Blonde hair, huge black eyebrows. What is that about? Don't you look at something and see it as though it is the first time you've seen this? And then wonder what it is?
"A bushy brow renaissance" is an expression in a Vogue article on blonde hair, black eyebrows. And: "The distinct contrast of light and dark renders caterpillar-like arches even more expressive, providing a delicate face with a high-impact frame."
Did it start with Eva Peron or earlier than that? Evita the perennial musical made it even more popular and gave it persistence as various stars mimickws the startling look. And who stands out among them? Madonna is the notable one.
"To get the look of Perón, Madonna sported wigs, prosthetic teeth, and contacts to get her character's look just right. When doing press for "Evita," Madonna channeled Perón's demure late '40s and early '50s looks. She attended the film's Los Angeles premiere wearing a red floral hat with a veil designed by Givenchy. Madonna's throwback glamor was so marketable that her looks in the film inspired retailers to jump on the glamor bandwagon. Bloomingdale's opened "Evita" boutiques and Estée Lauder sold "The Face of Evita" makeup pallets."
Along the way, I saw this article on Madonna and her many "looks" as she matured and aged - she's now 68. Here's another "for the first time" experience: What a shocking set of images - to see them one after the other - HERE - the Evolution of Madonna's face. Remember the recent obituary of the woman who had the most facial surgery? That's what one of the last picturea of Madonna looks like.
And the final picture returns to something almost acceptable with her at the Met Gala where she's in a shiny white men's suit with her boyfriend, Akeem Morris, who is 29 .
And it all starts with blonde hair and bushy black eyebrows.
