Captivating, dazzling … the epitome of style and grace. This is just a fragmented list of words that describe one of the most beloved icons and beauty trailblazers to rise through the ranks of Hollywood. I’m talking about none other than the splendidly beautiful actress Elizabeth Taylor, who passed away yesterday at the age of 79.
Time magazine got it right when they referred to the two-time Best Actress Academy Award winner as “a jewel of great price, a true star sapphire.”
When I think about Elizabeth Taylor, my mind drifts to thoughts of glamour, grace, style and class.
Far from a manufactured replica of beauty’s past, her unwavering dedication to embracing her beauty set the foundation for yesterday’s trends, today’s trends and those to come.
While many other actresses were willing to go blonde, Liz embraced her curly, brunette tresses and delivered hairstyles that women often emulated. Instead of covering her mole, or narrowing her lush eyebrows, she accentuated them… and let’s not mention those gorgeous violet eyes.
Liz raised the glam bar beyond anyone’s expectations as she was often seen dripping in diamonds with her hair perfectly placed and her full-pout covered in red come-hither lips. She was also a humanitarian with an equally beautiful desire to help others.
My memories of her will continue to be awe-inspired, as I strive to live my most happy fulfilled life, despite the ups and downs that life sometimes brings.
Liz summed up her life beautifully with these strengthening words:
“I’ve been through it all, baby, I’m mother courage.”
Let’s take a look at some of Liz’s most captivating beauty looks in film, as we reflect on her life as a Hollywood legend.
She was an authentic beauty and will truly be missed.
