Everyone's favourite romcom Pretty Woman might be over thirty years old, but its iconic beauty looks are currently undergoing a revival.
It’s not hard to see why either. After all, Julia Roberts’ character Vivian Ward served up some of the most iconic rom com beauty looks ever. From her signature curls, big bouncy blowout and swept-up and chic chignon, the on-screen hair inspiration was endless.
