Channeling old Hollywood, Lindsay Lohan-style
By Stephanie Lysaght and Deborah Netburn, Los Angeles Times Staff Writers
In Hollywood, where fashions change faster than you can say padlocked Chloe bag, theres only one sure-fire way to stay ahead of the curve: move backwards. By channeling old-Hollywood glamour, style-savvy starlets ensure that theyre never caught with a look thats out. And although bullet bras and finger waves can be labor-intensive, its a small price to pay to stay off the worst-dressed list.

Christina Aguilera takes her style Back to Basics
When Christina Aguilera released Back to Basics in 2006, she was trying to capture a lost sound in music; a jazzy, vintage flair. Around that time, Aguilera also did a full overhaul of her look, trading in her black extensions for a platinum bouffant. Even at her most pregnant, expectant mother Aguilera never compromised her new look, stepping out with sky-high stilettos and a cherry-red kisser. (Frank Micelotta / Getty Images)
The beehive is back!
Amy Winehouses old-school and soulful jazz stylings on her albums Frank and Back to Black helped made her become a multi-Grammy Award-winning artist. To match the old-timey feel of her songs, she frequently dons a 1960s-era super-high beehive and almost always sports dramatic liquid black eyeliner. But as the paparazzis extremely unflattering photos of the singer prove, old-fashioned doesnt always add up to classy. (Peter Macdiarmid / Getty Images)
