To some degree, we make contact with many celebrities almost every day. We listen to their songs, watch their movies, or even keep track of the projects they’re working on. For some time, the entertainment industry has introduced us to many timeless and influential figures. Although they all have varying levels of success, it’s safe to say that many of them are loved by their respective fans.
Besides their usual line of work in acting or singing, these celebrities can often be seen attending red carpet events, wearing their best outfits. Over the years, several stars have amazed the paparazzi and their fans with eye-catching and trendsetting dresses. Thanks to photographs, several of these signature looks have become timeless pieces of history in the entertainment industry. As a result, some even became sources of inspiration for many of today’s celebrities walking under the bright spotlight.
For this article, we’ll be talking about a few iconic celebrities and their modern-day counterparts. With that said, they undoubtedly deserve some credit for managing to project a beauty reminiscent of the entertainment industry’s earlier years.
Josephine Baker And Rihanna
A significant figure in entertainment history, Josephine Baker was a world-famous celebrity before celebrities were even a thing. Throughout her life, Baker was a well-known entertainer and an even more famous advocate for equality. She would spend some of her investment money on adopting kids, each from different backgrounds and ethnicities, to prove to everyone that people can share their lives with others just fine.
Humanitarian efforts aside, Josephine Baker was also quite the fashionable celebrity – so much so that her style still echoes on today. Nowadays, many people recognize Rihanna for her many hit songs. However, like Baker, Rihanna is also very particular with what she wears for red carpet events – sometimes, the singer’s fashion sense is even reminiscent of late Hollywood celebrities.
Elizabeth Taylor And Angelina Jolie
Over the years, Hollywood has had its fair share of sweethearts. One such celebrity who carried that title was Elizabeth Taylor, most especially well-known for her role in the 1963 film Cleopatra. Thanks to her contributions to the film industry, Taylor eventually took credit as one of the greatest female screen legends of all time.
However, besides her endeavors for the big screen, Elizabeth Taylor was also quite the humanitarian. Among the many celebrities today, perhaps the one that most parallels Taylor’s career is none other than Angelina Jolie. In fact, we were so close to getting a remake of Cleopatra, with Jolie, just like Taylor, taking on the titular role. However, besides the original Tomb Raider actress saying she could never top Elizabeth Taylor’s performance, the film project has had a change of hands – current news has Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot taking on the titular role. Although this may be the case, one can’t deny the sophisticated beauty these two projected under Hollywood’s bright lights.
Katharine Hepburn And Tilda Swinton
Hollywood has had several actors grace its big screens. One such celebrity was Katharine Hepburn, who eventually became known as one of the greatest female stars in Classic Hollywood Cinema. An actress well-known for her role in films like Morning Glory, The African Queen, and On Golden Pond, Hepburn was – and still is – quite the iconic figure in cinema history.
In recent years, another actress quite reminiscent of Katharine Hepburn’s principles would be Tilda Swinton. Like the former, acting is arguably among the significant investments Swinton has made for her career. However, besides her outstanding performance in films, the actress also has another similar feat to Hepburn’s. For their preference in clothes, the two actresses surely know how to rock the androgynous look – Hepburn was an early pioneer of this fashion trend. Meanwhile, with a little help from the makeup department, Tilda Swinton could even make herself appear like a man – just look at her performance as Dr. Josef Klemperer in the film Suspiria.
