Male film stars have not changed quite so dramatically through the years. Dita Von Teese, still goes for the all out glamor look at all times and the'big movie star look' comes out in full on the red carpet or for award evenings. Many are stick thin and prefer not to wear too much makeup and have hairstyles that everyone can manage, although there are the exceptions.

During the late fifties, things did relax a bit and whilst actresses such as Honor Blackman, Natalie Wood and Joan Collins were not allowed to be seen without a full face of makeup, they were allowed to wear jeans and jumpers when they weren't working. Accomplishing the shape of this era, the hour glass curve, could not have been easy but movie stars like Grace Kelly and Lauren Bacall managed to make it look that way so that women would not go out without their girdles, to ensure a small waist and petticoats to make their skirts seem fuller. Marilyn Munroe with her platinum blonde hair or Rita Hayworth made being a redhead very popular.
During the Golden Age of Movies, from the thirties to the fifties, all out glamor was the trend, and every woman who went to the cinema wanted to look like her favourite movie star.
