THIS season, celebrities and make-up artists have fallen head over heels in love with the 1940s. It is a classic look to give you an air of Hollywood glamour with one pout of your pillar box-red lippy.

Dita Von Teese's trademark look draws heavily on sexy 1940s styling with scarlet lips and glossy waves.

The burlesque artist is such an admirer of the decade, it was recently announced she is designing her own collection of vintage style lingerie.

Actress Kelly Brook is also a self-confessed fan of the decade, regularly drawing on it to style red-carpet looks. She says: "I look to the irrepressible Bettie Page when I want 1940s inspiration, because she exuded a happiness and self-confidence that's rare today."

To get the 1940s look, keep your face pale and interesting, with the emphasis on bold red lips.

Brows should be bold and hair wavy - and don't forget red nail varnish to complete the look.
