On the January cover of Harper’s Bazaar, screen siren Kate Hudson appears as a sexy, yet glamorous rocker girl. However, inside we’re treated to photos of Hudson taken back in time as she models classic chic from Hollywood days gone by.
Vintage head pieces, short bouncy curled hair and romantic gowns make Kate Hudson radiate with classic elegance and beauty in Harper’s Bazaar in every decade represented. She’s transformed from ‘70s-style glam picnic attire to a glam flapper girl from the ‘20s. Her gown worn in picture number five reminds me of Ginger’s dress from ‘Gilligan’s Island.’
We’ve seen quite a few retro-Hollywood-inspired photos and fashions used in magazines over the past year--and I’m going to make a prediction that we’ll probably see more of this in 2009.
