The first image shown above is a still taken from the 2007 film 'Elizabeth: The Golden Age'. Jenny Shircore, the hair designer, decided to heavily base her interpretation of Elizabeth's hair on portraits of her. The heart-shaped hair is widely known as a trend set by Queen Elizabeth I. In this modern interpretation, a large metal adornment is incorporated to resemble a crown and is an interesting modern technique. It also seems that the tecnique of frizzing is used around the hairline to emphasis it further. Shircore's design is a striking and polished one that will be good to use as an influence for a neat and more obvious design for a New Elizabethan.
Jill Elaina Haley is an American-based wig technician and makeup artist. The second image shows her Elizabethan Era project where she created the elaborate wig including tight curls, frizz and adornments. Jill blocked out her hairline to create a historically accurate interpretation of Queen Elizabeth's famous hairstyle. It is an interesting and precise look that will be a useful inspiration for creating a new look as it contains modern techniques to create a historical hairdo. Also, the half-up half-down style is an engaging idea as this is very popular in recent years and incorporating that into a New Elizabethan style will show this contemporary idea.
The final contemporary look demonstrated in the imagery above was found on Pinterest. I have included this design in my research as I admire the way the heart-shape style is subtley included underneath curls instead of frizz. This idea may be one to take into account when styling my New Elizabethan design to make the idea more contemporary.
