Want to party like it's 2012? Step into something from the 1950s. According to celebrities and fashion experts, this year's hottest look is about 60 years old.
"I think of great hair," Eva Longoria told The Associated Press, recalling the decade of "Grease" and Audrey Hepburn. "The great falls and the red lipstick, and definitely the full skirts. I think it's flirty. The '50s are flirty."
"I think of the iconic all-American girl with the small waist dresses, and 'Grease' with the little ribbons around their neck," Isabel Lucas told the AP. And even though it takes place in the early 60s, Kirsten Dunst links the trend to "Mad Men."
"Right now, 'Mad Men' is so popular," Dunst told the AP. "So, I feel like everyone wants to watch something pretty. Like I love how put together women were. There is an elegance and an art to that. It's exhausting too. But it looks beautiful when a women is put together like that."
We do love the ladylike look of a cinched waist and a longer skirt -- and it's definitely flattering on most of us. But should 2012 be about something NEW, rather than just recycling a decades-old style?

I love retro hair as well, and I can't wait to try this one out when my hair is long enough!
A lot of women are slender and have very small breasts. "Real women"...Do you mean *average* women? Plus, many slender women are hourglass-shaped.
This is the first time in at least a century that tall and slim women can enjoy their bodies and not be seen as lanky or masculine, but lithe and feminine. If there is going to be an idealization of a woman's body, then I don't see any reason why this shouldn't be it now.
Even in the fifties, there was an idealization of women's bodies in fashion. It was to be of medium height and curvaceous, with pointed, perky breasts. There weren't a lot of stores which sold clothes for women who varied greatly from this shape though.
However, there are a lot of stores that sell sizes that aren't considered ideal nowadays. There are several stores at my nearby mall, for instance, that completely omit extra small from their range of sizes.
My point is that there is nothing wrong with idealizing a natural body type, just as long as there is clothing available for women who don't fit this ideal.
