Gloria Vanderbilt's Ladylike '50s Style

Gloria Vanderbilt was constantly reinventing herself. She was an heiress, an artist, an actress, a model (first appearing in Harper's Bazaar at age 15), an iconic blue jeans designer and a New York City socialite -- the list goes on and on. While Anderson Cooper's mom is most recognized for her contributions to denim, we love her classic elegant '50s style in the photo below.

An icon of feminine fashion, the brunette beauty wore a form-fitting floral dress and gigantic pearls. But what really caught our eye was how her bold brows complemented her firm hairstyle, a look that can be re-created with hot rollers and an unyielding holding spray. Would you give this look a try?
