ELIZABETH TAYLOR

There was no tribute more fitting for the 50th anniversary viewing of Cleopatra — and to the film's stars, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton — than Jessica Chastain wearing one of Taylor's Bulgari necklaces at the Cannes premiere. It was a gift given to Taylor by Burton on her 40th birthday, in 1972. The sapphire-and-diamond sautoir (with a 65-carat centre stone) is part of an eight-piece collection that the jewellery house bought back from Taylor's 2011 Christie's auction, and these pieces have rarely been loaned to celebrities. "I feel so lucky to be wearing them. They looked so fabulous on her and she was a movie star from her head to her toes," said Chastain. "That kind of glamorous star doesn't exist anymore but their diamonds do." An all-angles look at the stunning Bulgari necklace, here in the gallery.

We usually see her on the red carpet sporting blue hair, crazy nails and lots of lashes, but Katy Perry's been given a retro makeover for the March issue of Interview magazine. With thick black brows and elaborate winged liner, her look harks back to a young Elizabeth Taylor. We're loving the beautiful, sexy and occasionally provocative images by Mikael Jansson. They show a different side to Katy — and we're about to hear a different side to her music too, with the "Part of Me" singer revealing to her interviewer, Kristin Wiig, that her music's about to get "dark" since her recent divorce from Russell Brand. What do you think of her latest look?

Sure, poodle perms, frosted shadows and brick red lipstick might look a little dated now, but they were the winged eyeliner of their day, so we need to give them the beauty props they deserve. Here's a gallery of 20 stars who stood out with their memorable makeup and hairstyles at the Oscars from way back when. Take a closer look at Natalie Wood and co. now.
