While wedding dresses in movies can be as iconic as the actresses who wear them, we contend that it’s not only the gown but also the hair that truly makes the look of our favorite brides on film.
In How to Marry a Millionaire, Lauren Bacall’s cunning Schatze Page character shares her calling card mane, a side-parted, glossy, polished chop that translates from everyday life to multiple walks down the aisle. On-screen aristocratic unions rely on the allure of heightened—at times, literally—hair to embody the drama and glamour of nobility: Barry Lyndon’s well-born bride takes volume to another level entirely, while in Marie Antoinette, Kirsten Dunst’s transformation to the Dauphine of France (which can be easily traced through her hairstyles) begins with an angelic weaving of braids and bows.
Understated styles represent a certain brand of naïveté in both The Graduate and Kill Bill, but in Honeymoon in Vegas, Sarah Jessica Parker’s exuberant, over-the-top updo manages to keep stride with Nicolas Cage’s Elvis-inspired look—signifying the ultimate true love match. And who says twinning hair is a new concept? Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe paved the way for future BFFs in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, embracing a double wedding in similarly styled coifs. Above, our favorite on-screen wedding hair of all time.
