N and Crow, thank you so much for the compliments. N, that pic priceless and I feel the same way about you and the thread-it wouldn't be fun without you.

When looking for a new look, you should look at mags and TV gals to check out their hairdos, etc., with similar facial outline to your excellent bone structure. See photos of famous movie stars of long ago -- they were knockouts. Look at pix of Ava Gardner, for instance. No matter what, her hair was always gorgeous and suited her fabulous bone structure!

Old Hollywood was in full effect on the runway at Temperly. The biggest influence was that of Hollywood Goddess Ava Gardner-echoes of her incomparable style and glamour could be seen in the nipped in waist and strong red lips worn by the models.

This fall, think of Old Hollywood glamour when it comes to looking like a femme fatale. Find your inspiration in the feline grace of Ava Gardner-was there ever a better femme fatale? If you can't relate to Ava, you can always look to her modern incarnation, Angelina Jolie. In order to mimic Ava's signature look, you will need strong brows, glowing skin and above all, a scarlet red mouth.

Ava Gardner's look is the epitome of classic glamour. To see how to recreate it for yourself at home, read more.

•Hair: Loads of soft curls were Ava's trademark style. Start with blow-dried hair, parted deeply to one side (follow the outside corner of your eye up to the hairline, and part back from there). Roll two-inch sections of hair under into medium-sized hot rollers, working from the front of your hair towards the back. Mist lightly with a medium-hold hair spray. Let rollers cool completely, then unravel carefully. For tight curls, don't brush; instead, fingercomb them to loosen slightly, then finish with one last spritz of hairspray.
•Eyes and brows: Ava's look features well-defined eyes and brows. With a soft black eyeliner, smudge a light line across the upper and lower lash lines. Rather than connecting the point at the outer corners of the eye, line the inner corners instead. This opens up the eyes and adds extra oomph. Ava was known for her long, feathery lashes, which are best recreated with falsies, or a super-defining mascara like Lancôme High Definicils. For brows, bold and natural is key. To get that unplucked look, check out this post.
•Lips: If you're a dark brunette like Ava, try a deep, fiery burgundy red lipstick like this Benefit Silky Finish Lipstick ($16) in Ruby Vibes. If your hair is lighter, go with a color with more pink or cherry undertones, such as that same Benefit lipstick in Nice Knickers.

Style icons continue to inform the Badgley Mischka aesthetic. For Resort 2009, Mark Badgley and James Mischka were inspired by Grace Kelly in To Catch a Thief and Ava Gardner in Mogambo. They channeled the elegance of Grace and Ava by offering up feminine silhouettes that could go from day to night.

Old Hollywood Glamour ruled at last night's Oscars, with the end result being that too many starlets tried to unsuccessfully channel Ava Gardner. Only Marion Cotillard pulled off the return to the Golden Age of Hollywood. It’s nice to revel in the past, but it’s 2008. I’d like to see someone channelling their own personalities, not Ava Gardner.
