Jennifer Morrison in Hot Short 1940s Formal Hairdo on Red Carpet

Classy retro hairstyling doesn't get much better than this. Jennifer has the popular 1940s sidepart you hardly ever see today; the big soft wave that stays off the forehead; and lots of big curls.

Jennifer's formal hairstyle looks good and fancy from the front, but it is also sexy seen from the back, too. It is like a chignon but bigger and more playful than average.

The silver or light gray one-shoulder gown also looks vintage and gorgeous, too. You have to love the dress fabric and the way it flirts with light.

Although most teen girls aren't daring enough to stray from modern prom looks, if your prom planning has you thinking old Hollywood glamour, or standing out from the crowd, the Jennifer Morrison style could be a suitable guide for a night of sweet old-fashioned fun.
