And today I'm doing a trial run of all the most iconic looks from the fifties.

Adverbs of degree

Basically, I've never really had style, and I don't really connect with people my age are wearing today.

So I brought in Rice he here to see if she could help me find any inspiration from the 19 fifties.

So you are a fashion historian who has lectured internationally.

You've worked on exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Our and Done Costume was holding for a bunch of film and TV shows, and today you get to work with me.

I am really excited to share five iconic looks for my favorite time period with you and each one you'll get to try on and fully experience.

The new look theme New Look was created by Christian Dior in 1947 but ended up defining the recognizable styles of the 19 fifties.

This high fashion look ushered in the golden age of couture and was a turning point in fashion history.

So this look is all about the undergarments to create that iconic 19 fifties silhouette.

So we're going to give you a waist slimming boost E a and a very full petty coat to create the shape.

Next, we're going to give you this fit and flare dress with a very voluminous skirt to go over that petticoat.

Then we're going to d'oh Ah, very tailored jacket.

And it will really accentuate that wasp boys.

I am known for my wasp waist final touch.

We're going to top it off with a hat like a Frisbee.

I brought my friend Destiny, who's a professional vintage hairstylist and makeup artists to really complete the look.

So we'll start with hair because the head is such a feature.

We want the hair to be sleek and pulled back in a French twist.

We're going to try to recreate the iconic January 1950 cover of Vogue.

The eyebrows will be darkened high and arched, for the eyes will have a bold winged liner and a hint of green eye shadow.

And finally, a deep, full red lip for that sultry editorial.

It's kind of a fight for attention between the lips and the eyes because they're both very colorful and bold.

And the eyebrows okay, I didn't know that I could have such nice eyebrows.

The gloves are the most elegant part of this.

I kind of just want to keep them around my face and do various vote poses with them.

I kind of feel like a Kardashian, but from a different time period, I think to test this.

I gotta go outside, make fashion happens strut my stuff by Manhattan's Hudson River.

My first reaction is that I wish they had better winter jackets and coats in the 19 fifties because it is gold outside.

Given that the makeup is so bold, I also felt bold.

Andi think it all goes back to these like crazy dark brows and this, like bright lipstick let him wear.

And now for something totally different, we're going to try the collegiate look.

The teenagers were first recognised as their own distinct social group.

Youth culture was on the rise in music, dance and, of course, fashion.

First we have a schoolgirl stable, the crisp, white short sleeve shirt that'll be paired with a pleated plaid skirt, which happens to be reversible.

Then we'll add a coordinating and gore sweater draped over your shoulders and fastened with a sweater clip.

And finally, saddle shoes were ubiquitous amongst Children and teenagers, and they were almost always worn with white bobby socks.

So this is the first time that beauty products were being marketed to teenagers, and they wanted a look that was really bright and youthful.

So the hair Stylist one we all know the pony tail, the dangling curls are gonna be soft and fluffy.

And then we're going to give you curly bangs right in front for makeup.

Thank rosy cheeks, lightly shadowed lids and a soft pink lip.

Think a very young Audrey Hepburn for the finishing touch.

Wow, this is not what I looked like in high school, so I look like I just stepped out of the biggest prom committee meeting ever.

I'm a big fan of the shape, and I feel very studious.

Wearing them the ponytail makes me feel like I am 15 years old, but I guess that's appropriate for high school.

The light pink cheeks make my face look really Rosie, which I like, but it is a little bit much, so I'd probably tone it down if I was gonna wear it today.

However, I usually wear them with my arms in them as they were supposed to be worn.

Right now, it kind of feels like a weird Cape thing now what teenagers do.

In the 19 fifties, they went to Sok Cops.

I am here with professional swing dancer Gabby Cook, who's gonna show me how to get down like it's 1955.

Let's try that again and let's adjust instead of taking like a big step like that.

Just keep practising things like that, and he will be ready to go to a sock hop.

I will not be changing careers anytime soon to become a swing dancer, but I will say this skirt looked really fun when I was twirling and my bang stayed in place.

May favorite thing is definitely the shirt.

I have a 1,000,000 shirts that look like this, and I like how it's buttoned all the way to the top.

My least favorite part about this look has gotta be the bags in the hair.

I look a little bit too young, and I don't think I would look normal wearing this in 2019.

Next thing I have for you is the overnight look.

Mid century sleepwear was a fashion in and of itself.

The dressy ladies of the 19 fifties wouldn't be caught dead in an oversized T shirt and boxer shorts.

What's more, it was prime time for your beauty regime because your beauty sleep was essential.

Nightgowns and robes were often purchased is matching pen noir sets from department stores or mail order catalogs, and like this one, they were often made of lightweight synthetics.

People are going to sleep in this Yes, no boxers and T shirt.

Probably the most important aspect of the overnight look is the next day's hair prep.

A set using rollers or pin curls was essential to executing any 19 fifties hairstyle, and a woman would either set her own hair overnight or visit a salon once a week to have it set by a stylist.

We're going to have destiny do a pin curl set for you.

Inspired by a setting patterns from the April 1955 issue of Glamour, we're going to take small sections of hair and spray each one with a diluted setting lotion before wrapping it around your finger and pinning the curl into place.
