N, so glad you like the pic! The pic you posted above is FLAWLESS!
Glamourous excess
Jet-black hair has become one of the prevailing trends this season. But raven-haired beauties are nothing new. This started long ago. Think for instance, Ava Gardner. Her sensual gorgeousness was of the dangerous variety. Ava loved Christian Dior’s designs and Ferragamo shoes. The House Of Creed commissioned a perfume especially for her: Fleurs De The Rose Bulgari. Ava was the goddess supreme.

The classics are always a good place to research style, and that's why Ava Gardner, a movie star from the 1940s through to the 1980s, makes an appearance at the end of our gallery's middle row. Ava Gardner has all the elements of beauty sorted out. She wears a curly hair style long, loose and down. The hair style suits her face, and it would suit the fashion of any decade. It would light up anybody's prom night, too. It's a classic. It can't date and it won't go out of style.
Sure, you might not pick the same gown. But think about what that gown shares with Ava's curly prom hair style - simplicity. It shows her off, it doesn't overwhelm her.

Vivienne Leigh, Ava Gardner, Ingrid Bergmann and Rita Hayworth all conjour images of wonderful 1940s glamour.Style icons like Rita Hayworth, Vivien Leigh, Ingrid Bergman, and Ava Gardner indeed helped 40s fashion flourish and sew itself into the fashion timeline. Ava Gardner in particular has a special place in 40s glamour. She went from naive, young starlet at the start of the decade to a full fledged glamour puss who could hold her own in a slinky black gown, red lipstick and martini by decade's end.

The Independent
For a few years, she was hailed as the most beautiful woman in the world. This was in the early 1950s, when that title - like heavyweight champion of the world - still meant something. And that comparison is not the worst way to consider Miss Gardner. Just as a generation of boxers practised their slugger's crouch and their mean-as-nails expression (until Muhammad Ali destroyed the game with irony), so Ava Gardner was one of the last of a generation told to get their hair in a state of elegant collapse, double the lipstick, breathe in until the decolletage was bursting and look at the camera with an attitude that said, "Don't you just wish you could have me, or be me?"

The Animal Lily is named after the actress Ava Gardner. MGM promoted her as "The World's Most Beautiful Animal" and the purple and subtle greens growl with the dark mystery of a panther in the shadows. Green-eyed brunette Ava Gardner was the essence of female Americana. Born on a tobacco farm, where she got her lifelong love of earthy language and going barefoot, Ava grew up in the rural South. A tough broad Ava once said, "I don't mind growing old. If I have to go before my time, this is how I'll go-- cigarette in one hand, glass of scotch in the other."
Swarovski © crystals are strategically placed on the petals. This clip measures 7" at its widest. A pin can also be added upon request.

Above all, no matter what your length or style, when it comes to great-looking hair it's all about shine and bounce. For medium-length cuts, try a few rollers to add lift, body and some mild curl. Ava Gardner had the quintessential glamour-girl look with mid-length hair. If you have short hair, you can still channel Ava's glamour-just make sure it is shiny and well conditioned.

I have just finished an Ava marathon to catch up with a month and a half worth of astonishingly beautiful pictures.
I can't thank you enough Scriptgirl and nmyngan for the amazing job you two are doing in order to make this thread the one-stop place for all things Ava.
