Keira Knightley's Hair in Atonement

[RitaHayworth]

Antonement has just been released down here in Australia - but I am loving Keira's hair in this!!

I have just had my hair cut shorter - and wonder if I can use velcro's overnight to get this sort of look:

This movie inspired me to cut my hair. :-D I had mid-back length, wavy hair and felt I needed a change, so when I saw Keira's haircut, I immediately made an appointment with my hairdresser.

I have naturally curly hair that has just been cut into shape and now resembles something of Keri Russell in season 3 felicity. but I think i can still get rollers into it. Might have to visit the hair product supply shop!

Did you ladies see her in Pride and Prejudice?

I know I'm a sentimental sap, but I watched that movie 3 times in 4 days.....

I fell in love with the dress in this scene. It's breath taking! If I ever go to a fancy Hollywood party, I am definitely going to find a dress similar to it.

You might have some trouble finding one like that but you could probably make one!

love KK's hair, it is just slightly shorter than my hair length right now, and I'm trying to figure out how to do it. Especially since it's time that I get just a little trim to keep my hair healthy.

The dress is also lovely, but I'd prefer it in a saphire blue colour... it would better highlight my eyes!

pretty hairdo

but still pretty sloppy compared to the real way women wore their hair back then. Movie hair always looks too darned clean. It shouldn't be so flyaway.

I thought her hair looked lovely in the film but it seemed a tad too long to me, particularly in the sequences during the war (the tea shop, etc). It seemed odd that they didn't really alter her style as time progressed in the film. But maybe that was a conscious choice since it was a story about memory?

Though I do love fingerwave hairstyles.

Cleanup

ok...I have now warned, and warned a second time to keep it on the hair.

Since seemingly you only read the other posters comments and not mine, theirs will now vanish in regards to anything but hair.

That movie inspired me to paint my nails with the moon showing. I love her hair in it, but I will agree it does seem a bit too messy. Loved the gown, as well. Very Harlow of her, don't you think?

Did anybody notice the robe in the scene where shes painting her nails? After I saw that movie I tried looking the bay for an (affordable) silk robe like hers, but alas, no luck

Sorry - didnt mean to start such a sensitive thread :eusa_doh:

Im hoping to see it shortly and get a look at some more looks! Im in love with the film just for its setting!

Was Keira's hair long in this movie? Is it all her hair? I know she had to cut it off after a certain movie because of all the processing it had for movie roles.

Another reason I love the movie Charlotte Gray!

I know in the scene in the green dress she is wearing a wig. Someone posted a newspaper article about it earlier, either here on in the livejournal vintagehair community.

ooh, are there any tricks for this?

Use those french manicure guide strips that you can buy anywhere. I just place them in the location there my moon is (or should be on some nails) and paint above. Make sure to let the paint dry completely, or when you pull off the strips some of the paint will come off too. Do about three gloss top coats to even out the texture when the color is done.

I had bookmarked this Daily Mail article a while back, and found I still had it, "Making Waves: Why Keira's 1940s Curls Are All the Rage This Autumn":

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/femail/article.html?in_article_id=479470&in_page_id=1879

After seeing the movie, I didn't think Keira's hair was exactly 1940s but the article discusses other 1940s hairstyles, too.

There is a whole thread on it under Vintage Manicures

Lots of good tips and tricks.

Sorry, Off the topic of hair!

The dress in Atonement is actually being called one of the greatest dresses in the history of film! It is desired by many and is being made for different price ranges and one can buy a close match, supposedly, for under three hundred on two online locations!

Interesting.
