Rene Russo with Classy Chic Half Updo in The Thomas Crown Affair
This classy 90s hairstyle was very popular at the turn of the century. In fact, it became an instant classic and was one of the most copied celebrity hairdos in many years.
Jennifer Aniston took home the honor of best casual haircut with The Rachel, whereas Rene Russo was the unofficial winner in the category of best formal hairstyle of the 1990s. There just wasn't much buzz over any other formal hair design besides this one.
Rene had red hair in the remake of 1968 movie by the same title starring Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway.
The former fashion model and Vogue cover girl was the insurance investigator tracking down a "posh crook," art dealer Thomas Crown, played by Pierce Brosnan.
The scene for the top pictures here is from a romantic evening of dinner and dancing.
The beauty of the hair design is a modern twist on the classic French Twist hairstyle. It's a gorgeous updo made romantic with extra softness from a loose fringe.
The down hairstyle is from a scene where the two are dancing. Rene has let her hair down and added some flirty flips.
It's another wonderful fun medium hairdo with lots of casual style for the semi-formal scene.
Movie: 1999
