So I have been doing some research into contemporary hairstyles that have used techniques or accessories which give them an Elizabethan look. Here are some of the images I found.
This first image here is of an extremely elegant special occasion or maybe even bridal like hairstyle. Although in this design there have been no curls or plats used, it was the pearls and net like overlay of hair which reminded me of some of the Elizabethan styles we discussed in class. In Elizabethan times pearls were thought to represent purity and wealth, in todays society although synthetic pearls are common in high street fashion jewelry, real pearls are not cheap to purchase, therefore I think they give this hairstyle a touch of class and elegance suitable for a special occasion, particulary suitable for a wedding.

This second image is a fantasic contemporary look with an Elizabethan twist. The hair raised in two sections on each side of the head is a common style found in many Elizabethan portraits and works well in this modern adaptation, the use of plats also give the style a destinctively Elizabethan feel.
