Watch GlamAmor in TCM Podcast for November's "Battle of the Blondes"

November on Turner Classic Movies is going to be a real "Battle of the Blondes"...everyone from Marlene Dietrich to Brigitte Bardot will be featured in their film festival Mondays and Wednesdays throughout the month.  Tonight Marilyn Monroe kicks things off showing her sultrier side as a femme fatale in 1953's Niagara.  

As a quintessential blonde myself, I was invited by TCM to discuss the iconic style of these iconic blondes with host Scott McGee for this month's podcast.  Watch and then delve deeper into the discussion here on GlamAmor...all the women are already in the Cinema Style File , including the most recent addition of Doris Day in Pillow Talk.  You can also scroll through the Style Subject Archives in the sidebar to find all of your favorite films and stars.  

I promise much more on these exciting and exceptional women throughout November, so stay tuned for all the photo stories and videos coming on GlamAmor!

GlamAmor in TCM Podcast for November's "Battle of the Blondes"

November on Turner Classic Movies will be a real "Battle of the Blondes"...everyone from Marlene Dietrich to Brigitte Bardot will be featured on Mondays and Wednesdays throughout the month.  As a quintessential blonde myself, I have been invited by TCM to discuss the iconic style of these iconic blondes in their next podcast.  All the women above are already in the archives on GlamAmor (see sidebar) with the exception of Doris Day, who is actually next in line to be celebrated in the Cinema Style File.  I promise much more on these exciting and exceptional women throughout November, so stay tuned for all the photo stories and videos coming on GlamAmor.

In the meantime, you can take a look at my last podcast with TCM discussing MGM costume designer Helen Rose, who dressed many blondes in her day.  This included Grace Kelly in Mogambo and designing her real-life wedding dress when she officially became a princess.

Cinema Connection--Mod 1960s Parisian dress from GlamAmor

Whereas Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless is representative of early 1960s French style, the dress above is a great example of late 1960s French style. The label of this navy wool knit shift says it's from Paris, and you definitely feel extra ooh la la wearing it.  Very chic and lots of fun.  Julie Christie wears a shortsleeve version in 1965's Darling playing a model living it up in London and...you guessed it...Paris.

Cinema Style File--Julie Christie's Hair Inspiration

This month on Turner Classic Movies is their Summer Under the Stars, where each day is devoted to an individual actor or actress.  The other day was dedicated to the gorgeous and talented Julie Christie.  As movies like Darling, Doctor Zhivago, and Shampoo shone on my television screen, I was reminded just how luminescent Julie is on film.  There's simultaneously an innocence and intelligence about her that I admire.  And she still looks stunning today.  Absolutely ageless.

Julie's hair is beyond beautiful and has always been one of my favorite points of inspiration over the years.  That 1960s bedhead hair of hers--along with Brigitte Bardot's--never seems to go out of style and has continued to be a popular request in today's hair salons.  I know you'll understand why once you see some of her best looks here.  I think you'll be smitten, too.

Julie's hair is most often long and layered with volume at the crown and multi-functional bangs

Her updo...particularly prominent in Doctor Zhivago
