Actress Winona Ryder has been out of the spotlight for a while, but judging by this photo shoot, she may be ready to get back onto the merry-go-round that is Tinseltown.

Photographed by [well-known fashion lensman Steven Meisel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles), the actress is captured in a series of lovely shots where Ryder’s choice of wardrobe recalls the glamorous and seductive movie sirens of the 1940’s such as Lauren Bacall, Judy Garland and Ingrid Bergman.

**Implications** - It's shoots like this that help an actress who has been out of the spotlight like Winona Ryder. Once one of [Hollywood's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/persol) major 'it' girls, legal troubles and a lack of juicy roles have relegated her to the periphery of the entertainment world. This Steven Meisel helps bring her back.
