The Italian Beauty Rules According to Film: From Carla Bruni to Sophia Loren

italian movie stars

Fashion month finds us jetting to Milan today, home to some of the world’s most feminine, beautiful, and provocative women. If mirroring these Italians is your aim, we suggest queuing up a variety of films featuring a few exemplary bella donnas, as regional beauty rules are regularly demonstrated by the country’s favorite screen sirens. Those who don’t speak the language will find that enhancing their gazes with flicks, swipes, and layers of black liner helps to communicate what’s necessary in just a glance—a tactic favored by actresses Claudia Cardinale and Sophia Loren. Alternately, a plush, red-tinted lip à la Monica Bellucci or Isabella Rossellini will add an air of mystery to whatever you’re saying or not.

Curves should be embraced and accentuated—picture the hourglass frame of Swedish-Italian actress Anita Ekberg soaking up La Dolce Vita in the Trevi Fountain. As for hair, blondes like Monica Vitti and Virna Lisi tousled their flaxen bobs atop their heads, an incredibly achievable method of adding an element of glamour to the fair-haired set. Brunettes can opt to keep things natural in the vein of Stefania Sandrelli and Carla Bruni, who carry wispy, windswept looks with an ease that makes us want to come as we are. Here, our favorite Italian beauty trends as told by cinema.
