Posh went back to basics with a headline grabbing gamine crop. Christened the ‘Pop\' it allowed her to invent a new signature style, that of urban urchin with unlimited income.

Marion\'s groomed and glamorous 1940s waves, side parting and rich brunette tones oozed ooh-la-la and defined the vintage Hollywood tress code for the year\'s red carpet events.

Hero - Megan Fox
