Did Elizabeth Taylor Have Violet Eyes?

SLIDESHOW: Elizabeth Taylor Purple Eyes

  Yes

  

  I'll say yes, but I think it kind of depends-first off,what do you consider to be violet. To some it's a more bluish color,to some, more purplish. Also, your makeup & clothing, and the lighting too can affect how it looks. I've seen them look different colors depending on the photo as well-in any ads or older photos that were color enhanced, they often look really purple, yet not always. Some color-enhanced ones they look almost navy or even grey. And as far as the eyewitnesses-the mind sometimes sees what it wants to see,& if someone is a fan & wants to see violet, & it's kind of borderline,they're going to see violet. I'd be curious to her what people maybe said before it was a 'thing' that she had violet eyes. I don't think it was contacts though. Colored contacts weren't available during the time of many of those films & photos. Plus,colored contacts,I think people are forgetting, looked way faker years ago. Who knows what Hollywood had,but I know when I was a teen,if someone had colored contacts, it was extremely fake looking & obvious. But since it is possible, & she did have a double row of lashes, why not. However,I don't believe they were quite as purple as some of the photos, such as that ad the one person posted.

  They were probably very blue, but in her movies they don't appear violet. The film industry was perfectly capable of changing colors of pictures, and without a doubt enhanced her eyes.

  I saw her once, up close and personal, and the ladies eyes were violet. Dark, beautiful violet. She never wore contacts, she wore glasses when she got older. Also, there was no photoshop when she became a star, and her Violet eyes have been legiondary since the 1930's. So, yes her eyes were Violet and they were really that color, all natural.

  I collect Elizabeth's photos and have spoken with many people which met her in person. ....Everyone has confirmed to me what you say! Even the pics,not the horrible ones on the net but those bought from the photographers show blue-violet irises. Regards Dear

  Liz Taylor were Blue eyes, but in some lighting, with the shade of blue she had, gave off a violet color. So I saw Yes and No to Liz Taylors eyes, because they are both blue and violet.

  E.T. (lol) did have violet eyes. It was one of her traits that made her so famous. Like hazel eyes they do seem to change colors with lighting.
  
  FYI. Photoshop did NOT exist back then.

  Yes, her eyes were violet. People born with violet eyes are very rare. She also was born with a double set of eyelashes making her eyes lashes look thicker and longer. You could say she was a natural beauty.

  They are camillion eyes. They change color with the color of clothing she wore. Also when they looked purple I believe that they blood vessels in her eyes were just showing.

  I just wrote a comment but I think its lost. This shows her true eye unusual eye color for sure. Publishers didn't start using photoshop until around 1988 and I'm fairly certain this magazine shot would not have been played around with....

  The reason why the eye color looks different because 1. She's wearing contacts or 2. The light changes the color of the eyes.

  A person can have violet eyes when has blue eyes and are visible the RED vessels, mixed sometimes you see the violet shadows. This condition is pretty rare and of course in the low quality pics you could see only blue cause is the large majority, but wasn't a legend. Persons who met Elizabeth before contact lens assure her irises were very close to violet.

  Elizabeth Taylor was well known for her beauty. Her striking eyes were one of the most stunning things about her looks. What color were her lovely eyes? Were they really violet?
  
  In the wake of her death, many people want another look at Elizabeth Taylor's eyes. Film critic Todd McCarthy once wrote, "What should abruptly stop me in my tracks, but a pair of eyes unlike I've ever beheld, before or since; deep violet eyes of a sort withheld from ordinary mortals that were suddenly looking up into mine from mere inches away."
  
  Another film critic named David Stratton wrote, "I was ushered into her presence at the official reception and found myself transfixed by her famous violet eyes. I have never seen eyes of that color before or since, and I don't believe cinemagoers were able to appreciate how remarkable they were."
  
  According to written eyewitness accounts, Elizabeth Taylor really did have violet eyes which were framed by an amazing double row of eyelashes. These type of purple eyes are quite rare.

  No not quite violet because violet is like a deep purple color, but I would go as far as to say that they were a shade closer to violet than any other eye color and there is nothing that can be used to compare her eye color to. But I would say that they were not your typical blue color either. They were very unique and beautiful.
