Elizabeth Taylor

  • Elizabeth Taylor
    Discovered when she was just a child, Elizabeth Taylor and her unparalleled beauty made an indelible mark in the movies and in the hearts of the many prominent men who loved her. She rarely strayed from her signature looks throughout her decades in the spotlight—it was all about framing that million-dollar face with short or pulled-back hair, bold makeup, opulent jewels and striking headpieces.

    Famous for marrying eight times, Elizabeth's first wedding dress epitomized the classic white bride for her nuptials to Conrad Nicky Hilton. Embroidered with seed pearls and beads, the dress was designed and made for her by MGM's Helen Rose (who also created Grace Kelly’s gown when she married Prince Rainer of Monaco).

    Elizabeth shone as a radiant newlywed and started to solidify her signature look: cropped, curly locks with a strong brow and bold lips. In a departure from her typical style, Elizabeth adopted a western motif with husband Nicky for a charity event at the Beverly Hills Hotel in 1951. But she still looks glamorous.

    The eyes are said to be the window to the soul, and they were Elizabeth’s signature feature. While this film still showcases her overall elegance — with her black gown, sparkling earrings and coiffed curls — we can’t help but be drawn in by her alluring eyes and the arched brows over them.

    Matching one’s lipstick to her gown may be a much-talked-about trend today, but we’re not surprised that Elizabeth was showing off this look in 1951 at the premiere party of the film Quo Vadis, in which she had a cameo role.
