'd b devastated. My advice just stop eating junk every day. ''
