Dreamgirls will Spark a Comeback of a 60’s Hair Style

Jennifer Hudson, who was rejected in 2004 on American Idol is now WOW-ing them all. Not only does she prove to have an electrifying and soulful voice, but rises to the occasion of nailing her role as the defiant diva, Effie Melody White, in the upcoming movie, Dreamgirls. Simon Cowell, of American Idol told Hudson, “you’re out of your league,” on national television back in 2004. If I want to recognize any redeeming factor in his comment, it’s that Jennifer resolved that he made her want to prove him wrong.

“created over 50 wig hair styles for this movie”

You go girl! Jennifer, just this week was named best supporting actress for the New York Film Critics Online Awards. Not bad for her very first movie. Not only that, but she also won the breakthrough performer award. She is also the runner up for best supporting actress for the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards. American Film Institute just voted Dreamgirls as one of the top 10 movies of 2006.

I can’t wait to see this movie with all its glitz, glamour and music entertainment. Beyonce Knowles, Jennifer Hudson and Tony Award winner Anika Noni-Rose are the Dreamgirls, who are a trio of soul singers, inspired by The Supremes. Jamie Foxx, with his exceptional voice, Eddie Murphy and Danny Glover are all phenomenal actors who are sure to make this an Academy Awards favorite.

Celebrity hair stylist, Kim Kimble, created over 50 wig hair styles for this movie. She needed to follow the girls from their teen years in ponytails and bangs, to arrow cuts, (now called inverted bob’s) to glammed-out bouffant hair style. The hair styles of the 60’s and early 70’s are seen once again in their full glory. It’s my prediction that this movie will spark a return of at least one hair style of that era, it will just return with a new twist to it, as all hair styles do.
